Transformers Bumblebee Rated PG-13, Important Rating Differences to Past Movies #JoinTheBuzz

Thanks to Seibertronian Survivefan23, we have word that the Bumblebee movie has received its official rating, and that rating is PG-13. While this doesn't come as too big of a surprise and it is a small disappointment to those hoping this movie would end up with a PG rating. Considering every live action Transformers movie so far has been PG-13, the rating description is the interesting part of this PG-13 designation.

As many fans will remember, the previous 5 movies included text related to "intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, brief sexual humor, and language." This film, however, only contains the very brief description "Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action violence."

So what this means for the movie is that the only reason this has its PG-13 rating is because of robot fighting time. There are no language concerns nor crude humor to be expected from this movie, meaning this movie is hewing more to its Iron Giant styled description and relying more on playful innocent fun for its humor and enjoyment.

So what do you think of this rating? Let us know in the comments section below!

PG-13

About time this family-oriented brand of a family-oriented toy company gets a legitimate family-oriented movie.

YES! This makes me so happy. I love the previous films but there was so much of that "humor" in it and it really weighed them down. Glad it held on to PG-13 though so we can get some satisfying fight scenes. I'm even more excited now!

If you're gonna call something humor, that indicates that people would find it funny. And I'm pretty sure no one laughed at hearing how statutory rape isn't statutory rape and here is copy of the law I keep in my wallet to prove it. :BANG_HEAD:

On a more serious note, thank God they're finally getting rid of the sexual stuff. It never belonged there in the first place. When you make a movie about a bunch of toys, kids are going to want to see it. I'll gladly take childish Bumblebee pissing on Agent Simmons over pervy Mrs Witwicky blabbing about how she listened to her son have sex.

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 :HEADHURTS: :lol:

But this time I'll definitely wait for some reviews *fingers crossed* [-( :BANG_HEAD:

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,

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!

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. :POPCORN:

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!
