Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 4.0
This is a must own for Transformer's fans!
There are lots of good things and a couple of bad things about the Transformers - The Movie. First the bad... Throughout many of the action sequences the music is overpowering instead of flowing with the action scenes. Its actually annoying. Its fill in music that should have been replaced with background music as it was done in the TV Series on which this movie is based. My only other problem was some missing characters that I would have like to see such as the Aerialbots, the Protectobots, the Combaticons, and The Stunticons.Ok...that was the bad...Now the Good.The animation is first class, it rivals Japanese Anime...yes it is that good. The story is very good. It contains a ton of action, and some drama but doesnt slow down once during its 90 minutes.You will see the demise of some of your favorite Autobot/ Decepticon characters, but you will have to watch and see which ones. There are big name actors doing voices for many of the characters. New enemies are introduced (if you thought Megatron was bad, you haven't seen anything yet! ) which play a hand in the future episodes of the series.If you plan to buy any of the volumes or 3 episode sets that are currently on sale, you need to buy this first. Those episodes are not in Chronological order, and skip around between old and newer episodes where the characters are completely different. You will be very confused without seeing this movie. This movie will answer many questions that you will have such as where did Galvatron and Rodimus Prime come from, and also where some of your favorite characters disappeared to!Bottomline this is a must own for Transformer fans! Highly Recommended!
