The Best Movie Ever
Transformers: The Movie is one of the best movies ever created. Unlike the original first two seasons, the plot extesive and the characters are well developed. The movie brings a much more realistic tone to the series with the death of most of the original characters (even if it was another way for Hasbro to make a quick buck off new toys). What struck me as odd while watching the first two seasons was that none of the Transformers ever died, and the Autobots and Deceptecons are at war! Despite this, I do understand that the show had to be made acceptable for children's televison. The release of Transformers: The Movie benefitted the series tremendously, by increasing the animation and plot quality for the last two seasons as well as giving the series a darker tone fitting for war. While the movie is much darker than the first two seasons, it is a masterpiece of cartooning, music and plot, making it the best movie ever.
