Transmorphers

This live action movie has been a long time coming. I loved playing with Transmorpher toys as a kid and watched the Saturday morning cartoon show religiously. I'd drive my parents nuts singing the catch phrase "Transmorphers, robots in the skies" over and over again. I bawled my head off when Optimist Prime died. So, you can imagine how stoked I was as an adult man, pushing forty to discover they were making a Transmorphers live action movie. I was even more excited to discover my local Blockbuster had an advance copy of it BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED IN THE THEATERS! But, after watching it, let me tell you--this movie doesn't live up to the hype! I didn't expect it to follow the plot of the original 1986 cartoon movie, Transmorphers: The Movie, but seriously, I expected to see some familiar characters. I was hoping for some of my favorite Oddobot characters like Honeybee, Chazz, or Ironside. No luck. I thought they would at least have some of the Deceiticons like Sunscreen or Magnadoodle. Also no luck. Now that Hasbro bought Tonka, perhaps the producers of the movie tried to save money by using some of the lesser known Gobot characters? Anyway, if you're a fan of the old Transmorpher toys or cartoons, don't bother with this movie... Oh, what am I saying? I don't care how bad this movie was, TRANSMORPHERS RULE! TRANSMORPHERS, MORE THAN MEETS YOU OR I...

Wow it's amazing that a movie titled Trans"Anything" popped up around the same time as the multi-million dollar blockbuster Transformers. What a complete and utter coincidence!

My movie ranking doesn't usually include "B" movies because they are typically awful. I think next to The Wicker Man, this is the worst movie to catch my eyes in a long time. Not that I can email the producer and tell him I want my hour and a half back....OK so I did...and I'm still waiting to hear from him. I highly recommend this movie to any and all insomniacs if you need a sleep aid. If that don't help.....drink heavily and use it as a coaster.

This was deliberately made to be totally ridiculous and lousy crap.

At least you will get a few laughs, but be sure not to waste your time watching all the talk scenes...just FORWARD through most of the movie and enjoy the crumbs of nothingness that somehow made me laugh.

The Very First Clue was the title: TRANSMORPHERS .... not TRANSFORMERS! I am seriously contemplating doing a movie with the title: TRANSSMURFERS! NOT! Doubt the owners of The Smurfs would let me.

If you do not pay close attention you would easily fail to see the spelling difference! Also, beware of the flashing scenes: I almost got convulsions! The second clue was when the intro says that we discovered a planet with life over 20 million light years away! Any adult with the even the most rudimentary science education should know that our own Milky Way Galaxy is only roughly 100,000 Light Years across (diameter)! And the furthest detectable planets are well within 100 Light Years distance.

As for the acting: what acting?!? I cannot for the life of me imagine that the thespians in this movie were not aware of the impossibility of accidentally making such a lousy, everything-did-go-wrong (-NOT!) movie! I've seen Trekkies make better stuff on a budget of less than $500.

I only stumbled onto this movie after having mistaken it for "Transformers". That was disappointment number one. Well, being the sci-fi fan I am, I saw it through anyhow.

The acting was poor, though about what I had expected. Like the acting in Starship Troopers but with less memorable faces.

The plot had potential, but turned out to be a bad Matrix Revolutions rip off.

Most disappointing of all was the graphics. The special effects throughout the movie were simply horrible. Way below par anything you would expect to see today. It would have looked amateur 15 years ago.

I don't recommend taking this one on sober.

Seriously! this movie is so damn bad you can't miss this! It's like a staple in how bad a movie can go! bad acting, horrible effects for a movie that was not made in the 80s, terrible plot, and the fights! lol I laughed so hard at the fight scenes! At some points of the movie you can actually see some actors giggle at the shittyness that is going on! I'm telling you, you CAN'T miss this. I doubt there will be a sci-fi movie as bad as this one, EVER!.

I bet a lot of people will get this anyways, as it's obviously marketed so people mistakenly pick it thinking it is transformers (as a friend of mine did when he picked this gigantic turd!). MUST WATCH!
