Actors: Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena,
Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Ortiz, Jason Drucker, Pamela Adlon
Rating: 8 out of 10, I’ve seen all the
Transformers movies understanding going in what was in store. In that regard
this movie surprised me because it had a little bit of depth and a lot of heart
which is due in large part, if not entirely because of the luminous presence of
Hailee Steinfeld. She plays a plucky teenager who finds a broken down VW bug
which turns out to be the venerable Bumblebee of Transformers lore (I guess at
this point there is lore). Her feelings for the huge robot may be a touch over
the top but Steinfeld makes you care which is a true rarity in this Hasbro
inflicted universe. John Cena is around to play the befuddled military type in
some true typecasting but the rest of the supporting cast is invisible for the
most part. I blame Steinfeld. A nice, family appropriate escape.
MVP: Steinfeld as the plucky Charlie, once
again dominating
