First reviews for the Paramount Pictures film Transformers One animated films have hit the internet, and they’re surprisingly good. Critics are loving the film, and some are even saying it’s the best Transformers movie ever made.
They must have kept the best stuff out of the trailers, because none of the footage sold me on the film, but after reading a lot of reviews, maybe there really is more to it than you might think!
I hope so, I hope this movie is as awesome as everyone says it is! I would love nothing more than to see an awesome Transformers movie!
This film tells the “origin story of how the most iconic characters in the Transformers universe, Orion Pax and D-16, went from brothers in arms to sworn enemies, Optimus Prime and Megatron.”
Read some of the review excerpts below and let us know if they get you excited about this movie! I’m keeping my expectations in check.
io9: Transformers One easily erases the bad taste that 20 years of live-action Transformers movies may have left for some. It’s big, it’s beautiful, and it’s probably the best Transformers movie ever.
JoBlo: Easily the best Transformers movie ever made
Coming soon: Transformers One is the best Transformers movie ever made.
SlashFilm: Transformers One is the best Transformers movie since the 1986 original.
Nerdist: A fun reminder of why we all liked robots that were more than meets the eye. It doesn’t quite reach the crossover artistic heights of Spider-Verse or Mutant Mayhem, but that doesn’t mean it’s not damn great.
ScreenRant: There’s a lot to love here, from the character dynamics to the thrilling action to the gorgeous animation. It’s a thrilling origin story.
Total Film: To say that Transformers One is a cut above most of its predecessors is perhaps not the wildest compliment, given the lows reached by those blockbuster behemoths in the Michael Bay era. But it earns that laurel nonetheless.
San Francisco Chronicle: Even if you don’t care about the origin story… Its themes of friendship and underdog heroism, coupled with visually stunning design and clean storytelling, make for a truly captivating film.
Zach Pope Reviews: WOW Transformers One is the BEST Transformers movie! High octane action, hilarious and most importantly emotionally deep with its friendship themes + layers of social hierarchy that make for some enlightening pieces of the Transformers universe!
Comic Book: If this is the future of the Transformers franchise, then Autobot and Decepticon fans truly have a bright future to look forward to.
Variety: While delivering the fun and excitement you’ve come to expect from Hasbro’s transforming robots, Transformers One tackles its most recognizable characters with a level of nuance and complexity that makes them the most sophisticated on-screen portrayal to date.
Movie Discussion: Transformers One is exactly what the franchise needs right now. Director Josh Cooley delivers a gripping original story told with reverence and a level of maturity that will unite fans of all ages.
AwardsWatch: Transformers One delivers the joy that first drew audiences to this universe in the 1980s and proves that there are still great stories to be told.
Culture Mix: For better or worse, Transformers One is for hardcore Transformers fans. This origin story has eye-catching visuals and action, but the plot may be too confusing for viewers new to the franchise.
The Movie Podcast: Transformers ONE is the BIGGEST surprise of the year and is exactly the SPARK the Transformers franchise needed. With stunning animation, hilarious moments, and a fresh take for fans, it’s the best Transformers movie in years.
Deadline Hollywood Daily: Transformers One returns to the property’s purely animated roots. However, the story has more humanity than the films that co-star human actors, and ultimately makes you feel the operatic tragedy of Megatron.
Mama’s Geeky: Transformers One features some truly incredible action sequences, but most importantly, it gives fans a soulful and emotional origin story.
The stars of the film Chris Hemsworth like Orion Pax / Optimus Prime, My Friend Brian Tyree Henry like D-16 / Megatron, Scarlett Johansson like Elita-1, and Keegan Michael’s Key like B-127 / Bumblebee.
Transformers One will hit theaters on September 20th.
