Ehhh. I don't like changing them into friends we saw they weren't in the cartoon but I'm old lmao so half the people haven't even seen the original series so it was good for what it was
Funny thing i just realised with that scene is more parallels/mirroring of the two "I! Am! MEGATRON!" AND "ARISE!... Optimus Prime" Calm calm SHOUTING and SHOUTING calm calm
I was never a huge Transformers fan until I saw Bumblebee & Rise of the Beast this year. I liked those two movies enough to give Transformers One a chance and I'm glad I did because I love this movie.
This movie is honestly one of the best Transformers movie I’ve seen and it’s a shame the marketing and trailers didn’t do this movie justice. I’m HOPING this movie can get a sequel!
I loved this movie. Your assessment about the trailer and the love for the opening sequence of Bumblebee and THIS, HELL YEAH! GO see it if yo haven't already!
Glad you're spreading the word about the film that really deserves it's own franchise. It took 17 years to have a Transformers film that's focused on the Transformers, finally.
I'm glad to see you bring some attention to this movie. It really does deserve it. Is there any chance you want to talk about this with Lindsay Ellis like you did the other movies?
My girlfriend has never been into transformers. She’s on board after this. It’s a shame this movie didn’t do that well in the box office but this was an amazing movie best I’ve seen since bumblebee. Can’t wait for more
For an animation studio that never really handled many theatrical releases in recent years (Paramount animation), the animation IS groundbreaking! The textures, coloring, lighting and everything is top notch. This film had great art direction behind it, and ILM is the goat for animating transformers be it live action or animated. It pretty much broke into the Disney/dreamworks hegemony of animation quality
This movie was so good, I absolutely loved it! It was everything I wanted out of a TF movie, and I'm so glad the humor was toned down. In the latter half as we see Megatron starting to turn, I'm glad they let certain moments simmer, rather than having Bee chime in. I hope it does well on streaming, since I so desperately want a sequel!
I’m an old guy that grew up wanting to be a transformer. I was very skeptical because of this comedic trailer, but they did a great job. They honored the source material more than I thought they would. It was better than all the Bay movies put together.
I loved this movie so much! Some of the celebs felt like it could have been anyone in their role, but if Chris Hemsworth and ESPECIALLY Brian Tyree Henry, decided they were willing to voice Optimus and Megatron in a new Transformers animated series, I would not at all be upset about it.
THANK YOU for not doing spoilers! Some of us take weeks if not months to get aroudn to seeing a movie, and I have to avoid any rekated UA-cam channels to avoid spoilers every time! Thank you for being considerate!
Starscream: How do you do, fellow Autobots? No G.I. Joe in the Hasbro logo either. Maybe when the Transformers/Joe crossover movie comes out, they'll make it in
I never grew up having an interest in the franchise or seen any of the shows. The only movies I watched were Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts, which I enjoyed. But after seeing this film in theaters, I loved it so much that it got me curious in everything! I'm already in the middle of season 2 of TF Prime lol
The similarities in shots and composition where Primus brings in Orion Pax and reincarnates him at Optimus mirroring the shots from '85 Transformers movie where Unicron pulls in Megatron to reincarnate him as Galvatron was just *chef's kiss*.
I saw this movie three times in its opening weekend, and for me personally, it's easily my favorite movie of the year. I also bought the original complete animated series on DVD shortly after.
I loved this movie! I need to see it again soon. They did so many things right. This is the kind of Transformers movie I have always dreamed of. However I agree with you that Power Rangers should be in the hasbro logo. They should improve that. The logo definitely could have been done better. the movie itself is a total banger though.
Haven't even hit play yet, the title alone gets a HARD AGREE! This film was to Transformers what Spider-verse was to comic movies, leagues above so much that came before it's almost a joke.
