The best Transformers movie by a mile!

In fact, you don't really need to buy into the whole Transformers thing to enjoy this superb movie.

...And that's because this is more properly to be considered a retro eighties family fun movie of the kind Spielberg used to make back in the day...

...It just happens to have a Transformers character (s) at the centre of it.

It's basically an origin story of how the Transformers came to earth, by way of a sending a scout robot (Bumblebee), who unfortunately has lost not only his voice, but his memory also, and is hunted and pursued not only by the bad guy robots, but by the earth-man military.

Having parked up in an old scrap yard, he is found by Hailee Steinfeld's (is there anything this girl cannot do.... best actor of her generation?) outsider / misfit eighties teen to be her first car.

Of course, she's got all of the usual eighties teen angst issues going on, and befriending the alien robot helps her work through a lot of these issues, in addition to throwing her into an intergalactic struggle to help Bumblebee recover his wits, and accomplish his mission, while evading his many adversaries.

There is, other than the couple of evil robots, predominantly only this one Transformer here in this movie, which makes for a more focused film, and it is more about the relationship between her and Bumblebee.

Very warm, great fun, and unlike many of the transformers movies, well pitched, in terms of tone, the humour isn't "off" (it knows who it's audience is).

...It will have great appeal to the original transformers fans, who grew up with them in the eighties, as this is, essentially, and eighties film that has somehow escaped into this horrible new millennium to remind us all what fun used to look like.

Drenched in an incredibly well chosen eighties pop / alt soundtrack...

(There's even a Smiths song here!)

...This is an absolute gem,,, shame I left it so late to watch it, I think I was put off the prospect by having been beaten into despondency by the previous Transformers movies...

... Real great popcorn Saturday night movie. Thoroughly enjoyable! :)
