Though it introduced a bunch of robots (Rodimus Prime=lame) and killed off a TON of children's favorites...I still love this classic movie.

Not too bad but only for real 'obsessed' fans

Overall, I like this movie. It's nostalgic and also features huge space robots that turn into things.

Overall, I like this movie. It's nostalgic and also features huge space robots that turn into things.

Wow, why is this a kid's movie? I mean, I understand the reasoning: a 2-hour movie designed to make kids pay for a movie ticket, and then they'll be so hyped they'll go out and buy all the film's toys.

It's just, some scenes are not for kids. One scene has bad-guy Megatron standing over a mortally-wounded good-guy and shoots him dead, execution-style. He'll later go on to gloat about murder and violence. That's not right..

IMO, there are 3 major problems: there are way too many characters to keep track of, the plot seems loopy, and I hate the characters that are especially annoying like human child or robo-fast-talk or Dennis-the-robot. Oh, and the main protagonist: he's painted hot fuschia, orange, and yellow; the 3 most horrible colors visible to man. (Hell is painted similiarly.)

I know everyone raves about the soundtrack, but I don't like most of the songs; they're too upbeat. The songs without words are cool, but the ones with lyrics aren't. The only song I really like is the theme, because it's got a wicked guitar solo.

The animation is alrite. It looks like the TV series. My main complaint is at the end when everything starts flashing green.

Anyway, this movie is chalk full of ideas from other movies: Marty McFly's hoverboard. Star War's Death Star, Princess Leia's hair, Luke Skywalker-archetype, Palpatine's pink lightsabre. Star Trek's Leonard Nimoy, starship bridge-seperation, Klingon Bird of Prey. Austrailian trash-collectors from Mad Max. Oh; and everyone in the future will dress like Travolta from Saturday Night Fever or Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.

I don't understand how this movie ends happily; a good portion of the good guys are killed; both old and new, 2 moons are destroyed, and only 2 bad guys die. Not to mention there's an entire planet full of bad guys versus the 8 survivors from team good guy who seem to think the war is over.

Anyways, I'd recommend this movie for adult geeks or kids.

Need i say more 5 stars

A good show makes a great movie. Doing a few things that the show never did, namely have real death and a little naughty language, besides, how many movies can say they had a kid lock himself in a closet because of the loss of a character in a movie?

Transformers The Movie has to be one of my favorite animated movie. I really like all the action in this film with good story. I just wish that they didn't kill of Optimus Prime and some other characters that I like. I also reallly enjoy the music. My favorite part would be the final battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. It's a must have movie for all Transformers fans.

This is the first time I saw the old transformers. And I thought that this movie was literally a tv show of 3 episodes. The movie was good, but I had seen this story a million times in tv. But this movie is good to see though! Cant wait to see...

A classic cartoon/anime movie. I'm sure it will be a lot better than the movie coming out this summer. The animation was great, the voice action was also great, and Weird Al doing one of the songs. Many great characters kicked the bucket, and introduced many new ones. A truly great movie.
