Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 4.0
More than meets the eye, baby!
Today, my best friend Mike brought over Transformers: The Movie. I was excited to see it since I watched the cartoon when I was a kid, and had two action figures of my own. They were Decepticons (I had the original Megatron, but every time I wanted an Autobot, toy stores were always sold out). The whole movie has an 80s look and feel about it. The animation shows its age and the soundtrack is totally power rock 80s (Not that I'm complaining). The storyline was interesting enough to hold my interest, and I liked the one-liners in the movie. This one really took me back to my simplier childhood. The times of when you could come home after school and watch Heathcliff, Inspector Gadget, or Transformers. I really liked the time warp back to the 80s that this film gave. Eric Idle's character was extremely funny as well. The ending was somewhat of a letdown though. I wanted to see more, but I was satisfied with what I watched. A nice rainy day flick.
