Transformers: An Old Classic Re-visited
If you were a child in the 1980s, chances are you heard of Transformers, if not a fan of them. Who wasn't? One of the largest toylines, best animated cartoon series, not to mention one of the best cartoon-made-to-movie series out there.In 1986, the movie was seen as a "long toy-commercial." In 1999 and 2000, because of incidents dealing with school shootings and so forth, it is still seen as a "violent 18 and older" movie.If review critics got off their high horses to actually look at what makes a movie a movie(storyline, character development, etc), you'll see that Transformers: The Movie has it all. From Hot Rod 'growing up' to the death of Optimus Prime, it touches everyone in some way. The weak points? Too many new characters introduced without development on some. And I guess the death of 15 or so characters can be thrown into that pile too.Overall, a great animated movie to relive your childhood. If rumor holds true, we may see an updated CGI movie of the Transformers(yes, the 1980 Transformers), soon!
