Including BumbleBee? I heard that one's a return to form.

All I know is I saw the first three and that was two movies too many to tell me I should never see another. I don't know why anyone else wouldn't expect future movies to be messes.

Bumblebee was a good reboot, this looks like it will be good. Critics are not reliable look at the scores they gave Godzilla, Battle Angel, Mario, all of which are great movies.
