Mark Kermode Reviews Bumblebee

Back To The Eighties

Bumblebee is in cinemas in the UK and US now and Mark Kermode just reviewed it for BBC Five Live so here’s his review…

On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee the Autobot seeks refuge in a junkyard in a small California beach town. Charlie, on the brink of turning 18 years old and trying to find her place in the world, soon discovers the battle-scarred and broken Bumblebee. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns that this is no ordinary yellow Volkswagen.

Here’s the trailer for it too
