Bumblebee

In 1987, a battle-scarred alien robot hides in a California junkyard, where a teenager discovers and repairs him. Their growing friendship draws attention from dangerous enemies and the military, forcing them to protect one another while the teenager searches for confidence and a place in the world.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a lighter, more heartfelt Transformers adventure with fun action and an ’80s setting; Not for you if you prefer relentless spectacle, darker intensity, or complex storytelling.
