Review: Bumblebee Offers a Successful Template for How to Make Good Transformer Movies

From Bumblebee directed by Travis Knight. Image courtesy of Paramount Pictures.

Bumblebee showed us that Transformer films can be good, if you focus on meaningful character relationships, spend time putting in the work to develop your computer generated robot and replace Michael Bay as the director. It wasn’t anything Earth-shattering but it was at least enjoyable, which should definitely be considered progress when it comes to this franchise. Hailee Steinfeld is pretty great, too.