I got back into the franchise at the right time frame. I was giving myself a TF marathon for the past few months and with that said, this movie reminded me why I enjoyed Transformers to begin with. I absolutely LOVE this movie. It deserved so much better. But, Paramount has stated that they are keeping an eye on the DVD sales to sees if it truly peeks more interest in a sequel, which hopefully it does because it deserves it. Also, about the score… Brian Tyler, the main composer, also worked on Transformers Prime. I was fangirling to myself in theaters from hearing certain musical elements that were incredibly reminiscent to the series. That alone was a treat to the ears. ❤
Thank you for keeping it a spoiler-free video. I was planning on seeing it opening weekend, but the show times weren't the best for me, and I didn't have enough free time to go to the movies afterwards. I'm really looking forward to finally seeing this on Paramount Plus as a Transformers newbie myself! God bless!
There’s 3 Things I have to clarify, 1. I’m ok with the Quintessons not showing up, I’m aware how much of a Threat they are but the whole point of this Movie is how Optimus Prime and Megatron began the Formation of the Autobots and Decepticons, IF the Quintessons had appeared more often it would ruin the Film and we won’t get any Sentinel Screen Time, 2. Elita wasn’t the one that had the Idea of using Arachnid to Expose Sentinel, It was Orion who did a Quick Thinking when Arachnid said “I can see Everything” showing how Clever Pax is with his Sharp Edge and Mind, and 3. Bee was done good enough, I get that the Character didn’t evolve but Bee has done Well Enough, his presence is literally the Beginning to Pax and D16’s Journey to who they are destined to become as it was a Red Flag when they found out that there’s 50 Sub Levels instead of 40, his Creation Steve has the Map, and while I thought he was going to ruin the Movie with the Comic Relief I’m surprised there’s Layers of Humanity especially when Sentinel captures him and Dee and Dee stood up when Bee didn’t want him to stand up because he doesn’t want to see his Friends Hurt, like the Quintessons I’m pretty sure Bee will Develop especially when he losses his Voice in the War, anyway this Movie was amazing, not only is it one of the Best Movies of 2024, but it’s clearly the Best Transformers Movie of all Time, the Voice Casting was Great, the Story with the Evolution of Optimus Prime and Megatron is Interesting and Heartbreaking, Sentinel Prime is one of the Best Modern Villains in a Long Time that he’s definitely giving Homelander Vibes, and the Animation and Setup are Flawless, 10 out of 10, I’m hoping this gets a Trilogy because it deserves it and I would love to see more content from this and the Franchise.
I love what they did with D-16's eyes as he begins to descend into Megatron. I seriously hope this gains new life on streaming so they continue with this story.
0:55 perfectly said, the beginning of Bumblebee and Transformers One, that’s what the movies need to be. If it can be done in live action ok cool, if not ok cool lol
I saw the trailer and I was like “looks like it’s gonna be fun for kids” watched it last night. As a long time Transformers movie, this movie blew me away.
I rewatch it this morning, and this is the best TF movie since 07 and Bumblebee. I was born in the 90s so I didn't see the 86 movie till like 2009 or 2010.
I remember going to an advanced screening. I wanted to watch it in the city(Sydney) but there were massive train delays and I ended taking a detour to Chatswood. 2 hours Pymble to Hornsby. Hornsby to Epping. Epping to Chatswood. I caught the last session of the night. And I wasn't in the right mood. I found it alright. Then I read the reviews, a lot of people seemed to like it... except for IGN. I figured did I miss something. I decided to give it a second go. Only this time in IMAX. Sydney had a new one for a while. OMG. I was blown away. THE BIG SCREEN, THE SOUND. THE RECLINERS! This was how it was meant to be watched. And there was an audience, 2 families, and some adults who looked like tf fabs with their optimus and megatron shirts, unlike the advance screening where there were like 5 people. It was a much better experience. I got to enjoy certain scenes more, ones that I overlooked before. I feel like buying it for my digital collection this week.
Such a great film! Bryan Tyler, who did the score for this movie, also did the score for the Transformers Prime animated series. He even incorporates motifs from the Transformers Prime theme into certain parts of the Transformers One score!
