Welcome back, fellow movie goers!
I was fortunate enough to watch the first hour of this title early, re-watching that first hour and getting to watch the finale act was well worth the long wait to see how this movie ends.
The fact I enjoyed re-watching the first hour placed this solidly in my re-watch category of an 8/10. The ending is that good with a juicy end credit scene placed this at an 8.5/10 for me personally.
Going back before this month my battle with Transformers One was with Wild Robot. Without going off on a tangent I felt the ad campaigns for these movies worked in extremely opposite ways. The more Wild Robot revealed, the less I was interested. The more I saw of Transformers including the epic voice cast, I was very much intrigued.
Having been blessed to see that first hour I was hooked on what can come from this version of Transformers. I LOVED the first live-action but sadly that magic was lost on its sequels. This animated version of Transformers introduced some very fun and entertaining avenues for characters I’ve seen a dozen times before and throws in easter eggs and lore that I never knew before this origin story.
For those big into Transformers lore, does Transformers Two come after or is there a significance with Transformers One title? Love to know in the comments.
Quick shoutout to this feature’s music as I caught myself several times, jamming to its tunes and having a blast. A “Bad Ass A Tron” blast :D.
By the month’s end, I’ll also be adding a couple of scoring tabs to combine all the ratings for each categorized “Review” score if you’d be interested to see what else was rated at the same level as one another. This will be helpful for me later on, not only for reference but also for those interested in checking out another title in a list of my “Reviewed” movies of each year.
Thank you for taking the time to come on by Popped for your “Review” of Transformers One and I’ll be looking forward to returning with the next batch later next week.
Popped!
