Summary: GREAT ANIMATION, COOL STORY, TERRIFFIC SOUNDTRACK! ......
Review: .....The greatest animated movie of all time, TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE! I have actually had this on VHS since it was first relased in 1987, and, although I have seen it hundreds of times, it is STILL a cool movie, the animation has hardly dated at all, and the soundtrack, and this is no 'fanboy' speaking, is truly the BEST soundtrack I have EVER heared, there are loads of standout tracks, especially 'DARE' and 'THE TOUCH'. The story is just one of good (Heroic Autobots) versus evil (Evil Decepticons), whose battle has erupted from thier own planet, Cybertron, to Earth, and back again, and by the time the movie takes place (2009, I think), the war is raging on both planets. The story is basically about the Autobots saving Cybertron from being eaten by an all powerful being (UNICRON, the largest Transformer of them all), but this movie is really about introducing all of the newest characters from that year(Kup, Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime,Ultra Magnus et al)and getting rid of all of the older ones (Prime, Ironhide, Megatron et al) Just go and buy this movie, especially if you like japanimation.

Summary: Childrens Classic
Review: I personally have been a fan of The Transformers for years, and still have all the toys to prove it. Transformers the movie was an absolutly excellent film and I recommend it to all ages and races. It also has one of the most tear jerking performances ever witnessed in an animation. With vocal performances from the likes of Orson Welles, Eric "Monty Python" Idle and Lenord "Spock" Nimoy it is truly a classic work of entertainment and science fiction. The only thing this film lacks is the fact it is not on DVD. Hopefully the top brass at where ever will finally get round to sorting out this ludicrusy. Until then I have to be content with the video, but what a video it is.

Summary: The touch
Review: I'm a man of few words. I'm twenty years old and I have seen a lot of movies, but Transformers The Movie will always be MY FAVORITE MOVIE. Those who ridicule it don't know the whole story line, how it goes from Optimus Prime and Megatron into Rodimus Prime and Galvatron in such a fluid (and shocking) motion. If you like Transformers and never seen the movie, you'll LOVE Transformers afterwards!

Summary: forgive me.............
Review: Ok, ok, I realize that I am going to be fried for this but here goes.......I loved this movie as a child. I worshiped the TV series and I still have quite the collection of Autobots, and Decepticons. However, when my friend got me this film for my birthday, I watched it and found that it really did not hold my interest anymore. I think this film better served its purpose in the 80's, and is truly lost in today's modern era of animation. I would, however, like to see this film remade with better animation, and a FAR better soundtrack. I love the toys, but I did not like this movie.

Summary: An incredible paradigm of modern capitalism
Review: As most of you already know, the way to hook children is to make incredible characters that translate easily to incredible toys. This will make you a millionare. If you look at popular toys today, you'll realize that they are often complex. Consider Power Rangers, a show that was definetely devoid of any human interest, but still an incredible source of imaginative violent little toys. I won't even get into Pokemon (which by the way, I'm told that since I loved Transformers I can't very well insult Pokemon. I believe that's kind of false. Pokemon exists on a large cast of threadbare characters, with toys that I could never have played with. I can see it fueling an imagination, but where's the personality?). Transformers is different from the cartoons and action toy manufacturers of today. Transformers existed with hundreds of characters that all had distinctive personalities, far different from the ninja turtles, power rangers, and pikachus of today. And the toys were intensely fun. What does all of this have to do with the film? Well, I'll tell you! Transformers at first glance can be dismissed as nothing more than a carefully planned add campaign. Partially true, mostly for the executives who sold the show, but as for the people involved in the show, and especially the movie, human interest, emotion, intense scenes of violence, and characters you grew to love mixed together. To be a child at the time of Transformers was to be enriched by something with a brain, even if it was occasionally cheesy. If only Capitalism could always be this cool.

Summary: COME ON...U NEED TO READ REVIEWS? THIS MOVIE IS INCREDIBLE!
Review: While I own the movie (the soundtrack and the score) and consider it to be an all-time favorite (I know all the words) this movie could have been written better. It starts strong, but it slowly goes downhill as the plot progresses, and by the last 20 minutes, it looked like they really rushed the ending...but I will give it this: There has yet to be a popular ACTION cartoon, theatrical or not, to ever come close to topping "Transformers: the Movie". This is a fact. With an all-star cast, (and being the great Orson Welles' last movie) "Transformers: the Movie" is already a classic. I see Autobot/Decepticon insignias on cars EVERYWHERE out here in California. This movie is a bestseller on Amazon.com! I knew I wasn't the only one crazy about "Transformers: The Movie"...Till all are one.P.S. There seems to be a correlation between those who liked "Voltron", "G.I. Joe", "Robotech" or "Thundercats" and a love for the "Transformers". These were the great cartoons of the 1980s. If for some strange reason you're familiar with the aforementioned cartoons and not with the "Transformers", I can guarantee that this movie will not be a dissapointment. As a single film by itself, "Transformers: The Movie" stands out way above the rest. "Robotech" may be my favorite overall, but mark my words, there has yet to be a popular ACTION cartoon to top 'Transformers: The Movie'...trust me. Oh, and "Transformers: The Movie" is an 'Anime' title...personally, I find Anime (japanese animation) to the best kind of animation for action cartoons. Stop reading and just get yourself a copy before it goes out of print again! You may want to check out "Macross 1984: Do You Remember Love?" - my other fave. It's not as exciting as "Transformers: The Movie", but it the animation is better...and the story is great. By the way, it's extremely hard to find - and much better (and more complete) than the standard english dub. Knyte. (Trust me)

Summary: As good today as it was in 1987. A True Classic!
Review: It is difficult to add to what has already been said about this movie. When a person sees that it has 161 reveiws, and that all of them gave the movie 5 stars, it makes one pause for a minute or two. I haven't seen this movie since it came out in the 80's. I was not sure if it would be the same after all these years. All I can say is that it is as good today as it was in 1987. The noble sacrifice of Optimis Prime, the way Rodimis dealt with Galvatron... those scenes are classics. The soundtrack brought back so many memories of the 80's. As others have said, this movie should be turned into a DVD. The only problems I had with the movie were the star wars like beginning with the narration (which was not part of the movie when I saw it in 87) and the way they spoiled the ending with the narrator talking about Prime (another part which was not in the original movie). For all Transformer fans and other anime fans, this is a great movie which brings back a lot of memories for old timers, and hopefully will spark new ones for others.

Summary: Great retrofun and a particulary amusing soundtrack!
Review: I never saw this when I was young but had the toys and saw the cartoon series on TV. If you're watching this for the first time in years, the first thing that you'll notice is the soundtrack. The famous "robots in disguise" and "more than meets the eye" sound and the transformation sound! Musically, the film has a typical eighties synth score with those hilarious digipad drums! Fight scenes between the robots are accompanied by a cheesy rock song! Ugh. The animation is reasonable but not what you'd expect from a feature film (even though it's a cartoon, it's not a patch on anything from Disney in the same era). The plot is okay but of course it has be ludicrous for the film - a transforming planet that eats other planets. The death of Optimus Prime and the re-birth of Megatron are both "classic transformers moments" and I especially think Leonard Nimoy as Megatron/Galvatron did the best vocals job! Go on, revisit your past!
