Yesterday I watched Kubo & the Two Strings.. thought it was absolutely brilliant.
Hopefully the director can transition from stop motion into live action (w/ cgi) well.

He has to find a way to sell a BB toy that everyone is sick of Yeah, despite its history with the franchise. Kids usually don’t find the old style VW Beetle cool. And it’s been a long time since G1 and the Love Bug made the Beetle appealing to children.. But hey I just discovered a useless IMDb trivia. Bumblebee is a VW Beetle, in the Travis Knight’s previous film Kubo & The Two Strings there was a character called Beetle.

I...actually like Bumblebee’s design in this.
One of the things I hate about the Bayformers designs is how stupidly overcomplex and overdesigned they are. Just so damn many moving parts.
This look has significantly fewer moving parts, looks sleek and sexy as all hell, pleasing to the eyes, and honestly it looks like what one normally would have predicted a big budget Hollywood Transformers would look design wise.
Plus the scale looks like it makes way more sense too. Somehow the Bayformers designs always ended up being vastly bigger than whatever they transformed from could even remotely realistically be if things could transform into sentient robots.
Starscream(I assume that’s Starscream cause it is a jet that is red, black, and grey) looks awesome too from the brief look we have as well.
Dare I say it...I’m actually looking forward to a Transformers film for the first time since the first one came out?

It's getting a lot of initial positive reactions. Also echoes Spielberg-O's advice to Bay before the first Transformers flick "It should be about a boy and his car". Girl, in this case.

I'm assuming Cena's character here is the somewhat evil soldier who wants BB for the government?

That...that actually looks halfway decent. Fingers crossed that the rest of the movie is this good.

That looks good.
One huge positive is that you can tell the difference between Bumblebee and Starscream. Nice job, you won't be wondering why what you think is an Autobot is fighting possibly another Autobot in the battles.

This looks and feels like the total opposite of the past few Transformers films, which were white noise.

As someone who didn't enjoy the original Michael Bay trilogy so didn't bother with the rest since. This ACTUALLY looks fun and interesting at the same time.

I will still wait for reviews before I go to see it, but that is a good start.

Pretty good trailer. Liked the tribute to Bernie Mac by quoting his character in the beginning.

I'm intrigued. I love Bumblebee's design. It feels more G1 in a way.

so if they're not going with WWII, what was the point of pissing a bunch of people off by turning Winston Churchill's home into Nazi headquarters so Bumblebee could try to kill Hitler? was it that Michael Bay is just a complete and total moron?

Maybe it is in one flashback montage, or opening credits or something. EDIT: As pointed out below, that was the last movie. I haven't seen any since the first Mark Wahlberg one.
