Robot War

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...

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!

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.

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.

low budget doesn't mean bad movie and there are numerous examples to prove it. but movie maker has to have an idea or at least try to be original and creative. this movie "borrows" all the lamest Hollywood clichés and puts them into zero budget project without adding any shred of originality. so even tho the low budget doesn't mean bad movie, bad acting, bad script, bad directing and bad technical production do. and this is probably the worst movie i have seen in a long time. one good point was the fact that futuristic society was governed by women. if they had machine guns instead of plastic toys and were half-naked this movie would be watchable. this way it just hopes to cash few bucks transmorphing incoming transformers title. bad.
