This is an easy grade. Five stars. If it was out of 10, then it would be 10 out of 10. 100% regardless of grading format. This is without a doubt my favoirite animated movie so far.In a decade where most theatrical animated movies were geared towards preschoolers or young girls, this was ours. This was for us. Giant transforming robots fighting a war of pride and survival. Thunderous rock music and unforgettable characters and voices. Critics which blasted it and showed nothing but dislike. But who cares about them! Did the writers have THEM in mind when they created this? Nope, they had us in mind, even if it was just to sell us more toys. But it didn't matter to me. I loved the Transformers figures. The more they made, the better.Well enough rambling. The movie is a work of art. There has yet to be a cartoon for guys that defeats it. The animation is incredible. I read some review that claimed it as "flat". HUH! One look at the opening hand-drawn unicron scene puts that to rest! The artwork is great, the animation is great, and the character designs are unforgettable.The storyline is fantasic, especially for the young little boy versions of us. This is the only animated film that can be recited from beginning to end by so many former cartoon fans. The lines are not forgettable. You watch it. You remember it forever.Hopefully the DVD will be WIDESCREEN and not fullscreen like it's rumored. I think many of us will be disappointed.
