Bumblebee (2018, directed by Travis Knight) is a spin-off of the Transformers franchise. This prequel is set in 1987 and follows the story of Bumblebee and his relationship with the tomboyish teenager Charlie Watson (Hailee Steinfeld).

I’m sorry Tobey Maguire, and I’m sorry Tom Holland, but this animated Spider-Man movie tops all the live action versions that I’ve seen so far—I won’t apologise to Andrew Garfield because his versions are pure trash. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018, directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman) is refreshing as its protagonist is no longer Peter Parker (Chris Pine and Jake Johnson), but instead it focuses on a teenage boy called Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), who is struggling to learn about his powers and cope with the responsibility of being the new Spider-Man.
