GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords

The whole movie was to sell toys. Even Leader one was awful when he didn't want to save Cy- kill, the nut. Is this the same Leader- one? Not that the psycho didn't deserve to be saved, they should have put more thought into this movie not just to sell more toys. The part of the lava scene was unrealistic and they should have added more young go bots. Get rid of those weird rock creatures and put in some young guardians and renegades. They are girl go bots so I resume that they can reproduce since they have souls of men and brains. The only smart people in this entire movie were the girls, Soltaire, small foot and A.j. It would be better if you had a hot shot guardian trying to get himself in trouble than three old pros and a rebellious renegade fighting with old rusty renegade.

This was the greatest movie I have ever seen. I used to hate the go-bots but have come to love them since seeing this.

The Rock Lords and Go-bots form an alliance that proves that good things can come from bad situations, a must see for any child or adult that loves childish things.

This maybe be hanna-Barbara s greatest accomplishment to date. Anyone who wants to recapture there youth and vigor will enjoy this movie immensely. I suggest it for people of any age.

A must See.

I give it a 10

Totally generic, forgettable trash. Boring story and terrible animation (typical of Hanna Barbera). Not much different than the equally forgettable TV series, except with this they got "celebrity" voices. Hanna Barbera should never have been hired to make a robot cartoon. There was a reason Transformers is remembered and loved and Gobots gone and forgotten-- the difference in quality of their respective television shows. Both were good toys, but Transformers had fun stories and great animation (for its time). Gobots was standard Saturday Morning schlock. I strongly suggest get the DVDs of "Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos" (currently out on Region 1) instead and see how the Gobots & Rock Lords should have been done.

You'd think that with all of the money that Tonka was making selling Gobots they could come up with new and better ideas than Rock Lords. I was almost 10 when this movie came out and frankly I didn't really see what all of the fuss was about. A transforming rock shtick that was probably done because Tonka running a bit low on ideas. I can't even begin to tell everyone how disappointing this movie was to me. Maybe it was because I was a preteen and I really didn't care or it could have been because I was getting into other things.

If I had the chance to compare this movie to the Transformers movie I'd have said that the Transformers would have won hands down. The Transformers movie was nowhere near as violent as this movie was and even then at least the writers of the Transformers movie waited until somewhere near the middle before they even started killing off characters. In this movie we see a character being killed within the first five minutes of the movie.

Needless to say if I had 1000 monkeys on 1000 computers they could come up with a better idea than this.

I admit I did watch more of the GoBots in childhood than I did the original G1 Transformers. Yes, they do have their similarities but some of the characters from both shows have personality.

Anyway, the Rock Lords movie was an interesting piece. Yes, we get all-new characters in the form of a race of golem-like beings and it wasn't bad. I used to watch this movie all the time but I can't remember the last time I saw it. The Rock Lords were an interesting species. And in all honesty, these stone beings should have gotten their own series a long time ago. With all the reboots going around at the moment, it seems likely. I mean, you can only cover so much in one movie. And all those characters should have been fleshed out too.

Rock Lords might not have aged gracefully but it had an interesting plot. The main stars who played the Rock People did their jobs quite well. I'm not sure I'd watch it again but I can always look on YouTube to see what I remember and what I don't.

If you're not a fan of transforming robots, then this is probably skippable. If you like cheesy yet interesting popcorn plots try it. I'm sure it's a lot better than those live Michael Bay Transformer films.
