Rating: 5.0
More Than Meets the Eye
[TO VOTE NEGATIVE IS TO SAY THAT YOU HATE TRANSFORMERS.]I've seen this movie since I was 9 years old. I've watched it ever since and I still love it. People say it's a rip-off of Star Wars. So what? So did Battlestar Galactica and Robotech (both EXCELLENT shows). Also the voice-acting is good; not the best in an animated movie (Toy Story would probably get that honor), but Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of Galvatron is awesome. Not only his, but Judd Nelson's (The Breakfast Club!!) portrayal of Hot Rod as well.The animation is top-notch, even by today's standards; the one-on-one battle of Optimus Prime and Megatron still is a marvel today. Out of the soundtrack, the best songs would probably be "The Touch" and "Dare" by Stan Bush and Weird Al Yankovic's "Dare to be Stupid", which ironically meshes well with the Junkions.I was shocked when it came out on DVD. My brother felt compelled to get and watch it again. You'll be amazed, it looks so much better (not to mention cleaner in appearance). Completely restored and digitally remastered (also with interesting storyboards in the extra features), all one can say is "THEY'RE BACK." More Than Meets The Eye.
