This is what happens when a real fan becomes the director.

This is the start of something beautiful...

Michael Bay: Who disrupts my coronation? Travis Knight: Coronation, Michael? This is bad comedy.

This guy knows what he's talking about. Sadly most directors are not like this. Travis knows that it's these small details that really make the characters who they are, Ops face mask, SW's tape launching. I would love to see a reboot with him in charge.

Okay this guy needs to direct every transformer movie from now on

The difference between this and the other movies is Knight and Bay.

Aaah! I love Soundwave. I’m so so happy to be his & Shockwave’s voice in the Bumblebee movie. His was such a nostalgic, iconic moment in the movie too. They all look so perfect! 😊💜🤖💙

This guy actually sounds like someone that respects the source material. It's a shame that they didn't do a complete reboot of the series.

Travis is truly The last Knight.

Listen to the passion in his voice. Clearly the right man for the job, the movie was brilliant.

The big question now: Will Megatron turn into that powerful gun for everyone to use?

I can hear Travis low-key throwing shade at Michael Bay and I don’t blame him, Travis is a true Transformer fan

Please Travis, reboot the entire transformers movies!

I like the difference in the deceptions in Knight vs Bay. The ones in Bumblebee have something that I hope everyone picked up on: Color. A ton of the ones in Bay are just grey or silver with little splotches of color. It just makes every Autobot and Decepticon feel like their own person and not someone that just is there to show a cool fight and die.

Alright Travis. You did my childhood proud. I trust you with Gundam next. Make me cry, son.

I love the visual effects work on all the Transformers films, but Bumblebee's opening sequence is better than all the films' runtimes combined.

I love him As A director he's so passionate about Transformers and He actually is a Transformers Fan

I love these designs! They're a perfect balance of detailed and not overly complicated. Very satisfying. I hope they continue to stray as far from the bayverse as possible. No offense to those who like it. I started out with bayverse then tfp but this feels more natural and new at the same time
