LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Josh Elliott Transformers Prime has been the best Transformers media put out since G1 (Potentially better in some areas given this one has material included for adults). The stories start out in a somewhat episodic fashion, being wrapped up semi-neatly until the next episode. Eventually, this gives way to larger over arching story arcs, that will make you want to give into binge watching. In the beginning of the series, it seems like they intended for it to be geared towards kids, but as it progresses it would seem the writers realized the show had a much older demographic and began including more and more mature themes throughout the show. There are less characters than in many previous series (certainly less than G1) but the characters generally have more depth than the ones cranked out to maximize toy shelf space. Transformers Prime is a great place for young people to start in the Transformers franchise, but also great for anyone whose older and would like to recapture some nostalgic magic from their youth.
nathanchatwin Transformers Prime is one of the greatest TV shows of all time and one of my absolute favorites. It makes the movies pale in comparison. It looks amazing; the CGI is really incredible. The story is great and deep--you can really get involved in the epic struggle between Autobots and Decepticons, unlike the boring action spectacles that the movies are. That's not to say that Transformers Prime doesn't have its fair share of great action sequences, which it does. I'm totally astounded by some of the wonderfully choreographed fights. The characters are entertaining and interesting, and the show makes the Transformers the main characters, not the humans--another thing that's better than the films. After watching this show for the third time, my only regret is that it only has three seasons. I wish it could have gone on forever.
Shameek Quite admittedly I had never been a Transformers fan until recently. I often tried the original series when I was a kid but I always found it too childish, even as a kid. I preferred G I JOE. The concept of transformers always interested me but I never actually found a cartoon that did justice to the franchise. The movies rekindled my interest but they were far from great. Too much emphasis was given to the human characters to go with other problems. In Transformers: Prime I have finally found something that I had always wished Transformers to be.The basic mood of this series perfectly suits Transformers. It's serious but has enough humor. It has a dark feel to it which seems to be a missing ingredient of all previous Transformers series.The picture quality is amazing. The robots look fantastic and the humans look fairly good too. The background quality does vary a bit from episode to episode but even the minimum level is very good. The camera work is excellent.The writing is generally very good as well although there are times when it feels a little stretched out. The dialog is impressive.The musical score is excellent and that really helps the mood and tension of any scene. Transformers is meant to be epic. That is exactly what the music reflects. At times the power of the music is such that if you get involved enough it will take you places.But the true strength of this series is the characters. Every single character has incredible depth and development, and you can really feel that every character is unique. The bad guys are always more interesting but here you'll also come to love the good guys because you'll feel that you really know them and get to ride along in their emotional journey. The writers did not throw cheap characters by the hundreds but instead carefully chose a few and decided to make them complete. I would go as far as to say that the quality of the show is wasted on young viewers who would probably struggle to realize just how good it is, but enjoy it all the same. This is art, not just entertainment for kids.If you will ever love Transformers then this is it. Even if you never liked it before give it a try. You might just fall in love with it.
mikeloeven I have been following the transformers series since i was a kid and i can say transformers prime in terms of animation puts beast wars to shame but that isn't very difficult to do in this day and age of advanced computers. overall the stories are well written and do have a much darker and more serious tone however there were some flaws mostly due to aspects that they copy pasted from the movies.The biggest annoyance in my opinion is the mute bumblebee. personally i liked the g1 and transformers animated versions better. The snarky full of himself attitude has always been his signature. Even in the movies he could communicate by playing sound bites through the radio and the official story was that his voice processor was damaged in combat. but now ...... he sounds like R2D2 and has little to no personality.the second issue i have with the show is the obvious one the kids are too stereotypical. Raphael i am guessing is supposed to be similar to Chip from G1. Miko is supposed to replace Sari Sumdak from transformers animated, and i am assuming Jack is supposed to be an analogue for Sam Witwicki.on a side note I think they should bring back Sari Sumdak from Transformers Animated, of course there would need to be some back story rewrites for continuity. As far as human companions in transformers series go, Sari was the most well developed least annoying and oh yeah she was half robot. Plus as someone who has dabbled in creative writing a bit I can see a potential dynamic between Miko and Sari that would give Optimus one hell of a processor ache.Aside from the nit picks i would have to say this is the second best TF series since G1
