Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 3.0
Most Violent and Disturbing Movie I have ever seen.
I wouldn't give this movie such a low rating if it wasn't so gory and violent and disturbing.The animation in this movie is breathtaking, but the storyline is too literally dead serious for small little kids. A small little kid could have all sorts of mental scarring from this movie, to see almost all of their childhood hereos die off and literally get blown away in about the first 20 minutes of the movie.I kid you not, this is no movie for small kids. This is gory, violent, brutal, and disturbing animation here.GI*JOE the movie, which came out at the sametime this did, was not like this at all. GI*JOE the movie = Weird as everything, yes. Disturbing and gory, no. If you are going to buy a good cartoon movie for small kids, go with GI*JOE the movie instead. At least that movie will not give kids possible mental damage or emotional scars. In GI*JOE the movie, other than Cobra Commander and Falcon, no one dies, but that movie is beyond weird. Very confusing storyline there. I don't know which one is more weird: Tron, 2001 Space Oddessy, or GI*JOE the movie?In "The Death of the Transformers" that it should have been called: 3/4ths of all Autobots die off in this movie in many very violent ways.Don't except hardly any Autobots living through this movie, not even Optimus Prime himself.The Decepticons are the heroes in this movie. Hardly any Decepticons die in this movie at all.Yeah, the soundtrack has some really good Power Metal on it, and that right there is worth the price of the DVD just to listen to the music if not for anything else.This movie should have been named "The Death of the Transformers" instead.So the whole point is: If you want to watch almost all your childhood heroes die off in very disturbing and gory ways, then buy this movie. (But at least the soundtrack was really good).If you don't, stay far away from this movie.
