Holden forgot that Bumblebee losing his memories would also mean he forgot that he’s a warrior from an advanced civilization 😂😂

This movie has the best line in Transformers history: "They literally call themselves DECEPTICONS. This doesn't set off red flags?"

I know Jenn is gonna be like, "Oh this is a cute movie."

Jens reaction to the looks of the transformers is fun. I remember being in theaters and freaking out over seeing the iconic looks finally get portrayed in live action. Bee was usually one of the small Autobots so he could interact more with humans than the ones that tower over them

The only reason Bumblebee acts scared towards her is because he lost his memories, which include his training of fearlessness but he eventually gets them back, which is why he sort of acts like Iron Giant for most the film, hints the "core memory system" thing that showed up in his vision after get blasted and ran down

"John Cena wearing camo... Why bother?" Got me laughing so hard 🤣

This movie has by far the best live action depiction of the Transformers. Bumblebee's small stature is accurate to his G1 counter part and honestly I can't complain. Who wouldn't want a tiny but also sorta big robot bff

Since Jen loved this movie I recommend watching Transformers Prime. Bee definitely shines a lot in that show. Definitely recommend it

The best way to look at this movie is as a standalone reboot of the franchise. It was originally intended to be a prequel to the Michael Bay films, hence why Megatron is not present, since at that point he would've already crashed on earth looking for the Allspark. The underperformance of The Last Knight caused them to reshoot and rewrite certain scenes in this movie, in case they needed a way to soft-reboot the movies. There is nothing in this movie that outright shows that it isn't in the same universe until the ending scene with Optimus and the Autobots arriving in the 80's instead of 2007. This movie's story will supposedly be continued in the next film, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, set to release June 2023.

Jen's love for Bumblebee is so heartwarming. I love her reaction to these movies. It's give me such a fuzzy feeling. I love it! I can't wait for the OG animated film.

RIP Cliffjumper. I had him as an action figure when I was little, so he was always one of my favorites in the 80's show.

I always found it funny how badass Optimus Prime is even though he started out as what's basically a librarian.

I laughed at Yelena saying Kate bishop a lot more than I should’ve

As someone who watched the original cartoons as a kid and played with the original toys, it was great to see all the Transformers looking like their gen1 forms. The movie was fun and light and much better than the last few crazy Transformers movies. I also thought the fight choreography was great, especially how they used transforming during the fight to their advantage. Thanks guys!

I love the dichotomy between your two reactions, so hilarious

The video didn’t even start and I already can hear Jenn’s „OMG it’s Bumblebee”

The thing I loved about this movie is that the colors were back. You could tell the Autobots and Decepticons apart cause they weren't all one stainless steel color.

The opening scene surpassed the entire Bayverse by a landslide

Holden, Jen, HUGE FAN. Just wanted to recommend "Ranking of Kings" because I think Jen will absolutely love the main protagonist and I think you will really like how dense and complex the entire story is. But don't let the posters or the cover arts fool you, the show is brutally hardcore and will test your teardrops. Once again, BIG FAN.

Bumblebee is one of my favorites, i'm glad she watched it and can't wait for you guys to see more Transformers.

13:20 Because when he first arrived on Earth by the "dominate life on the planet." He was attacked by them. Then he was attacked by a Decepticon and had his voice box removed or damaged. Then he lost his memory. He IS a warrior from an Advanced Civilization but he does not know that.

Can’t wait for them to watch the 86’ movie. It’s my favourite of the transformers movies and it will be interesting to see Jen’s reaction to the events of the first 30 minutes, especially the space ship scene

The difference between your reactions to this movie is hilarious 😂

Ive seen this movie before but forgot cliffjumper was in it. When bumblebee was fighting Blitzwing i was like "they should have cliffjumper because hes like a red bumblebee". Also, triple changers are dope

As far as I understand, this film is no longer a prequel to the 07 movie, it is just a reboot. Good thing too

It’s funny that everyone loves Bee but gives no credit to the Bay movies. Ironically, they are the reason that he’s as popular as he is.

