Here's a YouTube playlist of short films I've seen.Michi wrote:Since February is a short month, I've decided that all my new write-ups this month will be dedicated to watching short films.

Seconded. Bumblebee is a fantastic transformers movie. It's certainly better than any of the Michael Bay transformers movies.prfsnl_gmr wrote:My son is really, really into Transformers right now; so, we watched Bumblebee (2018). I read it was pretty good and, therefore, radically better than all preceding Transformers film except, perhaps, the animated one. I ended up really enjoying it. It’s set in 1987, and it is a throwback to the 1980s “teenager finds a totally radical thing from out of this world!” genre. It’s well-acted, funny, and, at times, touching, and it also has a few very good action set pieces. It also has a great period soundtrack (which even includes “The Touch” by Stan Bush!). It is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime, and I recommend it if you have fond childhood memories of The Transformers.
I saw the animated film recently. (Again, I have a son obsessed with transformers.) It has some inspired moments, but, soundtrack aside, it’s not that good. Certainly, it’s not as good as Bumblebee.samsonlonghair wrote:Seconded. Bumblebee is a fantastic transformers movie.

That really makes Bumblebee stand out as an incredible Transformer movie. If I was being completely objective, I might even say that Bumblebee is better than the animated Transformers movie from the mid-1980s. It's hard to seperate rose-tinted childhood nostalgia from objectivity when it comes to movie quality.
