Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

embryo923 I saw this movie for the first time as a 7 year old, maybe younger, in the early 1990's and it was an amazing experience for a kid my age. I remember the sounds, the colors, the shapes, everything about the animation and the audio brings me back to that place. The soundtrack by Vince DiCola is fantastic and has not aged a day. What I really love about this movie is that is does not have that "dated" feel at all, every time I have watched it as an adult it still impresses and intrigues me. The voice of Unicron played by Orson Wells is really a treasure as he passed away shortly after the film was released. The new Transformers movies have nothing on this classic. The 1986 Animated Transformers movie inspired kids all over the world and provided awesomeness to everyone who ever watched it.

gbm-68652 The Transformers The Movie is a loud attempt to reboot the series, but destroyed the originality and spirit of the original show. SPOILERS: The Transformers Movie manages to kill off almost every notable character from the show in the first 30 minutes. Actually, the Death count in this children's movie is so enormously high, it's insane. To top things off, Optimus Prime (The Flagship Character of the Franchise)is killed before the plot really gets going, a choice that haunted the franchise for years to come. It's completely obvious that the filmmakers and studio execs wanted to eliminate as many characters as possible so that they could sell new ones for new toys. In this way the film is defining, as it shaped the series for better or worse, but at the same time completely destroyed it.

wrightiswright You know those movie posters full of quotes from 'reputable sources' extolling the virtues of the final product?Well, here's a few for 'Transformers, The Movie'.'A junkyard of creativity''A rusty relic of a bygone era''Destined for the (s)crapheap'The ONE good thing about this merchandise-driven mess is, it's easy to form analogies when you're trying to accurately describe just how bad it is.Here's some less subtle pointers: Terrible, dated animation. Non- stop, awful, believe-in-yourself, bilge 'music'. The mind-numbingly tedious, incoherent robo combat. The attempts at 'jokes' which are so bad you'd assume they were satirising awful one-liners. The colour-coded gender divide, so the one and only female Transformer... Is pink. The stone-cold fact that the late, great Orson Welles gave his last performance in it... As a living planet. Yes, really.I confess, I couldn't make it all the way to the end... It was like trying to swim through treacle. No fun, just hard work and increasingly tiresome. But if you want to join the implausible fandom that exists for this tripe, then go ahead. Just count me out.I'd crush, and melt down the thing, meself... 3/10

SnoopyStyle It's 2005. Unicron is a planet-sized robot devouring robot planets. The evil Decepticons are in control of their home planet Cybertron while the Autobots try to mount an attack. The Decepticons ambush an Autobot shuttle. The Autobots are drawn into an all-out fight from the Autobot City. Optimus Prime and the Dinobots arrive. Optimus is killed in an ultimate battle with Decepticon leader Megatron. Megatron is severely damaged and Starscream takes over command of the Decepticons. Optimus passes the Autobot Matrix of Leadership to the new leader Ultra Magnus. Megatron is casted off and found by Unicron which transforms him into Galvatron. Galvatron travels back to Cybertron where he destroys Starscream and takes back command of the Decepticons.This is basically the Saturday morning cartoon extended into an hour and a half while killing off a lot of the Autobots. I'm going to be a little bit cynical and a lot realistic. They wanted to get rid of the old characters so that the kids could buy the new toy figures. The story is a mess with very specific goals. It's out with the old and in with the new. The story doesn't flow as much as rambles on and on introducing new characters or new forms of old characters. It's an important film but only for fans of the show.
