Rating: 5.0
A Review - More than Meets My Eyes!
Ok, first of all Transformers was definitely one of the good ole' USofA's great cartoons of the 1980's! Forget the stick figure farting cartoons of today's genre. How much have our children grown up without experiencing classic toons like this? It's been almost 10 years since I've seen good animation and this is definitely hitting the spot!Come on, who can forget Optimus Prime whooping the living *(&# outta Megatron? We all got up a 7 a.m. weekday mornings just to see the television premeire of this movie I'm sure when we were kids! On top of that, what other cartoons have spanned a legion of followers like Transformers has, eh? The figures were the best part and collecting them all became an obsession for many of us thanks to the brillance of the big screen premiere of this film.Matter of fact, I was amazed at the talented voices that made appearances for such characters as Ultra Magnus (Robert Stack). Whoda thunk it? Talk about an Unsolved Mystery. And then there's Leonard Nimoy as the voice of Galvatron. If I'm not mistaken, you can almost see some of Nimoy's own facial expressions drawn into his character!You're kids will thank you for it and you'll thank yourself too after you get this film. And for those adults who want a piece of nostalgia, the wait is well worth it. I've been searching for this long lost film for over 10 years. Yes 10 years! And believe me, even at age 19 I cried when Optimus . . . well, you'll have to buy the movie and find out, won'tcha?
