If I were a parent I'd be bothered less by a side character referencing masturbation than by the main hero of the movie urinating on a government employee doing his job.

I'm glad to read this because it MIGHT mean that there won't be any of that stupid cheesy humor of the last movies.

After The Last Knight, I said I wouldn't watch anymore TF films in theatres. Having that said, I like what the new director has done so far and I would give this movie a chance.

I've said that even before TLK (after AoE) and I've been sitting in the cinema's hall sometime in the first two weeks of its release or I think even on its first day because I guess I haven't seen any reviews

But this time I'll definitely wait for some reviews *fingers crossed*

"Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action violence."

I’m not little kid I don’t need and never listen to reviews tell what movie I want to see here is what happen when people need reviews tell them what to do in life my father wanted see movies revenant and blade runner two I did not those trailers look boring to me but those two movies received high rating reviews I was boarded out of mind watching reverent and I fell sleep through first half of blade runner two and woke up with headache for music being loud you couldn’t hear people in movie talking that’s how loud music blade runner two received high ratings I did not like both of those movies what is answer that........?

Well if people don’t like humor in transformers movies and sexual jokes what is explanation for people who like marvel movies that have sexual jokes in them guardians of galaxy 2 talking about nipples and penis, Thor ragnarock making joke of dead person who is dead, marvel movies have same comedy from previous transformers movies and are successful but they do not act like in comics and cartoons.

Having comedy in movie or not does not make it good movie Thor 3 had to much comedy I didn’t like it,

This comment scares me on so many levels

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Survivefan23, we have word that AMC Theatres have revealed the runtime for the upcoming Transformers: Bumblebee movie!

The run time for the movie, as per AMC, is shown to be 1 hour 54 minutes, significantly shorter than the previous movies in the live action universe. with the remaining movies clocking in somewhere near 2 and a half hours. What this means for the quality of the movie is yet to be seen, considering Avengers: Infinity War was a slamming success despite such a long runtime, and the Lord of the Rings movies were also extra long and well received, but other long movies such as Transformers: The Last Knight and Bladerunner 2049 did not really live up to the expectations set for them.

So what does this run time mean for you? Does this excite or disappoint you? Let us know in the comments section below!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Remember that TF spot #1 for Bumblebee that was in Spanish, and we were waiting on an English version of said trailer? Well, that English version has now dropped!

Thanks to the Comicbook.com Youtube channel, we have a new look at the TV spot #1 trailer, which here is revealed to be a full length international trailer as well. This version of the 1 minute long trailer shows us the same content from the previous Spanish version, but is now in English with Spanish subtitles. The trailer includes mostly previously seen footage, plus a shot of what looks like Thundercracker getting beat down by Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee's fun in trying to learn how to toilet paper a house.

Attached to this trailer are a few shorter TV spots as well, the first of which is in English and features a shot of what appears to be Charlie's family, along with a new shot of Shatter shooting her weapon in the same running scene from her and Dropkick's first robot mode images.

Check it all out below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

I'm totally cool with 2 hours. If da story ain't all mucky that "bee" plenty o' time to do a good movie. 'Course it depends on how many bots Hasbro wants to get in the film though, but they keep the flick tight on story and key charicters and don't make it a marketing fest it can totally rock.

Hasbro and Paramount are really going all out on the retro theme of the upcoming Transformers Bumblebee movie. With the Beetle alt mode, the 80s setting and even G1 rereleases sporting original packaging. Well to add to all this we have a new game based on the film available online on the official movie website for everyone to play. This game is made to look like 16 bit games of the past (like the SNES era) and is high score based, you can check my high score below. The idea is that you cannot run low on power and thus you must collect energon cubes, or oil while avoiding obstacles. There is a boss fight at every 5 levels where you will encounter Dropkick or Shatter and they will use both their alt modes.

Give the game a shot and let us know what you think!

[Nathaniel Prime]

This is seriously one of the most fun games I've played in a while. It's just so well done! I wouldn't change a thing, seriously! But I WILL beat that score William! Count on it!

We'll see

[Nathaniel Prime]

One thing I forgot to mention is that this game plays on mobile devices as well. I tried it on my phone and it works perfectly

We'll see

Heck yeah we will

Great game. Simple and fun.
Also how do you use pictures?

[Evil Eye]

One slight nitpick: The game is clearly styled after 16-bit systems like the Super-NES and the Mega Drive/Genesis, which didn't come out until the 90s. The most advanced graphics you'd get on an early/mid 80s machine would be something like a Commodore 64 home computer, which would still look nowhere near that nice. You might get something like that on an Amiga or a late 80s arcade machine, maybe?

Still, awesome.

[SimianProphet]

I'm not really one for these style of games, but it was fun enough to play once.

My score:
level 41
Oil 935
Energon 580
Cassettes 1386
Boss Battles 8

Actually the mega drive debuted in Japan in 1988, and then the US the following year. Europe didn't get it till the year after that. Though considering the movie is set in 1987, I would say the game is inspired by the latest arcade games that were making waves, some of which would hit the mega drive in its first assortment of games.

To be fair though, the mega drive didn't really hit its stride till a certain blue hedgehog turned up in 1991...

Huh, interesting! I assumed the movie was set in the early/mid 80s for some reason. But that makes more sense in any event- arcade machines always had an advantage over consoles in raw power/graphics (though nowadays an arcade machine with a comparable "power gap" over a modern console would be absurdly expensive).

[ZeroWolf]

I think it was the mid to late nineties where the gap between arcades and consoles really narrowed to the extent where it was a death knell for arcades. The minute arcade perfect conversions appeared or were at least possible that was it.

On topic about this game, curse you will for bringing it to my attention! This game is too addictive! I've got writing I should be doing!

[Nathaniel Prime]

Ha! Told ya Will! Level 46 with 9 boss battles! About 700 or so energon and oil and 1600 cassettes.

I really like this game. It's like a better version of the Mystery of Convoy game. If I could change just one thing though, I would add Blitzscream in the game. Other than that, awesome!

[Bumblevivisector]

I do wish I knew how to take screen caps.

I just got to about level 93 (maybe higher, forgot to write it down), 1962 oil, 1751 Energon, 3195 Cassettes, and 18 boss battles!

I ultimately lost because the screen couldn't generate itself as fast as Bee was running across it. Not sure if the problem was on their end or my PC.
