Review of Bumblebee

Bumblebee (I) (2018)
4/10
Ridiculous!
18 January 2019
I went to theatres to watch this movie after reading fellow imdb users' reviews, and I feel like I've been done wrong. Most of the positive reviews are written about how heart touching and not so over-the-top action movie this is. That is okay, as far as the story makes sense. The story is portrayed as too fairytale like, and seems like forcedly this movie is trying to fill in the minutes by showing unrelated cut scenes. Many times during the movie it felt like where was the common sense while writing the script, with national level security decisions being thrown around here and there, humans running in between transformers' fight, and dialogue delivery like that of a toddler trying to explain his evil plans. Nothing feels right about this movie, and I feel that in a rush to give this (a seemingly independent story) a happy ending, they went all outs to make it as cheesy and cliche as possible, to the point where one starts thinking what am I doing sitting in this theatre and wasting time on this nonsensical drama movie. PS: 4 stars for being a light-headed movie, with some good humour.