I personally enjoyed it, but as a Transformers fan, the opening was incredible. I also like that this film calmed down and had more focus than the previous Michael Bay directed movie.

You could make a drinking game just from Jen saying "I don't like this..." lol

I didn't expect to enjoy this movie as much as I did, but after the last two Bayformers film, this was like a breath of fresh air.

Dang Holden, your puns are as cold as a Decepticon's steel in this one. LOL

I saw Bumblebee when it came out and honestly it was the first Transformers movie since Revenge of the Fallen that I’ve really enjoyed. I love the old style of every transformer and the soundtrack for this movie is great too.

holden’s dramatic “comment of the day” segment is becoming my favorite part of every video

Bumblebee’s voice actor in this film is also the main character in the Maze Runner Trilogy

For those who don't know, this movie is a complete reboot from the tf movies, it isn't a soft reboot or a prequel, Hasbro confirmed years ago that this new movies will be set in a complete separate universe from the known "Bayverse"

Dylan O'Brien is the voice actor of Bumblebee. The same man was in Maze Runner trilogy and Teen Wolf TV series.

Rip Cliffjumper in every movie/series he always ends up dying, HE NEEDS JUSTICE

I totally vibe with Jen in this. I already loved Bee the most in the films but watching him in this made me want to ball my eyes out

I love how intricate y’all’s sponsored skits are getting 😂

13:26 He immediately thought of every live leak video he’s ever seen and pondered the question: “should I say the truth or tell her what she wants to hear.”

I was waiting for this reaction for so long. Bumblebee is hands down one of my favorite movies of all time, and easily very rewatchable. I watched it so many times that even Charlie’s annoying family eventually grew on me. Everything else is great, and I love how the villains got the spotlight, Shatter was an original character created for this movie, Dropkick was a nobody, even young Agent Simmons makes an appearance here.

I like the part where Bee eyes turns red when he is on Hatred. Which is fitting considering that Decepticons are the Hatred ones. And at 24:41 is a reference to Transformers G1 Intro. Where I think Jazz is transformed to a vehicle mode when he getting thrown just to create a momentum to turn around and transform into robot mode to punch decepticon’s ass.

I sometimes rewatch this movie just for the cybertron scenes. It really relit my faith in the series. The new directions and designs are amazing. Also Bee is smaller because he was like that in G1. Again they're much closer to the original now

This movie was actually shot right on the beach that I work next to. We have big movie posters from Bumblebee, Lost Boys and Us because it was filmed at the same beach

I really liked Hailee Steinfeld in this movie and in the Hawkeye TV series. I would love them doing a Disney The Love Bug style movie with Bumblebee as the love bug.

Holden & Jen, going into the 1986 Transformers: The Movie, I feel like some context is required in advance. That movie was also a soft reboot for it's time. It was after the first two seasons of the show and utilizes a time jump from 1986 in the series to 2005 in the film. It was also a marketing tool to phase out existing toys and introduce new ones in ways that largely traumatized many younger kids. Narratively it also shakes things up by resetting the status quo for the TV series which would be set after the movie going forward. The best things about it are the action sequences and the 80's 🎸 soundtrack, but it is a little harder to get your footing without knowledge of the TV series, so manage your expectations. Also, some dialogue between Prime and Megatron will seem familiar as it was lifted for the Bay films.

