Transformers One is a great watch for longtime fans. Though the franchise’s box office success in this century has been predicated on noisy live action with a CGI assist, this exciting and fun-filled film returns the Transformers to their animated roots.

One of the aspects that makes this an unexpectedly satisfying piece of storytelling (aside from the obvious improvements in the joke quality) is the way that the film digs into the structure of Autobot society.

i genuinely loved this movie! As someone who usually does not even watch movies/ tv shows to completion, i really really loved this movie alot. Character building was great, world and design was just phenomenal and this has been a franchise that DESERVES a good movie for awhile now. Even the gripes i thought i would have, with Megatron's dark side turn being too quick, i actually found that quite easy to relate to and understand and this is just a tightly knit well made movie. 10

This deserved far more love than it got. I don't know who was on the marketing team, but those people made me doubt this movie, and I was wrong. This was great, and I wish it got the respect it deserved, at least 100 TIMES MORE!!!

It’s not hard to imagine “Transformers One” connecting with preteens whose pubescent bodies can be as unwieldy as Orion’s first, clumsy transformation, with wheels where he expects legs and arms where he expects wheels.

If anything, the rarity of a franchise film that seems principally concerned with appealing to a new generation is more in line with the legacy of the original series than any film that has come since.

Breezy, comically self-referential and totally likable. But its charms nevertheless feel like they came off an assembly line – one that has been engineered to deliver Marvel-like results, in animated form of course.

It proves that this mechanized world and its inhabitants are better suited to cartoon form than the headache-inducing Michael Bay movies, but it’s ultimately another piece of elaborate fan service that will bore the uninitiated.

The saddest thing about “Transformers One” is the wastefulness of another dull outing in a universe geared toward kids just learning to transform themselves.

I will be going against the grain here. There is nothing remotely interesting about this prequel in term of storyline and character design. Mind you that this franchise was made to sell toys, and cool robot designs are a must. This flick does not have that. A big dissapointment for me.

Transformers One: A real Review (not pushed or bought by big companies)It's a story that tells the origin of the Transformers in the MOST CHILDISH way.Based on familiar technology (from the 90's) that has nothing to do with Robotronics from another planet, or alien technology.About the actual content of the movie: dumb as hell. The classic characters turned out to be miners in what seems to be a society (when society can only be human), where workers and kings have emotions, feelings, human attractions, it's the main story. (yes, that dumb)About the dialogues: the simplest possible, so that the youngest children at home can relate.Just imagine a mix of Gladiator (the movie) changed with the most childish dialogues possible, which obviously have childish robotic looking characters (so that only a child can find it attractive)Maybe the creators saw it as a good idea to have big box office characters doing the dubbing, but the content of the movie spoils it.There is no useful element in the movie.There is no inspiring or attractive **** use of technology for transformations is NULLPaying to see this movie is a WASTE.Watch Transformers 1984 again, it is ENTIRELY worth it.

Plastic toy ad crap. The only Transformers movie I haven’t hated is Bumblebee, this is no exception.
