Overview
On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie, on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary yellow VW bug.
I am surprised that this movie got as much press as it did. Full disclosure – I’ve seen most of the superhero movies but I am by no means a fan of the genre. This one was ok. A girl discovers a robot, treats it like a dog for a few days and then there is some fighting. It just seems like they could have come up with some other plot points.