Watched it twice in theaters. The second time, I brought my wife (pretty sure she was humoring me as a birthday gift), but she left the theater absolutely loving this movie and surprised at how much she did. 😊 . . . Now I just need my theatrical Bionicle movie.
Just got back from seeing it in cinemas, and yes, it lived up to the hype. Seeing the relationships between the characters grow and change as it goes along, it all felt natural, even if you know what’s coming. If it’s still in cinemas in your area, go see it if you get the chance. Otherwise, definitely give it a watch when it hits the digital platforms
It was a solid flick. I grew up on G1 and while One abbreviated a few major things from the TR multiverse of stories, it was fun in a way the Bayverse films never were. My 2 major complaints: 1) Alita-1 started off as Ariel and then got reformatted just like Pax in lore so I would have loved to see her get a glow-up, too. 2) The Hero(TM) being voiced by blonde-over-blue white dude while The Villain(TM) was voiced by an amazing talented black actor. You can fill in the subtext there. And then there is Jon Hamm at his Jon Hammiest.
You do realize and understand, Andre, that the guy who did the movie score, Brian Tyler, did the same soundtrack for Transformers Prime, and the other movies like Rambo IV, and the Dune Trilogy Miniseries.
Already saw it in the first week and regret not seeing it again or the fan event. But I love it and wish marketing did a better job not making it too comedic
The composer also did the score for Transformers Prime, even referencing that OST in one of this movie's tracks. Another track in this film during a major third act moment references an iconic moment during the old 80s movie. And not it is not The Touch, it's the OTHER iconic Optimus scene from that film, y'know the scene if you've watched TFTM. Traumatised an entire generation
I keep compulsively saying “I’m done saving you” cause that moment still shakes me. I went in blind and it’s a prefect example of the hero’s journey. I’m not even a transformers fan
Andre Have You Seen The Lost 1987 Hanna Barbera movie Rock Odyssey It was uploaded on Dailymotion months ago and I loved that movie my favorite part was when Wham's Wake Me Up Before You Gogo played during a montage with Yogi Bear, The Chattanooga Cats, George Jetson, Fred Flintstone, Top Cat and Benny The Ball
I was able to see this film in theaters and had a lot of fun. The voice acting was fantastic across the board especially from Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry as Orion Pax and D-16, respectively.
This movie made me a fan. I've seen 4 of the bay movies and bumblebee. But I never felt the need to get into the franchise. This got me so intrigued into the lore and I need to know more.
Not gonna lie I had no intention of ever seeing this movie but your review has me intrigued, and the lack of humans (the worst aspect of the Bayformers dynasty) has me even more intrigued, so I might catch it streaming.
i went into this movie only seeing the negative opinions months ago and not watching any trailers and i’m so impressed, really hoping they make more movies like this.
They absolutely flopped with promotional material for this movie, it's totally misleading, and way too "dumbed-down" for what the movie is actually about, just hoping all the traffic it's receiving right now will rectify that and help it get a sequel, heck even launch a saga
Steve B: yyyyeeeaaaahhhh! I loved it too. This is indeed the TF movie i have always wanted. I *never* needed humans (tho, I love Bumble Bee). I saw it twice. I helped me clarify, and enjoy the TF lore.
I walked into this film knowing very little of it except from the trailer I saw. I walked out highly surprised with how deep of the re-introduction of the whole lore of the franchise it went into into the first half hour. Bravoooo Team, I highly enjoyed the humour in all of it between working class, class of cars etc as well very well written. Goood special effects as well as a steady pace. The team understood this assignment extremely well and is wanting more stuff like this. I also personally felt this would be a real good introduction to the franchise-re-introduction into the series as well.
I loved this movie and I was a teenager when transformers the movie came out in theaters in the mid 1980s and transformers one was just as good and I totally agree with Andre the start of bumblebee as full length movie and this .