Holden hardman, you’re a great man for uploading this the perfect time before I have to go to work. The pre work Holden videos go crazy

lol Cliffjumper won't be jumping anymore cliffs 🤣🤣

Transformers Prime series should be next! I know Jen will love Bumblebee in it

“Bumblebee is a warrior from advanced civilization what os he doing”did you miss the part on screen where it said memory cell failure he’s basically a baby for the duration of the movie until the end

Holden naming fight moved has got to be one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen, absolutely glorious!

bumblebee is a warrior from an advanced civilization but you have to remember his memory is completely gone and he just wakes up next to some alien creature that he has no idea what it is, you’d be scared too

The opening scene is the best one in the whole series lol

Also during the filming production of the Bumblebee movie that Peter Cullen didn't enjoy Voicing as Optimus Prime for the bumblebee movie cause the Studio decided to use a different voice actor and they brought in Peter Cullen to re record the lines

Amongst all the live action Transformers movies, this is actually my fave. It had that adventurous aspect to it compared to Bay's films and I loved the Charlie and Bumblebee relationship. I love how it reinvigorated the franchise, while still respecting what made the classic cartoons loved. Can't wait for Rise of The Beasts which is a sequel to this film(at least I think it is).

This is literally a 37 minute video of Jen simping over Bumblebee and I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Bumblebee was originally a prequel but they changed it to a soft reboot then it became a reboot after the positive feedback this one received can’t wait for you guys to watch the 86 transformers movie also when the next transformers movie (which is a sequel to bumblebee called rise of the beasts) are you guys going to do a review of that when it comes out

The Transformers having vehicle parts on Cybertron is a reference to the original cartoon. The Transformers looked the same on Earth and Cybertron

I've been watching these movies along with you guys! And I'm frickin ill right now, so this video is pretty uplifting :)

In the beginning u can see Bumblebees heads up display say Memory Cells Failing. So he had forgotten all together that he was an autobot warrior

This is the most accurate of the live action transformers movies. Seeing all the classic cartoon characters show up was amazing. Even if some died horribly

Bumblebee stumbling around the house destroying things is how I imagine Falcon and Boston act everyday.

holdens sidemarks mid movie always make me laugh, specifically mid Bee vs Decepticon (dont remember the names) scene. overall enjoyed the movie for enjoyment, didnt take it too seriously. always look forward to watching your guys' videos

Angela basset played the red deceptican in Bumblebee

The sponsor skit was pure genius loved it so glad I found your channel

17:59 Smiling when that scene happened. They played my favorite song of all time.."The Touch" by Stan Bush. Fun fact that is the song from "The Transformers: The Movie" that came out in 1986. Ironically, a year before "Bumblebee" takes place.

Holden and Jen, I absolutely loved the Factor skit!! It was amazing and after having stomach pain all day, that really made my day! Thank you!!😄

An interesting thing to note about cybertronians is the fact that their weapons such as missiles, bullets, or energy blasts behave similar to how hair and finger nails do on people. They grow back. It’s weird but it does answer that question.

If Jen loves this human companion she might LOVE Sari from Transformers Animated (2007 cartoon)

I absolutely love this movie, just as much if not more than the others in the series. I've always loved Bumblebee and I love the Charlie-Bumblebee relationship; they just were so great together. But one other thing I loved about this movie on a personal level was the year it is set in, 1987; I was 16 in 1987, so the time period of this film was very nostalgic for me. It brought back some great memories. I regularly watch this movie as I own a copy and I have the full-size film poster hanging up.

As much as I love Bumblebee, it's absolutely shady that the producers had Peter Cullen mimic someone else who was playing Optimus Prime. That's such a slap in the face to the man who originated the role of the Autobot Supreme Commander.

Glad you guys liked it. Been waiing for this one

Since you guys love the transformers movies and you guys are getting into animated shows now, it would be awesome if you guys watch Transformers prime I believe you would love it

At this point Jen should just get a Bumblebee plushie to put next to her pillow

31:15, just to clear this up, it has been announced by the main studio Paramount that this is separate from the Michael Bay films (aka a full reboot not soft reboot), so Optimus looking different and also arriving earlier explains that this isn't supposed to continue with the Bay storyline, this timeline instead continues into next year's Transformers Rise of the Beasts, So basically....: Timeline 1: Transformers Transfomers Revenge of the Fallen Transformers Dark of the Moon Transformers Age of Extinction Transformers the Last Knight Timeline 2: Bumblebee Transformers Rise of the Beasts

