i am in the bullseye of the target audience, and I couldn’t possibly care any less about this.
Comment on Box Office Update: Transformers One and The Substance struggling to find an audience
thejml@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Despite excellent reviews and good word-of-mouth from fans, Transformers One is having a bad time at the box office this weekend.
Is it really any good? Asking as someone who grew up with the Transformers from the 80’s on, every commercial/trailer I’ve seen for One seems lackluster and the animation style really cheap and off putting. Maybe it’s not an accurate representation of the film as a whole (wouldn’t be the first time)? Is the storyline enough to make up for it?

I went in with no intentions of it being good and no need for a prequel or rehash of the G1 timeframe I grew up loving dearly and subsequently watching my oldest son fall in love with the same G1 franchise and original 1986 movie gave me so much warmth.
I did not see this movie for me in any way. I’m old and jaded and can wax poetic about the 1986 movie for hours. I have gone on record at times saying it’s the best movie ever made.
That said, T One was the movie I never knew I needed.

I just saw it now. The animation, the world is so good, how did you find it cheap?
One of the best movies I watched this year.

47 year old dude who saw it Friday night with my 14 year old son. We are both G1 fans and rank the 1986 movie as the best on by far. This new movie is now the second best Transformers movie ever animated or not.