Movie was REAL fun Relatively face paced, lots to explore, REAL Pretty Sights, References everywhere... But there are a few story things in it that made me go "Oh, they're changing that... I Liked the other one better" But they also kinda Referenced those things... Like the Fact that Orion Pax isn't an Archivist here, or a Security Bot... Obviously the best version is the one where he was an Archivist, which I think was Introduced in Transformers: Prime, and it's from studying the History of transformers that he found a way to become Optimus Prime. But it's at least Referenced with him being IN the Archives in the first Scene and them more or less telling us that he's been there before... Tied to that, Megatron's origin as a Gladiatorial Fighter who fought his way to becoming a Folk Hero against the Oppression of Either Quintessans or the Upper class of Transformers (Based on what Vehicle Mode they were born with), but who eventually let himself get corrupted by his Rage... There's hints of that here, with his Rage building in a Similar way after he learns things, but it's not as epic as "Centuries of Fighting in the Pits till he fought his way OUT to become Leader of the Decepticons"... Also, there's an ABSURDLY Fast "Blink and you Miss it" Joke early in the movie that you NEED to know the Franchise to Get that made me Smile... Orion says "Trust me I've got the touch!"(Or something to that effect), and Elita One just slaps him away from what he was doing and tells him "No, you don't have the Touch, and you don't have the Power!", which is a reference to the song "the Touch" from the First animated Transformers Movie's Soundtrack...
Great review! I saw it in the theatres and had a fun time with it. I'm not the biggest Transformers fan, but I got the story and characters enough. My one issue was that it felt a TOUCH rushed near the last act. Not TOO rushed, but enough to notice it, at least for me. Random question, but do you think you'll end up going to Bluesky in the future? Just curious. Keep up the great reviews :)
After the first trailer I brushed it off as a dumb kids movie and wasn't excited, after watching it cuz I'm an old school fan I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was.
Man this movie revived my love for transformers and noticed its getting a come back kinda. I noticed a youtuber called Connerthewaffle do every power rangers series reviews. It be cool if you fid that with transformers cause you really like transformers but it be a big project
Been a fan since g1. This movie wasn't perfect. I could nitpick it to death...but why? I had FUN!!! It had heart, drama and comedy. Loved every bit of this movie. Andre, keep doin what you do.
@BlackNerdComedy been following you for a while but I'm curious, did you ever review the 86 transformers movie? If so I missed it. If not, would be great if you could for the 40th anniversary of transformers.
@@BlackNerdComedy I have been a g1 Transformers fan too. This is the most entertaining yet still enjoyable film. Andre can you still review Beetlejuice 2 and then Piece By Piece.
Studio only has themselves to blame, if trailer 2 was first then trailer 1 was second. Maybe this movie would’ve got the love it deserved. Here’s to a sequel 🙏🏽
Andre is underselling how awesome this movie is to noobies like me who've only ever seen glimpses of the series, and thought the liveaction bayformers were just stupid, if fun for the few scenes of transformers that were in them (devoid of bay's human characters). You Could call the plot simplistic, like a basic hero's journey for Orion/Optimus. But DAMN did they execute it Flawlessly! Really made me into an Optimus fanboy, like he's basically the Shawn Fain-bot, leader of the Autobots union against elites
Agree. And it feels like the people who wrote TF ONE actually like Optimus's as a character. There are just a ton of TF media where the writers outright dislike Optimus as a character (IDW, Earthspark, TF Netflix series), or just don't know him at all (Michael Bay) TF One Optimus is a character I know why people will follow. He is breave, heroic, loyal, and tried to defend the poeple around him.
Best Transformer movie since 86'. Far exceeds any Bayverse film that has been made. "Bumblebee" movie came close. Marketing failed this film utterly. This film deserves a sequel!
This felt pretty much like a big budget movie version of Transformers Prime, which is definitely the best series of the franchise.
Agreed
Agreed 100%.
That made this movie even better for me
I think Beast Wars tops Prime but just barely.
Best series for me is Animated, no contest.