Watching the old cartoon movie as kid actually scarred me seeing all my favorite characters just die 😢

Jen asks if this movie is all massacres, wait till the beginning of the 86 film 😅

i’m surprised no comedies have had a joke about john cena wearing bright clothes while everyone else is in camo 😂

that sponsor skit was chefs kiss lol

Personally I loved this movie. After seeing it for the first time was amazing. I loved the lore, the bad guys, the voice acting, the story. And yes it does have cute moments but it’s also somewhat more serious than other transformers movies. As we literally see people get liquified. I have to admit I like seeing them pop to. The cgi was pretty fantastic. And on top of all else it has John Cena.

The movie was originally a prequel to the Bay films but Hasbro later retconned it to be the start of a rebooted universe. So all the future movies will ignore the Bay movies, and solely use Bumblebee's canon. Also, rip Cliffjumper. He always dies a horrible death lmao.

While i prefer*** the designs in the first Transformers movie to the ones here. Im so glad they decided to scale back the overdesigning bc it definitely looks better than those last few. Hopefully Marvel does the same thing soon.

This movie and the Transformers Prime series do a great job of giving Bumblebee, and the other Autobots a personality.

John Cena is in Peacemaker but it's actually a really great and hilarious show...youd like it if you loved "The Boys"

New drinking game take a shot everytime bumblebee is said

The thing that made this film 1000% better than the Bay series is that they portrayed the Transformers, both Autobots and Decepticons, more like their G1 original forms. Seeing Prowl, Wheeljack, Soundwave, and especially Optimus lookin like they're fresh out of the cartoon made my inner 80's child so happy :D Also, Jen: Bumblebee originally was a yellow VW Beetle, hence his name, he's always been one of the smaller Autobots along with Brawn and Cliffjumper Absolutely love hearing oldschool Soundwave saying "RAVAGE: EJECT" and having him pop out. SO COOL I also love how this film really hits home with the toxic positivity that families would push on their kids back then. You can't ever bad mad or sad or whatever, you always have to be happy or else something is wrong with you and that'll reflect badly on THEM :/

The first time I met my grandson, he used a bright yellow marker and drew a mark on paper and said bumble bee grandma! I had no clue until I saw my first transformer movie! 😂

Been waiting for this a long time, cheers guys!!

In terms of timing, the autobots originally arrived when the dinosaurs were around when the Ark crashed into Mt St Helens in Oregon and were revived in the 80s during volcanic activity. They were almost wiped out by Shockwave and Ratchet had to go dig out the dinobots

I definitely prefer this movie over the other transformers movies. The chemistry between bumblebee and Charlie was great. Even the other humans were more tolerable than the humans in the Michael bay movies

Ah yes cliffjumper the longest lasting autobot

Finally, a Transformers reaction I can watch.

Not gonna lie holden, I'm so sorry but I usually skip the ad section😬 but I was doing the dishes while watching this one and I was cracking up so hard while watching the factor ad! big props for making it so funny 👏

So glad Holden did a Iron Giant reference. This movie feels like that movie

Cliffjumper always freaking dies, in every iteration

This is without a doubt the best movie in the franchise. The story isn't the best thing ever, it's not winning any Oscars anytime soon or anything, but it's still a solid, well-constructed film that brought something fresh and new to the franchise with some great action, great effects, and a really strong (if not overdone) emotional hook between Charlie and Bee that gives the film a heartfelt center that the other TF films before it lacked. Great film overall IMO.

(Giving you guys a standing ovation) Bravo and super kudos on the sponsor skit. Very, very creative and funny. @17:59 Fun fact, that was the original song used in the '86 movie

I seen this movie so awesome Glad Jen and Holden react to it

If you look back at the first transformers movie and look at the scene where Sam is at the car lot picking out his car. You can see a beetle sitting right beside bumblebee and it’s a great tip of the hat in that great scene

I am so happy about the coming reaction to transformers 1986. Its the best movie (in my opinion) and a nice contrast to the newer stuff. (+ the best music)
