I hated the Bay films, and stopped watching them after the 1st one. But I took a leap of faith and went to see Bumblebee today, and was greatly rewarded. Love the story, the actors, and the effects. Hailee Steinfeld did an excellent job and brought the movie to a whole new level. Everything was handled very well and could lead into a soft reboot. I'm in for another!
PS - There is an a bonus scene after the director's credit, so don't bolt for the door.

I love that they recreated a few shots from the original G1 TV show intro. Those were nice easter eggs.
I’m so pissed that Bumblebee finished 3rd at the box office this weekend. They finally make an awesome Transformers movie, but it does worse than all the Bay movies. After this I want to see them make another one with all the G1 Transformer designs. The first 5 mins of this was so awesome to see. I’d love a whole movie like that. I’m hoping it will pick up steam over Christmas. I’m hoping it will make lots of money so they will stick with this formula.

While I agree that would have been rad, there were still a ton of nods from the original Transformers animated movie. The Judd Nelson stuff, the intro, "You got the touch", I thought that was hilarious. I LOVED the designs, thats EXACTLY how the transformers should have looked. I desperately want this movie to make a ton of money because it was so good. The filmmakers need to know they did an amazing job. Even Prime's gun was right. Soundwave and Ravage!? So awesome. Im definitely seeing it again.

As I figured I would, I loved it. I'm a little biased though, as Bumblebee was always my favorite Transformer.
The "kid and their car" story really hit home for me. (In June '97 an abused '74 Camaro found me. I never went looking for it, the first time I saw it, it was in my driveway. 8 months later, my brother was killed. That car became the only bright spot in a world that was black. It's more a family member now than a car.) Anyway, there's a scene where the tears flowed a little.
Now, there was also a scene that I couldn't stop laughing at; Bumblebee "egging" the BMW....
I definitely want to see this again. Hope it has legs and does well overseas. I'd love it to branch off into it's own universe.

PantheraGem Sorry to hear about your brother - rest his soul.
I read it was supposed to depict Blitzswing,which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.Blitzswing was a purple/desert coloured Mig-25 in the G1 series,not a red/grey/blue F-15 with yellow canopy,which is Starscream.
That's why I said earlier in this thread: at least get the colours right when you make a tribute movie...

halliwax, No, he wasn’t named at all. He just comes out of nowhere and they fight.
Saw this Friday night, and thought it was overall very good. I really hope it does take off in a more familiar direction and slowly replaces/destroys/retcons the Bay movies and timeline.
Even though it seemed like a rehash of ‘07 TF, it didn’t “feel” like it. It did have a few things I didn’t like but it didn’t have the cringeworthy bits from the Bay movies.
Minus the dive part at the end. That was just stupid.

It was a prequel. I wish they would have just done a reboot. It would have given them so much freedom to do something amazing. I’d also like Bumblebee to speak. I’m sick of the whole radio thing.

After where I saw the other films going (not even making it though #4 and completely dodging #5) I'd say a reboot is an understatement. It needed a defibrillator to bring it back from the dead inside I had been feeling toward the cinematic films.
I still have not yet seen Bumblebee, but really looking forward to when I get some time after hitting digital release.