It took 17 years to get THE Transformers movie that fans wanted.
And we waited 2 months for this review to appear.
Transform & Rolls Out.
🤖
Ehhh. I don't like changing them into friends we saw they weren't in the cartoon but I'm old lmao so half the people haven't even seen the original series so it was good for what it was
@@Drkbardockssj They've been friends for a while now. It's not new lol, it's been a thing in the comics for over 2 decades now.
I still get chills hearing the line “Arise…Optimus Prime.” The marketing team failed this movie!
Orion Pax/Optimus Prime Peak.🤖❤️🤖💙
Funny thing i just realised with that scene is more parallels/mirroring of the two
"I! Am! MEGATRON!" AND "ARISE!... Optimus Prime"
Calm calm SHOUTING and SHOUTING calm calm
This movie was so good! The people who worked on this movie definitely understood the assignment.
Saw this film 4 times, 3 in theaters, 1 at home, it's easily the best tf film in recent times and is peak cinema imo
I was never a huge Transformers fan until I saw Bumblebee & Rise of the Beast this year. I liked those two movies enough to give Transformers One a chance and I'm glad I did because I love this movie.
Welcome to the family

This movie is honestly one of the best Transformers movie I’ve seen and it’s a shame the marketing and trailers didn’t do this movie justice. I’m HOPING this movie can get a sequel!
I loved this movie. Your assessment about the trailer and the love for the opening sequence of Bumblebee and THIS, HELL YEAH! GO see it if yo haven't already!
Thank you for doing non spoilers because I want to see this movie just haven't had a chance. Great video
You're very welcome! I hope you enjoy it when you get the chance!
Glad you're spreading the word about the film that really deserves it's own franchise. It took 17 years to have a Transformers film that's focused on the Transformers, finally.
"Three-headed dragon?" Andre, don't do Tiamat (5-headed Dragon Queen) dirty like that...
I finally saw it today. Jerked some tears outta me. Would love to have seen you and Lindsay talk ab it like w bumblebee and all.
OMG YES! This! Need Andre Lindsay crossover one last time. Sad that its so unlikely cuz she doesn't ever wanna come back to youtube
I'm glad to see you bring some attention to this movie. It really does deserve it. Is there any chance you want to talk about this with Lindsay Ellis like you did the other movies?
My girlfriend has never been into transformers. She’s on board after this. It’s a shame this movie didn’t do that well in the box office but this was an amazing movie best I’ve seen since bumblebee. Can’t wait for more

It pretty much broke into the Disney/dreamworks hegemony of animation quality
This movie reawakened my love for the franchise
I love how they show the origin of Starscream's voice
This movie was so good, I absolutely loved it! It was everything I wanted out of a TF movie, and I'm so glad the humor was toned down. In the latter half as we see Megatron starting to turn, I'm glad they let certain moments simmer, rather than having Bee chime in.
I hope it does well on streaming, since I so desperately want a sequel!

There a few really dark moments O was not expecting. I liked it more than anticipated
Grew up with Gen 1 Transformers, and I LOVED this.
Transformers One 🤝 Transformers The Movie (1986)
THANK YOU for not doing spoilers! Some of us take weeks if not months to get aroudn to seeing a movie, and I have to avoid any rekated UA-cam channels to avoid spoilers every time! Thank you for being considerate!
As a lifelong TF fan who has never seen Go-Bots: How they gonna diss Go-Bots like that when Go-Bots came FIRST!?
Starscream: How do you do, fellow Autobots?
No G.I. Joe in the Hasbro logo either. Maybe when the Transformers/Joe crossover movie comes out, they'll make it in
This was the movie we should have gotten years ago
I never grew up having an interest in the franchise or seen any of the shows. The only movies I watched were Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts, which I enjoyed. But after seeing this film in theaters, I loved it so much that it got me curious in everything!
