I was never the biggest fan of Transformers (autobots/robots that can transform into other forms, such as vehicles and animals), except I did enjoy the 2007 movie starring Shia La Boef, Megan Fox and Josh Duhamel.
Since then, the Transformers movies that followed didn’t quite speak to me. That is until I learned that the cast of Transformers One, the latest film in the franchise includes Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Keegan Michael Key, Brian Tyree Henry, Laurence Fishburne, Jon Hamm and Steve Buscemi.
Directed by Josh Cooley, Transformers One is an animated action/adventure film about the origin story of sworn enemies Optimus Prime and Megatron, two transformers who were once the best of friends.
I must admit to enjoying Transformers One more than I expected to. Cooley’s film is a well-structured story. One with engaging, fun characters, funny moments, plus, visuals that will have you locked in – adults and children alike. And you certainly don’t have to be a die-hard Transformers fan to have a good time.
When forced to pick one thing to improve Cooley’s film, it would be for Megatron’s turn to the dark side to feel less rushed.
Watch Transformers One if you’re curious. You’ll likely find yourself pleasantly surprised.
Happy Film Loving,

The Movie My Life 
I’m very curious about this one too. I love the world of animation and I watch everything about it. I didn’t liked the Trasformers movie either, especially the ones directed by Michael Bay, but I enjoyed the spin-off Bumblebee and the last one, Rise of the Beasts, was not bad at all.
In that case, I have a feeling you’re going to enjoy this. 🥳 I’m sure more will come, especially considering that this is likely to be a hit.
I hope so. It’s not a good time for animation even if some movies are hitting the box office.
What do you mean ‘not a good time?’ Do you mean seasonally?
No, I mean these last few years. Besides the fact that the scripts, except for some works like Spiderman, don’t have the same attention and strength, it’s a bad time for animation because of how animators are treated. Just think about the news that came out about how animators were mistreated to make Inside Out 2, or how Warner is destroying Cartoon Network and removing several animated series and animated films from its platforms to avoid paying taxes, or the fact that AI wants to replace animators, just look at the agreement that Lionsgate made to be able to fire storyboarders. Let’s just say that these are not good times, especially here in the West, for animation.
Thanks for clarifying. I was aware of some of the issues you mentioned but not all. It is a new world, indeed.
Also, I meant to add that sadly, the moves corporates will choose to make when it means more money for them can never be underestimated.
If this happens, I hope this choice backfires on them. Because you can’t take away art and work from a human being. Absolutely not.
I heard that this was fun. Might see it this coming week.
It is a good time indeed. Treat yourself to a stress-free adventure. 😁
Oh yeahhhhhhh this is going to be a goodie!!!!
Enjoy yourself when you see it because ‘goodie’ and ‘fun ride’ are accurate. 🤓
I can’t wait!
My little sister’s friends are going to see this tonight but she’s not into it at all. I’m like maybe we should start with Shia Labeouf😁
😁 Well, I hope they’re pleasantly surprised. Funnily enough, I don’t know that I would have made it to the cinema to see this. Especially since I was never into the Transformers. But, I showed up to an early screening at the end of July, and to my surprise/delight, much fun was had. 🤓
Wonderful!
