Bumblebee Ratings & Reviews
- Charlotte Amelia12 March 2026Best Transformers movie made in some time. Very enjoyable.
- munk8887 March 2026I like alien robots that transform into vehicles. The CGI in the original Transformers from 2007 seems better. Weird. Anyway, my tweenagers liked the slapstick bits of this film.
- Zokkiie1 March 2026Didn’t think I’d say this about a Transformers movie, but this one actually has heart. It keeps things simple and focused, trading nonstop chaos for a genuine coming-of-age story with a lonely teen and her unexpectedly lovable Autobot. The action is tight and easy to follow, the ‘80s setting adds personality, and finally they look the way they should. It’s fun without being exhausting, emotional without being cheesy. Sure, the villains are pretty standard, but the charm carries it all the way through.
- Eric Bakke12 October 2024A shockingly good movie amongst one of the worst franchises in movie history. "Bumblebee" is the Transformer's version of E.T., blending charming storytelling with emotional depth that resonates with all ages.
- William Layton21 February 2026It was good entertainment
- Terry Phan27 September 2025I like this movie and how it introduces us to the new Transformers and how they look nothing alike from Michael Bay & Steven Spielbergs previous transformers movies however I might’ve gotten this mixed up from The Last Knight but in this movie bumblebee arrived in the 1980’s and in The Last Knight it is said that Bumblebee worked with The Allies in WW2 to sabotage a German base.
- Nathan Magreta8 December 2025Bumblebee is a solid prequel/spinoff with a strong cast with Steinfield and Cena and despite several flaws, is still entertaining at the end of the day.
- ryzenking8 January 2025One of ghe best Transformer movies in the series.
- Maxwell Family6 December 2025Great movie! Rewatching it with my son to introduce him to Transformers. He found it easier to watch than the first one. Now onto the G1 animated series for him!
- Chris Chatterje-Doody15 September 2025Definitely more watchable than some of the transformers movies. For all the action which was well done visually, you don't feel like much happens plot wise. But it has emotional depth, and a bit of character development. Overall a solid entry
- disulfiram24 November 2025A movie for babies. Good enough for a mindless hour and a half though
- gmrxbox21 October 2024I like the old transformers stuff mostly out allegiance to nostalgia (exception of Beast Wars of course, RIP). I remember enjoying the first Michael Bay movie, hating the second, and never coming back (did watch the... fifth? one recently, with all the Arthurian legend stuff. goddamn awful). Bumblebee, a prequel/spinoff is actually pretty good. Leans hard into 80s tropes, and of course, falls apart by the end, but there's an Allspark there. Solid soundtrack at least. Oh, and the opening scene on Cybertron is absolutely aces! (adding a plus to the grade just for that)
