Bumbleebee Movie - first trailer

Huh...

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it looks... decent. But I've gotta crush that optimism. Don't want to go getting my hopes up.

It looks promising, and the 80's nostalgia is strong in this one.

Starscream actually looks somewhat like his G1 self, and even the brief transformation sequence seems similar to his G1 in-flight transformation.

Also, this Bumblebee's battle mask has a similar appearance to Animated Bumblebee's battle mask, but also has compound eyes, just like a bee. Nice.

I like the new Bumblebee design with all the beetle kibble. I'd totally get that MPM based on this design.

But can we have an effing Bumblebee that can actually speak for a change please!?

Showed the girlfriend the trailer; she thinks the new Bee is cute and is genuinely more excited than me. Yeah maybe this new one targets a slightly different demographic.

Please no, it’s so nice to after so many years to read a movie thread where people seem to have a positive attitude. Don’t take that away, I beg of thee

I found it interesting that they are playing on nostalgia for the first film by using the Bobby Bolivia dialogue.

The similarity to Bumblebee meeting Buster might be a coincidence but even so, it's a good one.

I do kinda wish though that they set the film in 1984 rather than in 1987 or later but of course: trailers lie.

Looking forward to seeing this.

I got some really good vibes from the trailer, despite not loving the BB design... so here's hoping!

I wasn't too sure it was Starscream when watching the trailer, but this image I saw on facebook has me thinking it definitely is... with some Gen1 elements to it, just like Bumblebee has.

Certified Bay hater here, but right now just from that trailer I will be spending my money to go and see this movie, I hope its appropriate to take my daughter too, she's really getting into transformers now and from that looks like she would get into it with a younger female in the role depicted.

I like the trailer, the voice over by "Bobby Bolivia' (RIP Bernie Mac) gave me chills.
I'm not a fan of Bumblebee not talking but I can see why they've kept it if this is in fact the same universe as all the other live action films. I get a feeling it might be handled better this time though.

My favourite thing is that Bumblbees robot mode isn't overly gappy. he looks like he has a shell/skin/surface to his structure, something that clearly defines his profile but also he's not full of gaps making it easy for an enemy to attack his weaker internals.

I'll be interested to see what Rating it has.

Now all I have to do is avoid any further trailers till it comes out in December.

I'm with you on every point. But I really hope Bumblebee starts talking at some point in the film. It would really help with developing some characterisation. Also, that Decepticon jet was nice!

Ok so this looks quite promising, seems they are going with a G1 look, The shot with Starscream sold it for me, but, is it me or does Bumblebee appear feminine?, maybe it’s the headlights?
