Summary: five stars +
Review: this is the beast animated movie of all time with great plot great voice actors great animation and the great story line the transformers was more than a fad (unlike pokemon the movie and tv seires witch is totally lame pointless and increadibly stupid) people complain the transformers the movie has a lot of violence including some deaths hello people what do you expect it's a war it just also makes it a little more real life do people expect everyone to survive in battle or from a giant planet eating transformer unicron I don't think so. i don't care what anyone says this is the best animated film ever.

Summary: Transformers Rule!
Review: One of the best films of the 1980's, I was so unhappy that I never got to see it in theatres because at the time I was residing in Puerto Rico, where theaters with English language films were scarce. However, upon my arrival in New York, I discovered this film when I rented it on video and became fascinated. Based on the toy line and cartoon series, this film uses dark animation and realism to illustrate the ultimate battle beween Autobots and Decepticons. With a menancing planet approaching (Unicron), the Autobots flee Earth and find themselves seperated in two parts of the galaxy. Hot Rod, Kup and the Dinobots find themselves on the planet of their creators, the Quintesons, and Arcee, Blurr, Ultra Magnus, Springer, Spike and his son find themselves on the Planet of Junk. The animation is fantastic and the soundtrack is pure heavy metal (appropriately for a film about "heavy" robots) I got great news for all you Transformers fans. After contacting Rhino, the DVD version will be released in October in its UNEDITED glory. The DVD will be in an anamorphic widescreen and will include bonuses such as the trailer. Keep an eye out for it! This film is definately a Generation X classic.

Summary: Greatest animated film of all time
Review: Dear reader, there is only one film in the world that still sends shivers down my spine every time I watch it: Transformers: The Movie. If I could recommend one film to anyone, it would be this adrenaline filled, pulse-pounding, expertly animated and flawlessly cast (Orson-GOD-Welles as the mighty Unicron) behemoth of a film. The moment when Prime dies still brings a tear to the eye, and the final battle must be witnessed to be believed, it is simply breathtaking. If Optimus Prime saying, 'Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost', follwed by the great song 'The Touch' doesn't make you shiver with excitement, the nothing ever will. 'Light YOUR darkest hour', and BUY THIS FILM!!

Summary: As great now as it was in 1986!
Review: I'm not going to write down all the brilliant features of this movie, as a number of other reviewers have already done so. I will say, however, that if you are a transformers fan then this is the ultimate nostalgia trip, and if you are not then you are missing out. It is so good that it is almost real. Forget most of the cartoons around today (with the exception of some Marvel ones e.g. Spider-Man, X-Men), this has a plot and characterisation lacking in not only cartoons today, but also most Hollywood and other films. PS Am I the only person who still sheds a tear with the death of the greatest autobot of them all?

Summary: awesome
Review: After a nights reminiscing in the pub about Transformers I hunted down the movie again and with a group of friends we huddled down to watch one of the greatest movies of all time. Non-stop all out from the moment you hit the play button, a dark rollercoaster ride of guns, violence, shocks and tears. A kids movie?The highlight is the stunning battle sequence which opens the movie. Childhood memories literally engraved on my mind were relived as heroes fall in battle, quite shocking now nevermind when I was 6. The movie is fantastically paced, its very fast and the soundtrack (a jolly rock based affair mainly from Stan Bush) will have your adrenalin in overdrive. It is brutal battle sequences which make this movie more than just a childs film, the same being true of cartoon films like Watership Down. Then the chaos pauses as Optimus Prime announces "Megatron must be stopped... no matter the cost." As he slowly transforms the inevitable dawns on you and tears may fall. The actual storyline is highlighted by the awsome menace that is Unicron, and he's actually quite haunting and mysterious - certainly not a baddy to laugh at. My main concern re-watching was the 'kiddy' element which often emerged in the series but not a single moment made me cringe. Quite simply one of the greatest films I have ever seen.

Summary: Transformers The Movie
Review: I saw this movie in theaters when it first came out. The PG version. Ever since then, I've struggled to find that version again. Soon afterward, a "cleaned up" version of the film appeared on shelves, much to my distaste... It was too clean for me. I wanted to see what I saw on the big screen. Thankfully, a full unedited version of the title appeared on store shelves and on Amazon.com too... If you are a Transformers fan, you absolutely MUST see this film! When I saw it at the cinema my jaw dropped quickly and often at the carnage which ensues when the Decepticons launch their counter-offensive. Cursing in a cartoon! The reality of it all impressed me, and reinforced my faith that cartoons are not only for kiddies. I was so inspired that I even sat down and wrote a sequel! The trend today is Japanese anime like Dragon Ball Z and others. You could say that the Transformers movie was ahead of its time... Anyway, there you have it. My advice? See it. THE UNRATED VERSION ONLY!

Summary: Whatever you do, don't listen to "Leo" on this one!
Review: This movie is awesome from start to finish! Jam packed with action all the way this is a rollarcoaster ride from start to finish. It's a shame Leonard didn't see this but then he wasn't a kid growing up with one of the very Best cartoons of the 80's! The movie leaves a few questions unanswered like it's leading up for a sequel, but the answered didn't come up in a sequel because none was ever made. Answers came in the tv series following up the movie. I remember crying in the movie when I first saw this about 14 years ago! Show your a true Transformers fan by voting for this to come out on DVD! by clicking in at the top they will email you when its available on dvd and also this goes towards as a vote towards it coming out on DVD format. If it never comes out on DVD you'll never be given an email but if it does you'll be making a great lot of people happy! Enjoy this one! great gun!

Summary: THIS SERIOUSLY ROCKS
Review: I've seen this movie so many times that i can not remember when i first saw it. I have to say that it is one of the best movies i have ever seen. The voice acting is very good, with pros like Orson Welles and Lenard Nimroy doing it. And the first third of the movie is something really special, where half the cast is mercilessly slaughtered. That's something i like about these older cartoons: they never hesitate to kill off characters. However, dispite the coolness of the first section of the movie, i think it wavers a little afterwards. There are lots of characters that are introduced who are painfully annoying. For example, Wheelie. Watch him for five minutes and you'll wish *he* was feed to the Sharkticons. It does get better with the Junkbots and Unicron's planet-eating tendencies. In review, i think the movies good parts far outweight the poorer parts, and it fully deserves the fives stars for the first half-an-hour alone.

Summary: The greatest animated movie ever?
Review: in my mind there can be no doubt that transformers the movie is. Unicron is voiced brilliantly by orson Welles and the 25 minute intro to the movie is the best i heve ever seen. The animation is of a very high standard and the plot is extremly original as is the whole transformers concept. Optimus Prime truly shines as the leader of the autobots, this was obviusly meant to be the Transformers swansong and boy was it ever. i truly urge anybody with a passing urge to see what all the fuss is about to pick up this movie.

Summary: One of the best movies I have ever seen
Review: When I was a child my whole life was nothing but Transformers. Then, all of a sudden, the series ended. A couple of months ago I was watching a pale imatation of Transformers called Beast Wars and I started remembering the good old days when I watched the orginal series. That was when I bought the video and it brought me back to the time when I was a child. I watched the movie when it first came out and was shocked by the fine storytelling and surprises that the movie had in store. I watch the movie every chance I get and hope to one day see the re-release of the orginal series on television. The new Transformers are and will always be pale imitators of the orginal classic and animatated movie is ten times better than most live action movies that I have seen in my lifetime.
