Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Transformers generation 1 is regarded as the best transformers series by fans, it is the one that started it all, but does it really hold up to today's standards? Here is a review of huge transformers fan who grew up with transformers animated, prime and beast wars, what I regard as the best 3 transformers cartoons. Transformers generation 1 was a 20-minute toy commercial, designed solely to sell toys. Granted every transformers series is designed to sell action figures, but the way they handled g1 is absolutely disgusting. Right from the very first episode you are introduced to about 20 autobots and 20 decepticons. All you know is that they crashed on earth to continue their long, long battle. There is barely any character development ( at least according to the first 30 episodes that I watched, and god I had an awful and painfully long time). The dialogue is absolutely ridiculous, and nothing really happens, the deceptions find a source of Energon on earth, they attack, the autobots defend, and so on and so forth. The plots make no sense and some of the characters decisions make absolutely NO SENSE!!. While I love the generation 1 designs, at least the posters and the fantastic master piece figures, the animation is horrible and rushed, that's because they wanted to air as many episodes as possible to sell as many toys as they can. I swear to god, and believe me, every time I woke up at night and I could not go back to sleep, I would watch a g1 episode, and I swear to god, it WORKS, I would sleep half way through. I highly recommend it to any one NOT BORN WITH THIS CARTOON as an alternative to sleeping pills. I was very excited to see what the fuss is all about, but even my little brother absolutely despises this garbage. Watch transformers prime, beast wars, or animated. Read the IDW comics, but for any new comer, stay away from this. I know that many will dislike this review, solely because I disagree with their opinion that is blinded but nostalgia goggles, but this is awful, one of the worst transformers incarnations that are over-hyped for no objective reason.

I was 11 when this show premiered in 84, I was hooked instantly after watching the first episode. This show caught me off guard as this was back before the internet and hearing word of new things sometimes took forever to get around. I started collecting the toys that year and remember seeing parents fighting over some of them at Lionel Playworld just before Christmas that year. I was growing out of toys by the next year but thought the Transformers was so cool I kept collecting them and had a huge collection by 2000.I go back and watch my DVD's of all the seasons about once a year and while they are a bit dated and come across a bit cheesy today they are still better then any cartoon on today. The were definitely made for kids and if you can watch them with kid eyes they are very enjoyable.The first season was lots of fun although it was short, the 2nd season was a lot thicker (more episodes) and was always great when they introduced new characters. The movie came out next and it ruined the franchise a little bit to me, I would of accepted the movie and the outcome in the movie a bit easier if they had run with the TV show a few more years with all the current characters before the drastic changes that happened. The 3rd season was not as good in my mind as all the new characters was overwhelming, the coolest thing about them was they took place away from Earth more and that I liked. All new worlds and more episodes on Cybertron. The 4th season was only 3 episodes but was a nice end to the franchise.I would of loved 4 seasons all with the original characters before the movie and all the changes they made but since it is what it is I can always go back and watch these episodes and still enjoy them.I would give season 1 & 2 a 10 out of 10 and season 3 & 4 I would give a 7 out of 10. I consider this the best cartoon ever made.

Transformers is one of my favorite cartoons of all time taking place in 1984-1986. It revolved around a great war between the Autobots and Decepticons. The Autobots (protagonists) were led by Optimus Prime. The Decepticons (antagonists) were led by the power hungry Megatron. At points I actually found myself very invested in the plot line such as when Optimus Prime Died and gave the matrix of leadership to Ultra Magnus, I had found myself shocked whenever Galvatron (Unicron empowered Megatron) had taken it from Ultra Magus in the movie only to Have it stolen By Hotshot who became Rodimus Prime. Sudden plot twists like this on the edge of your seat and you thought about what had happened until the next episode.

I love this series, it was a childhood favourite and I still am a fan of it. The animation is decent enough with the odd understandable inconsistency, with the robots wonderful to watch and the backgrounds and colours quite bold and fitting. The music is great, memorable while with an essence of complexity in some of the orchestration, the narrative is cool and does justice to some outstanding if simple story ideas. The writing is intelligent and humorous, in short enough to satisfy anybody who watches the show, and the characters are some of the memorable characters in a cartoon series for me, especially Megatron and Optimus Prime. This is helped hugely by a top notch vocal cast with Frank Welker and Peter Cullen born for their roles. All in all, an excellent cartoon that has something for everyone. 10/10 Bethany Cox
