Transformers: The Movie [1986] (2 DVDs) Reviews

In its day Transformers was the biggest cartoon!Children simply fell in love with it. Today those childen have grown up and now both children and adults alike love it! I think a movie with the guts to kill off a main character within the first 10 minutes deserves some credit. It also introduces a new main character in the form of rodius prime who ...

This film will sit in the hearts of 80s and 90s kids for years to come. It combines everything you need for a cartoon series made into a movie, including the important characters, an easy to follow plot, and a super-cheesy soundtrack. The plot is set in 2005. Bearing in mind the film was made in 1986, this is quite futuristic. Autobots ...

Transformers - The Movie is the first film my befuddled memory recalls seeing at the cinema. At the tender age of six I remember the excitement of its release. It was greeted with the same furore as Power Rangers was and is probably one of the first children's films and animated series that was devised with marketing in mind. Over ...

This review is about The Transformers: The Movie, I will give information about everything about Transformers the Movie, and hopefully some background on the episodes so you know the movie better. So here I go, about to start the review... The Transformers, are these robots that can transform into a vehicle, there are 2 different races, ...

You can forget all other animations. past, and present, this IS the greatest animated movie EVER! So what, if critics back then frowned upon it, this movie was made for the fans, not so critics would be dancing on tables becauses of it's brilliance. But brilliant it is, with superb animation, a gripping storyline, and a great soundtrack thrown ...

Ahh, the 80s. What a time to be a kid. Back then growing up, my life consisted of all the wonderful things life had to offer. From playing countless hours on my Atari 2600 to watching Transformers (not this Beast Wars crap either) on TV every chance I could, things ...

When I saw that this DVD was commercially available, I nearly dropped my Optimus Prime. I remember this as being one of the best movies - if not THE best - of my childhood. I was an avid Transformers fan as a kid - I had loads of the toys, most of the comics, all the annuals - you name it. Ten years later (I'm 20 now - there, saved ...

This movie is AWSOME. featuring the voice talents of Leonard Nimoy, Eric Idle, Orson Welles and MORE - Advantages: Transformers, Best Production Value ever, Host of stars - Disadvantages: none

This was the movie based on the hit cartoon back in the 80's THE TRANSFORMERS. The story is about the 2 groups of warring robots AUTOBOTS (GOOD GUYS) AND THE DECPTICONS (EVIL) but as we learn at the start of the movie there is a bigger more deadly force and its on it's way to cybertron (home planet of the autobots) ...

If you want to relive your childhood memorys over and over again then i recomend that you buy TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE when i first got this in summer i was hyper as i had not saw it for a good long time and what fun it was to watch as soon as it started i could rember everything that was going to happen. the music score was ...

Wow! I saw loads of excellent opinions when I was amazed to see an entry for one of my favourite animated films ever! I love this film. It's pure entertainment, from the early battles to the death of Optimus (sob). The film starts off with the battle everyone waits for - Optimus Prime vs Megatron. Both are reduced to a ...

This movie is based in the Transformers universe. Basically, you have 2 warring factions of robots, who can transform into other objects/vehicles. Leading the good-guys, you have Optimus Prime, is faction called the "Autobots". Leading the bad-guys, you have Megatron - his gang is called the "Decepticons". The opening ...

Transformers, the best toy of the 1980's and the best cartoon series of that decade and a series that I loved as a child. You remember the Transformers?? Cars and tanks and all sorts of gadgets that changed into good robots (Autobots) and baddy robots (Decepticons). Well, such a hit was the cartoon and toy market that they decided to ...

The transformers movie is an animated film but it's not just a cartoon it is such an amazing film, it should be up there with star wars and the matrix and i don't believe that any modern day animated adventures can ever out do transformers the movie, not even Titan AE. The movie begins with the evil decepticons taking control of ...

I think that this film is an all time great! I also think it was well ahead of its time because of the themes seen in it. The very controversial line " Oh sh** what are we gonna' do now?" rocked the world of cartoon lovers and moved us into a new generation of cartoons. The film is based around moving the original series ...

This is officially the best cartoon movie in the history of people putting animations on the silver screen. The transition of, in my opinion the best cartoon ever, to a movie format has created a masterpiece that is watchable again and again! The plot starts with the Decepticons hijacking an Autobot ship on its way back to Earth from one ...

I consider TRANSFORMERS to be a sad film on two counts: 1). It features the voice of Orson Welles. Yes, that's right, the genius behind such films as CITIZEN KANE, TOUCH OF EVIL and THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS wore out his final days recording a voiceover for a film which was....... 2). A piece of marketing for another product, ...

Transformers The Movie's video billing as "The ultimate animated motion picture" might be as realistic as a twenty-foot tall robot turning into a pistol, but I still love it. (Be warned... my opinion, heavily dosed with nostalgia, is probably useless for people new to the 'robots in disguise'.) The story is as good ...

When you're a kid you have a new favourite movie every other week. One week you like Arnie, the next some poor quality slap stick comedy. And one week, the chances are you liked this... Following on from the TV show, it tells of the continuing civil war of the nativs of Cybertron. Having spilt over to earth in the TV show, the ...

I wrote a message to Ed the head of Films just to get this film added and told him loads of people would review it, he told me he'd added it but that he didn't believe many people would. This film is about the good Autobots and the evil Decepticons, The Autobots want to return home to the planet Cybertron but to do this they will ...
