Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 5.0
COME ON...U NEED TO READ REVIEWS? THIS MOVIE IS INCREDIBLE!
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)
