Transformers One is very much the best transformers movie (as of 2024, who knows they might make even more bangers) and I will die on that hill.
Not only does the animation stand out in a beautiful way, the very idea of a transformers origin movie is just pure genius. with all the lore that the franchise has, its a great idea to simplify it and tell it in a way that makes sense to the audience. This movie is great for Transformers fans, new and old. There's a ton of great references, amazing action sequences, and a good lesson on how corruption can affect others.
I know a lot of people try to avoid this movie for the comedy, but with context, a lot of the goofy scenes are actually funny, especially in the theater. Definitely recommend seeing it in theaters before its too late, because man does this deserve WAY better in the box office.
also IGN lied to you 'cause there is literally no way they watched the same movie me and thousands of others did. and another thing, for those who don't know, this movie takes place in its OWN continuity. Not the bayverse, not the Knight/Capleverse. its OWN thing.
and to all of the people who clicked one star, y'all just some haters fr
