    Boring, long, and too preachy.

    I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

    It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

    A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

    Another cartoon show I've watched when I was a little kid. I don't remember too much from it, but did remember it to be very entertaining and adventurous.There are plenty of good guy vs. bad guy action as the Autobots and the Decepticons continue their Cybertronian War on Earth; the Decepticons want to strip Earth of its vast energy resources and the Autobots seek to protect the Earth's people.Endless battles of transforming machines and creatures - pretty good excitement for any kid and definitely a memorable 1980s show that spawned several motion pictures well into the 2000s. And, who could forget the robotic-sounding catchphrase: "Transformers, robot in disguise." Grade B

    Many cartoons inspired in toy-lines where made in the eighties, but not many of them resisted the test of time.The original "Trasformers" cartoon is one of those shows, that despite all the flaws that could have (It was, after all, a product of its time) was highly entertaining and had an interesting cast of characters, which were the most appealing element of this franchise, and made it survive among the decades.The backlash caused by the death of several characters done in the movie just serves to show how the viewers were attached to them: In that way, "Transformed" proved to be more than a simple cartoon done to promote a toy line. It had created (Probably in a unintentional way) several iconic characters, that were not only easily recognizable, but also have many likable traits that made this show to win the appreciation of the viewers. That's the main reason why new cartoon series based in the "Transformers" (Each one of them with different quality and entertainment value) are still being made until this day.The spirit of the story and the characters remains among the different decades, because it was very appealing, with many potential to exploit. Some of the animations that came later gave this a more mature approach, such as "Beast Machines" or "Transformers Prime", while others gave the same story a more lighthearted approach (such as the animated series done in the year 2007) but all those shows always tried to achieve the same essence of the original, because that was the key of the success of this franchise. Some of those series were good, others bad (And others were very, very bad) but the original one will be always my favorite, the one that started all my love and interest for this franchise.

    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.
