Transformers One Movie Review by Ryan Balkwill

The plot: The untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but who once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever.

I was so excited for this movie.

Transformers one was amazing.

Pros: I like it shows the friendship between Optimus Prime and Megatron before the became famous enemies. We get more on the history of the primes and the law of this universe. The animation looks beautiful. Its voice cast was very good, and this is the perfect movie for people who want to get into the Transformers.    

Cons: My only problems was about how not well the trailers didn’t do well to help advertise the movie properly and I didn’t know any of the transformers even were.