I'm already in the middle of season 2 of TF Prime lol

I saw this movie three times in its opening weekend, and for me personally, it's easily my favorite movie of the year. I also bought the original complete animated series on DVD shortly after.
That’s awesome! The original series is a classic!
@BlackNerdComedy I had only seen the 80s animated movie a couple of times, but never the actual series, so I'm really excited to check it out.
I got Paramount + and that intro in Bumblebee was the best transformer movie snippet I've seen, so I think I'll give this movie a try then.
Transformers One is streaming today from Paramount+.
I loved this movie! I need to see it again soon. They did so many things right. This is the kind of Transformers movie I have always dreamed of. However I agree with you that Power Rangers should be in the hasbro logo. They should improve that. The logo definitely could have been done better. the movie itself is a total banger though.
Dude this movie was sooo good
The marketing didn’t do this flim justice
I do hope we get a sequel
Need to sequel by TRANSFORMERS ONE.
Thank You For Reviewing The New Transformers Film Dude, This Is By Far My New Favorite Film Of All Time.
I was waiting to hear you talk about this one!!! 🙌
Haven't even hit play yet, the title alone gets a HARD AGREE! This film was to Transformers what Spider-verse was to comic movies, leagues above so much that came before it's almost a joke.
Transformers: One is just as great as Bumblebee!
BADASSATRON 😂💛🖤
I'm finally early for one of your videos, you're a legend man.
I got back into the franchise at the right time frame. I was giving myself a TF marathon for the past few months and with that said, this movie reminded me why I enjoyed Transformers to begin with. I absolutely LOVE this movie. It deserved so much better. But, Paramount has stated that they are keeping an eye on the DVD sales to sees if it truly peeks more interest in a sequel, which hopefully it does because it deserves it.

I'm really looking forward to finally seeing this on Paramount Plus as a Transformers newbie myself! God bless!
There’s 3 Things I have to clarify, 1. I’m ok with the Quintessons not showing up, I’m aware how much of a Threat they are but the whole point of this Movie is how Optimus Prime and Megatron began the Formation of the Autobots and Decepticons, IF the Quintessons had appeared more often it would ruin the Film and we won’t get any Sentinel Screen Time, 2. Elita wasn’t the one that had the Idea of using Arachnid to Expose Sentinel, It was Orion who did a Quick Thinking when Arachnid said “I can see Everything” showing how Clever Pax is with his Sharp Edge and Mind, and 3. Bee was done good enough, I get that the Character didn’t evolve but Bee has done Well Enough, his presence is literally the Beginning to Pax and D16’s Journey to who they are destined to become as it was a Red Flag when they found out that there’s 50 Sub Levels instead of 40, his Creation Steve has the Map, and while I thought he was going to ruin the Movie with the Comic Relief I’m surprised there’s Layers of Humanity especially when Sentinel captures him and Dee and Dee stood up when Bee didn’t want him to stand up because he doesn’t want to see his Friends Hurt, like the Quintessons I’m pretty sure Bee will Develop especially when he losses his Voice in the War, anyway this Movie was amazing, not only is it one of the Best Movies of 2024, but it’s clearly the Best Transformers Movie of all Time, the Voice Casting was Great, the Story with the Evolution of Optimus Prime and Megatron is Interesting and Heartbreaking, Sentinel Prime is one of the Best Modern Villains in a Long Time that he’s definitely giving Homelander Vibes, and the Animation and Setup are Flawless, 10 out of 10, I’m hoping this gets a Trilogy because it deserves it and I would love to see more content from this and the Franchise.
Much appreciated on making a video on this. I really like this movie and im happy you enjoyed it.
I love what they did with D-16's eyes as he begins to descend into Megatron.
I seriously hope this gains new life on streaming so they continue with this story.
The ads for this movie was just an insult to such a good film this movie is easily in my top 3 of transformers film's
This a great Transformers movie
0:55 perfectly said, the beginning of Bumblebee and Transformers One, that’s what the movies need to be. If it can be done in live action ok cool, if not ok cool lol

I like the original transformers movie from the 80's
Thanks Andre, I had no intention of watching this, but your recommendation has piqued my interest.
