Bumblebee (I) (2018)
9/10
Pays respect to the 80's cartoon I grew up on

Warning: Spoilers
I see a lot of reviews slamming this movie and I see their point of view but...

This movie actually fits better than any of the previous films. The Transformers themselves actually looked like their G1 cartoon counterparts. Soundwave even had his original voice and seeing Ravage gave me goosebumps even if it was a brief scene.

People saying it was too kiddie obviously never saw the cartoons that were guess what... made for kids, surprise right?!? How dare they.

This movie had all the makings of an episode stretched out. The morality issues, the life lesson, the decepticons take some sort of electrical base/tower etc. followed by a narrow win for the autobots including some sort of honorable self sacrifice. All the things I loved in episodes as a kid.

If this is a reboot and the first of a new series in this fashion I will be very pleased. I absolutely loved every minute of it and it brought me back to when I was a kid which is exactly what a live action Transformers film should do. I mean when I saw Bee roll up beside that big old truck at the end of the film it looked so good it gave me shivers. I knew exactly who it was.

All in all if you are hating on this movie do yourself a favor and go back and watch the G1 series that this movie pays homage to. Maybe after that you will get it. I for one think they nailed it right on the head.

Humans (2015–2018)
9/10
Captivating and well written
19 May 2018
First off I have to say Gemma Chan is simply brilliant in her performance through and through. I normally do not like Brit shows as I find them dry.

I gave this show a shot as it was a familiar story to one of my favourite movies (I Robot). However it is far less shoot 'em up action and way deeper in story and character developement.

There are a few actors I'm not overly fond of but most and specially Chan are simply amazing. I was completely gripped by the end of the first episode.

The only thing that really sucks about this show is that there are only 8 episodes per season. A show of this calibre certainly deserves more. Not sure if it is a Brit thing or not but seriously 8? I guess that is how you know it is a great show. It leaves you wanting more and more!
