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...

I've read all the remarks made so far and the only thing that I can say is that they're all right. I'm a sci-fi fan, but to classify this movie as a sci-fi would be an insult to the genre. If I found this movie in a bargain-bin for $1.99 I still wouldn't buy it. I can't comment on the music track because I was so absorbed by the bad, bad, bad acting, that I don't even remember hearing it.

Very simply put, this movie just plain sucks.

The only thing I have an issue with is comparing the acting in this movie to that of Starship Troopers. That's being really insulting to Starship Troopers.

I don't ever comment on movies I've seen, whether I liked them or not, because I know we all have different tastes, but I just couldn't let this one go. I could find absolutely no redeeming qualities in this movie. If there were such a class as a "C" movie, that's where I'd put this one.

PUBLIC NOTICE! "TRANSMORPHERS has been renamed, "TRANSGARBAGE" - Like most, if not everyone else, I thought I was buying THE MOVIE "TRANSFORMERS". No doubt that was Leigh Scott's idea!!! A sucker born every minute! Please, please tell me that this was a "home made movie"; I'll feel better about it, as I cannot believe ANYONE in the movie business is capable of such sheer lack of ability. Even as a home made movie it would be bad. And the 'acting', well, when you can't act, 'act' in a Leigh Scott 'movie'. If I made this 'movie' or 'acted' in it, I would hide my shame by becoming a recluse. Mr Scott, Pizza Hut are looking for delivery boys, bet you can do that. Hhhmmm, then again .......

I've seem a lot of movies over the years, some of the worst ever made. so i know it takes real talent and skill to make some thing this bad. no way could this movie be an accident. that would be like a high school grad taking the sixth grade proficiency test and getting EVERY question AS WRONG as possible. if this was just bad acting there should have been at least some redeeming scene, one liner or golden turkey award worth event somewhere in the picture. as it is the only thing i liked about this movie was when i ejected the disk and threw it across the room. i got this trash for free and I WANT MY MONEY BACK! the makers of this movie owe me BIG for the time and brain cells wasted watching it. it's to bad IMDb's rating system doesn't have negative values. I'd give Transmorphers a -10

amazingly i actually sat through the entire movie praying that it would get better. i then spent a day wondering if i had dreamt that a movie could be so bad and unfortunately i wasn't dreaming.

to start off with there is the acting it was like the director just fell asleep and forgot to direct it was incredibly bad. then there are the special effects which honestly look like they were done before computers were invented.

then the story which could have been pretty good was let down due the fact that the plot was lost in the first few minutes.

i recommend staying as faraway form this movie as is humanly possible.
