The boy and I really enjoyed Bumblebee. The first 15 minutes alone were fantastic for someone who grew up with the classic Transformers in the 80s.
I definitely can see some of the Iron Giant parallels but I think it did enough different and Hailee Steinfeld's performance helps carry the film.
After my initial chuckle of recognition I had to do some quick mental math to confirm that the
"The Touch"
Easter Egg was chronologically possible for Bumblebee's setting date.
Anyway, the performances and look were all amazing, for sure, but it didn't take me.
We watched it over the weekend, and my sister's comment at the end was "Um, they forgot to end the movie." But the costumes are FABULOUS, and I did think all three actresses were very good.
Just saw Spiderman and LOVED IT SO MUCH.

We saw it New Year's Day, and all I could say for like half an hour after it ended was "AAAAAAAAA THAT WAS SO GOOD!!!!" over and over.
I'm usually decent at identifying voice actors, but I thought Noir Spider-Man was Ben Browder. D'oh! (I knew going in that John Mulaney was Spider-Ham. He was PERFECT.)
And also, I don't care what anyone else says, Noir Spider-Man's alias HAS to be "Peter Darker."

I think I'm going to see SpiderMan this Sunday, since it will probably leave before Aquaman does.
Aunt May was kicking names and taking ass.
Such
a good movie.
For your amusement: I found a link to a page on IMDB ... some people are upset about historical innacuracies in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter ... um ....
