Summary: One of the lead movies I have ever seen in animation/voices
Review: I too saw the movie in the Theaters back in the 80s, I too cried, when Optimus died. And shock when Starscream was destroyed. This movie is one of the few movies that I have searched for, and was lucky to come accross a copy about a 3 years ago. It was and is worth looking for and paying any price. But don't forget the vocies, perhaps the best collection of vocies such as Robert Stack, Orson Wells, Leonerd Nimoy (Spok from Star Trek) who is the vocie for Galvatron. Also Judd Nelson, Eric Idle, and Wierd Al...I strongly suggest people who are fans and any kind of animation to get a copy of this historic animation movie...

Summary: What can I say? One of my favorite movies of all time...
Review: Transformers: The Movie is awesome, not just for kids but for anyone. I was 6 years old at the height of the Transformers craze in 1984 and I was so excited to see the film in the theatres! This is VERY different from the regular cartoon. In the series, when the Autobots and Decepticons got hit with laser blasts, they fell and got back up. In this movie, the die, and I mean, they have huge holes in their chests and they get blown apart and one even gets reduced to a pile of ashes (I'm sure all of you TF fans know that one). From the opening death scene, to the A/D battle, to the creation of Galvatron and the huge fight with Unicron at the end, this movie has it all. Buy it!!!!

Summary: Still an awsome movie less any enhancements
Review: Like many, I was excited about this re-release from Rhino. Bought it tonight (10/5), got home, and found out it is no different than my FHE (Family Home Entertainment) version. For anyone who already has it and looking to buy it because you think it is enhanced, don't bother. The movie is NOT in stereo, mono only. This is NOT the uncut version as one of the reviewers have stated. This is a straight re-release of the FHE version. The only noteworthy item is the fact that after the opening credits an opening synopsis appears in Star Wars like fashion, narrated by Victor Carroli. I believe that came from the Japanese version. There are versions out there that are uncut (Spike's infamous "oh s**t" line). That may be worth a purchase for you if you already own the cut one. Anyway I feel that anyone who doesn't own this movie, this would be a great buy and an opportunity to own a great film and a piece of nostalgia. Audiophiles and sticklers for details like myself, steer clear, nothing new here. I guess a DVD version is our only hope for getting a real theatrical release and killer sound. Note to Rhino or any other video production company: If you do decide to put this on DVD, enhance it please!

Summary: At Last!! I'm a kid again!
Review: Ok, back in '87 i went to the movies with my Dad and watched this flick. Let me just say now that Hasbro made a ton of money off of me when i was a kid, something my Mom & Dad didn't appreciate all that much, but I still got most of the toys (which my parents later sold for fifty cents & up at a yard sale...DAMN THEM!!!) Anyhow, I was twelve and this movie kicked me in the butt! I loved it! Went to go see it 3 more times (don't laugh) and rented whenever I could. Then I grew up and for years I couldn't find this movie anywhere! Ah, I'm just rambling now...but if you liked the toys, the series, and especially the movie, you've got to see this again!

Summary: Optimus Prime: RIP.
Review: I saw this movie in theatres when I was 11 years old. Needless to say, it was rough. One of this movie's greatest strengths is that it transcends the original (and somewhat cliched) animated series and became something more. This was the moment when the Transformers became more than a mere toy-line, but an actual Science Fiction saga. I had never before seen a hero I cared about die before. Optimus Prime had been one of my idols for a long time, and to see him wounded--to see him die--was something I would never forget. Yeah, it's easy to say he was just a cartoon character. But to an eleven year-old kid, he was one of my role models. Kudos to voice actor Peter Cullen (the voice of Prime) for making his sacrifice poignant and real. See this movie.

Summary: The Greatest Animated Film Of All Time
Review: I remember Transformers when I was a kid. They were the greatest toys. Seeing the Movie was a great experience. To bad Optimus Prime died, but at least he took Megatron with him. This film does bring back great memories.

Summary: Critics hated it, fans loved it.
Review: What can I say? I've seen this movie over 50 times. Literally. This movie will always remain a classic in my eyes. I saw it only once in the theater in 1986. I just wish I could see it again in the theater. The cast of voice actors was perfect. It is also not common knowledge that it was Orson Welles final perfomance. The soundtrack is also truly awesome. I went through 2 cassette copies until I found the CD. A must have video.

Summary: An excellent adventure for Transformer fans old and new!
Review: This Transformers adventure is an epic blast worthy of the big screen, the way it was originally presented. The animation is incredible! Very much in the anime spirit, the images move along in lighting fashion, yet with all the detail and fluidity Japanese animation exudes. The plot is exceptional, moving the Transformers of the 1980's into the future (2005) and setting the stage for the multiple transformations the Transformers' key players Optimus Prime and Megatron would take over the next decade. (Can you say Optimus Primal??) The soundtrack is a blast as well--kudos to the music director for the inspired synthesized accompaniament, as well as the rocking original tracks such as "You've Got the Touch" and Weird Al's "Dare to be Stupid" (As a side note, in Boogie Nights star Mark Wahlberg does a butchering rendition of "You've Got the Touch"--this may be the wrong name of the song, I can't quite recall). Regardless, the movie is a blast from beginning to end, and is an excellent romp for fans of the original Transformers as well as fans who have jumped aboard with Beast Wars and Beast Machines.
