GO AND SEE THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW! ONE OF THE BEST FILMS OF THIS YEAR! THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!
Like many people, I thought this movie was going to be an absolute joke based off of the first trailer. But boy was I wrong! I went to see this movie last weekend and I am still recovering from this phenomenal piece of cinema. Everything is superb about this movie, from the action, music, visuals, and MY GOD THE COMPELLING STORY. The transformation of Orion Pax to Optimus Prime and D-16 to Megatron is perfect, and I really think the trailers should have focused on that more as the primary marketing tactic for promoting this movie. I also loved the little references and details in the movie (for example the change in Megatron's eyes from yellow to orange to red, signifying his turn). AND MAN THAT FINAL SCENE WHERE MEGATRON RIPS SENTINEL IN HALF, AND WHEN HE STEALS Megatronous Prime's cog and declares himself as Megatron... that scene brought chills to my spine, AND THE SAME THING goes for when Orion gets the Matrix of Leadership and is dubbed Optimus Prime by Alpha Trion and Primus. Overall:
ACTION: 5/5
STORY: 4.5/5 (I do wish they made Megatron's story SLIGHTELY LONGER but I still think it is phenomenal)
MUSIC: 5/5
COMEDY: 4/5 (Some of Bee's jokes were okay but the comedy was ehh)
OVERALL RATING: 4.5/5
(I know my review has 5 stars but there was no 4.5 star setting so xD)
I have not seen a single Transformers movie my whole life, and for 19 years I have only been slightly exposed to the franchise (watched a little bit of Transformers Prime when I was younger), so Transformers: One was my first true exposure to the Transformers franchise. By all means, if you are a new fan or an old fan, GO AND SEE THIS MOVIE! IT WILL CHANGE YOU!!