Best origin story in fiction.
Loved all the foreshadowing of Bumblebee losing his voice and why it might be justified 😂
Best Transformers movie ever made. It only 40 years. This is what we should have gotten in August of 1986!!!!!!
I loved this movie. I hope everybody checks it out.
I WILL DEFINITELY BE WATCHING THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!
You do realize and understand, Andre, that the guy who did the movie score, Brian Tyler, did the same soundtrack for Transformers Prime, and the other movies like Rambo IV, and the Dune Trilogy Miniseries.
I was geeking out to all the references like during the Mario movie, except this movie had a plot and character arcs lol
YOOOOOOOO🔥🔥🔥
Already saw it in the first week and regret not seeing it again or the fan event. But I love it and wish marketing did a better job not making it too comedic

Just wanted it on paramount I loved it hope we get a part 2
Me too. I went to the early screening and was legit surprised how good it was and how mature it got
Mega transformers goodness

I'll watch Transformers One. The first part of Bumblebee was so awesome, good movie overall. Thanks for your review.
This movie made me a fan. I've seen 4 of the bay movies and bumblebee. But I never felt the need to get into the franchise. This got me so intrigued into the lore and I need to know more.
Not gonna lie I had no intention of ever seeing this movie but your review has me intrigued, and the lack of humans (the worst aspect of the Bayformers dynasty) has me even more intrigued, so I might catch it streaming.
i went into this movie only seeing the negative opinions months ago and not watching any trailers and i’m so impressed, really hoping they make more movies like this.
They absolutely flopped with promotional material for this movie, it's totally misleading, and way too "dumbed-down" for what the movie is actually about, just hoping all the traffic it's receiving right now will rectify that and help it get a sequel, heck even launch a saga
This movie is soo great movie but is not Flopped.
Transformers One saves Transformers Franchise.
[After Bumblebee 2018]
Steve B: yyyyeeeaaaahhhh!
I loved it too. This is indeed the TF movie i have always wanted. I *never* needed humans (tho, I love Bumble Bee). I saw it twice. I helped me clarify, and enjoy the TF lore.
Andre can you do a house tour!? I would loooove to see your set up & nerdy household items
I walked into this film knowing very little of it except from the trailer I saw. I walked out highly surprised with how deep of the re-introduction of the whole lore of the franchise it went into into the first half hour. Bravoooo Team, I highly enjoyed the humour in all of it between working class, class of cars etc as well very well written. Goood special effects as well as a steady pace. The team understood this assignment extremely well and is wanting more stuff like this. I also personally felt this would be a real good introduction to the franchise-re-introduction into the series as well.
2:57 okayyy 👀👀 very demureeee
Too you long enough! I’ve been waiting for your thoughts m! This is the second best Transformers movie we’ve ever got!
Just watched and I wish the advertising was better. Would have seen this in theaters at least twice.
I loved this movie and I was a teenager when transformers the movie came out in theaters in the mid 1980s and transformers one was just as good and I totally agree with Andre the start of bumblebee as full length movie and this .
Movie was REAL fun Relatively face paced, lots to explore, REAL Pretty Sights, References everywhere... But there are a few story things in it that made me go "Oh, they're changing that... I Liked the other one better" But they also kinda Referenced those things...
Like the Fact that Orion Pax isn't an Archivist here, or a Security Bot... Obviously the best version is the one where he was an Archivist, which I think was Introduced in Transformers: Prime, and it's from studying the History of transformers that he found a way to become Optimus Prime. But it's at least Referenced with him being IN the Archives in the first Scene and them more or less telling us that he's been there before...
