Leave your thoughts about The Transformers: The Movie.
| StarburstAndrew PollardA breathtaking, brilliant, at times brutal, balls-to-the-wall animated movie that perfectly captures the fist-pumping adrenalin and heart of its time. |
| Examiner.comChris SawinThe Transformers: The Movie has never looked or sounded better (referring to the 30th anniversary edition) and the new bonus features are captivating and amusing. Now if we could just get a similar treatment for G.I. Joe: The Movie... |
| Brooklyn MagazineHenry StewartBy far the best toy commercial ever made. |
| DVD ClinicScott WeinbergIt's good mindless fun, and a flick that no doubt holds a lot of Nostalgia Value for several members of my generation's sci-fi geeks. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinAs an '80s curio and perhaps the only film to feature the voices of both Welles and That Guy From The Micro Machines Ad Who Talks Real Fast, it possesses a kitschy, low-budget charm. |
| Time OutBen WaltersThe film actually unfolds in a reasonably engaging manner; one dramatically sophisticated sequence contrasting the goodies’ and baddies’ responses to their leaders’ respective demises stands out. The anime-inflected look is generally impressive too, although the power-rock soundtrack is unsalvageable. |
| Film4Richard LuckFar from a cheap spin-off, The Transformers: The Movie is an entertaining feature-length animation that's both handsome and well realised. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasHas cult status now but the plot is fiendishly complicated. |
| New York TimesCaryn JamesThese robots transform in a flash; the colors are shocking pinks and electric greens; the film is packed with one-to-one combat, large-scale battles and exploding planets. Despite these improvements, though, the movie is not for anyone too grown-up. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonA joyless jumble, this box office dud is almost as wretched as the Michael Bay live-action twofer Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon. |
