Summary: More than meets the eye
Review: Many of the classic cartoons have become movies. There have been 2 Care Bear movies (both good) GI Joe the movie (Ok at best) Masters of the Universe (Laughable) and all have have been basically what the cartoons were all about. They easily could of been part of the animated series (Except Masters because it was live action). This one however went above and beyond that. It didn't start off like anohter episode, we went to many years later (At least from the point I remember) the war is in the favor of the Decepticons and there is much trouble a brewing. Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus are valiently defending the Autobots (as well as the other guys) and things are looking grim, especially since an even more dangerouse menace called Unicron is coming. That is mearly the start.
Teh animation is straight out of the series as it should be, no fancy computer effecxts (I am looking in Pokemons direction) or just a measily follow up to the series (GI Joe).
What really impressed me however was not just the story, it was the new theme music that Lion gave the movie. It's the same words but with a powerful 80's rock and roll style to it that is incredible. Literally you must hear it to believe it.
In the end however it will dwindle down through time as another leave on the shelf rental. Why, because of one primary reason, it's age. True this came out in the late 80's, but in the childrens section iut does it little justice. The violence and mild profanity deem it to be at the very least in the animation section of any rental place. That it has become a cult hit that few will pay attention to unless you were actually a fan of the series. The new series can even begin to compare to power and coolness that this one held. Beat Wars come on, and this new combo of the two is just as bad.
Buy this if you are either a fan of the series or like a good animated movie.

Review: I loved this movie when I was a kid and it still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy today. My only complaint is the really horrible soundtrack. It's basically 80's elevator music for kids. I find it slightly distracting.
Apart from that, the story is good and the acting (well, okay, they're cartoons) is oscar worthy.
It's too bad that this is the only Transformers movie ever created.

Summary: Not what you may think...
Review: Believe it or not, The Transformers is an exercise in rebellious filmmaking. Take a cartoon children's show about robots from another planet that can change into vehicles (yeah we all liked it, even though we were a little older) beef up the animation, get some high talent voices, give it a Heavy Metal soundtrack, actually kill some of the characters (yes, I said kill) and what have you got? Well it beats me but it works. This movie was a marketing ploy (as well as a big toy commercial) to change the guard of the Transformers characters. When I said earlier that they killed some of the characters, I mean some of the main characters. And not just power down type of deaths, these were deaths caused by war. This movie is violent in places, but not bloody. The implications of the Decepticons as they kill their do good Autobot enemies is down right classic. They kill without thought, and the Autobots defend and die without concern for themselves. They truly are heroes as much as the Decepticons are villains. The movie is simply about a large planet eating moon, voiced by Orson Wells (yes, THAT Orsen Wells). It is traversing the galaxy chomping everything that is getting in its way. Of course its heading straight for Cybertron, the Transformers home planet. In the middle of the Autobot/Decepticon War no less. The first battle that takes place on Earth is furious, having only to do with the war. When the Autobots learn of the Planet eater, they start for home immediately. They run into trouble along the way, keeping the action quota way up. The lead role, Hot Rod, voiced by Judd Nelson, is slick and skilled, but young and immature. Its obvious what's going to happen to him later (no he doesn't die). The lead Decepticon is voiced by Lenord Nimoy, joyfully overplaying the voice role of a bad guy, and he does it so well. In any case, there is plenty of action until the final showdown where the planet eater shows there's more to him then meets the eye (sorry, no pun intended). The movie starts to slip toward the last quarter, the animation declines a bit, as if they may have been running out of money. But overall, this movie is entertaining and a blast to watch. The DVD has almost no extra features but it's still worth the cost for upgraded sound and clearer picture quality then you would find on VHS.

Summary: Best American Animated Movie ever!!!
Review: I Wasn't much of a TF Fan although my Brother was and he showed me this movie and i loved it. It's based on the classic 80's program, and it is about a Menacing Robotic Planet named
" Unicron" ( Orson Welles) who plans on conquering the Universe but first he must destroy Cybertron, but is it up to the Autobots to stop this menacing foe. It's highly Entertaining and
full of Action that kicks and it's got a perfect Cast including Robert Stack, Leonard Nimoy, Weird Al Yankovic,Judd Nelson, Frank Welker, and eric Idle with a Cool and moving Soundtrack that will take you back to the 80's. Highly Recommended movie for all fans of Animation! Similar movies i would Suggest: Independence Day, The Matrix, The Fifth Element, Star Wars, The Dark Crystal and Saving Private Ryan.

Summary: Transformers at its best
Review: Now this is a great movie. Somehow they got Leonard Nimoy and Orson Wells to voice the main villians , which really gives this film credibility.They brought back all the old cast , with their excellent voice-overs. The plot is believable and well-written. The battles were excellent , with a lot of flashy action. The video quality is good (way better than my VHS copy), but is presented in full-frame , which is a dissapointment. This movie deserved to be in widescreen , it would have added so much. The sound I found was rather weak , which is a shame because some of the heavy-rock and pop that plays during the movie really fitted with the onscreen action. Bottom line , if you're a Transformers fanatic , pick this DVD up as soon as you can.

Summary: Memories
Review: Yes, this is one of those movies you can never forget about. Most of us that grew up in the 80's remember this movie. Truly, this is one that i don't regret buying. Now that it is a part of my dvd collection, i can enjoy it over and over again. It can now be enjoyed by the next generation of kids can enjoy it as much as we all did when it came out.