Tied to that, Megatron's origin as a Gladiatorial Fighter who fought his way to becoming a Folk Hero against the Oppression of Either Quintessans or the Upper class of Transformers (Based on what Vehicle Mode they were born with), but who eventually let himself get corrupted by his Rage... There's hints of that here, with his Rage building in a Similar way after he learns things, but it's not as epic as "Centuries of Fighting in the Pits till he fought his way OUT to become Leader of the Decepticons"...
Also, there's an ABSURDLY Fast "Blink and you Miss it" Joke early in the movie that you NEED to know the Franchise to Get that made me Smile... Orion says "Trust me I've got the touch!"(Or something to that effect), and Elita One just slaps him away from what he was doing and tells him "No, you don't have the Touch, and you don't have the Power!", which is a reference to the song "the Touch" from the First animated Transformers Movie's Soundtrack...
Hands down, best Transformers movie ever. I really hope we get a sequel.
….nice primer! I see what you did there!😝🤣🤣🤣🤓 I genuinely loved the movie. It was really well done. Granted I bought it on digital
I SAW IT TWICE IN THEATERS AS WELL!!!! BEST TRANSFORMERS MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!! MY NEW FAVORITE TRANSFORMERS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie did the franchise justice. It felt familiar, yet new.
Great review!
I saw it in the theatres and had a fun time with it. I'm not the biggest Transformers fan, but I got the story and characters enough.
My one issue was that it felt a TOUCH rushed near the last act. Not TOO rushed, but enough to notice it, at least for me.
Random question, but do you think you'll end up going to Bluesky in the future? Just curious.
Keep up the great reviews :)
Enjoyed this movie bought as soon as it was on fandango at home.
After the first trailer I brushed it off as a dumb kids movie and wasn't excited, after watching it cuz I'm an old school fan I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was.
Man this movie revived my love for transformers and noticed its getting a come back kinda. I noticed a youtuber called Connerthewaffle do every power rangers series reviews. It be cool if you fid that with transformers cause you really like transformers but it be a big project
IMO, this is the best Transformers movie. And yes, I'm including the '86 film, which might be a close second for me.
Been a fan since g1. This movie wasn't perfect. I could nitpick it to death...but why? I had FUN!!! It had heart, drama and comedy. Loved every bit of this movie. Andre, keep doin what you do.
That's the spirit! Fun is what it's all about!
@BlackNerdComedy been following you for a while but I'm curious, did you ever review the 86 transformers movie? If so I missed it. If not, would be great if you could for the 40th anniversary of transformers.
@@BlackNerdComedy I have been a g1 Transformers fan too. This is the most entertaining yet still enjoyable film. Andre can you still review Beetlejuice 2 and then Piece By Piece.
We just watched it. I love this animation version!!!!
Studio only has themselves to blame, if trailer 2 was first then trailer 1 was second. Maybe this movie would’ve got the love it deserved. Here’s to a sequel 🙏🏽
Andre is underselling how awesome this movie is to noobies like me who've only ever seen glimpses of the series, and thought the liveaction bayformers were just stupid, if fun for the few scenes of transformers that were in them (devoid of bay's human characters). You Could call the plot simplistic, like a basic hero's journey for Orion/Optimus. But DAMN did they execute it Flawlessly! Really made me into an Optimus fanboy, like he's basically the Shawn Fain-bot, leader of the Autobots union against elites
Agree.
And it feels like the people who wrote TF ONE actually like Optimus's as a character. There are just a ton of TF media where the writers outright dislike Optimus as a character (IDW, Earthspark, TF Netflix series), or just don't know him at all (Michael Bay)
TF One Optimus is a character I know why people will follow. He is breave, heroic, loyal, and tried to defend the poeple around him.
The best Transformers movie. Ever. By miles.
Yes, better than the 1986 movie.
Andre is awesome would love to see him in his Hyper force suit
Best Transformer movie since 86'. Far exceeds any Bayverse film that has been made. "Bumblebee" movie came close. Marketing failed this film utterly. This film deserves a sequel!
Oh power rangers would be FIRE in animation🔥🔥🔥🔥 in that idw turtles crossover style too🔥🔥
