 "I loved this movie"When I was a child, I would get up every morning and race to the tv and watch the epic story that was THE TRANSFORMERS. The happiest day of my life was when at the age of 8 I found out THE TRANSFORMERS was hitting the big screen. When I went to the theater that day, I laughed I cryed and I felt justified by the time I left. It is one of the most vivid memories I have. I hadn't watched it in 17 years untill the other day, and it still effected me, the memories, and the "Oh hell ya" feelings came rushing back. The story of this movie is one that holds together exceptionally, and is a must own for any TRANSFORMERS fan. The fact that Starscreem gets his kamuppins is more than enough of a reason to see it, and the epic final battle between Optimus and Megatron that ALL fans had been waiting for since 'MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE', is reason itself to buy it. The fact that Eric Idle,Orsen Wells, and Robert Stack signed on for this movie should be testament enough in the fact of not only is this a fantastic movie, but that THE TRANSFORMERS transended the relm of 22 min commercial to genuine hit. From the guilty pleasure that comes with listening to the cheesy 80's synthisised music, to the battles, and the vocal talent genious I only have this to say: If you don't have this movie BUY IT!, and if you do WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!  "Why NOT a widescreen version, spent THOUSANDS on HDTV? "What were the people @ Rhino thinking by not releasing the original widescreen version of the movie. Do they know that there are people out there with large sums of disposable income who have & will spend thousands on widescreen HDTVs in the very near future. I won't even rent a fullscreen movie, muchless buy one! Let me relive my childhood in widescreen you heartless bastards. And to those of you who don't like widescreen movies because of the black bars @ the top & bottom of your antiquated TV sets, it's time to upgrade. What can't afford a new TV, to damn bad! Till all are one! P.S. Stop making fullscreen DVD's ""Megatron must be Stopped No Matter the Cost.""That line alone upon seeing it as a young child I remember causeing my jaw to drop as Optimus transformed and began to hunt down Megatron. This movie could very well have set the bar for the future Transformer series but soon after this movie the series came to an end in the states. This in my eye's was the pinicle of Transformers in the state and by all rights could have been used as a means to close up the entire series with the death of the old leader and the rise of the new leader along with the ending scene declareing the end of the Cybertronian War. For its time this movie was great and I still enjoy poping this in every once and awhile cause I still grit my teeth at seeing things such as Beast Wars and Armada flashing the Transformer name on it. Generation I was the pinicle of this franchise and is where it honostly should have ended.  "Awful DVD"A lifetime TF fan of the original series, the movie was a classic, when I first saw it Agugust 9, 1986. I wish the new characters didn't have to be introduced by killing off the favorite characters. It was awful to see fire spewing out of Prowl's mouth, when he was killed. And Ironhide's head blown off by Megatron. I just saw the Kid Rhino DVD, and it was the sorriest way to bring a classic movie to DVD. The colors were too bright, and the animation was choppy. Besides the interview with the composer of the music, this DVD didn't have any features. It was just sloppily thrown together, just to get a DVD of the movie out there. I hope in the future, New Line (Who is filming the new Transformers movie) gets in touch with Marvel/Sunbow, and re-release the original film, complete with trailers from the original film, plus toy commercials, featuring the movie characters. This is one movie, Kid Rhino, should have never put their paws. This DVD sucked!!!! "untill all are one"what can i say about this its great from the voice acting to the epic battles even the cheesey music you cant help but sing along with an be real you know ya all sing the touch during the fights lol final words weather its for the flashback factor or your a tf junkie or wanna see good sci-fi get this transform and roll out |
