Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 5.0
Best Movie Ever
Transformers : The Movie is one of the best ever made, cartoon or live action. It is unarguably the best American animated films, and still excellent compared to Japanese anime. It didn't come out during the G2 stuff, it came out in 1986, during the height of the shows popularity. I saw it when I was six years old, and it was just as much the bomb then as it is now. It was the second in Hasbro's triple launch of movie releases, and its failure at the box-office made them decide not to release GI Joe to the movies. Anyway, that doesn't matter, because critics are stupid and American audiences almost always reject non-Disney type cartoons. This movie is a great epic with an all-star cast of voices, great animation, and a great plot that anyone can appreciate. If you like TF at all, or sci-fi, or cartoons, you should get this. Although the cartoon was also excellent, the movie is the best part of the entire Transformers franchise. People die, they curse occasionaly, the fights are great, Vince DiCola's score is great, the metal soundtrack is cool and represenative of the 80's. All together, its the greatest film ever made.
