Book Reviews of Transformers: Animated Movie Adaptation (Transformers (Idw))
Book Review: A breeze through...
Summary: 3 Stars
For those of you who still remember (or own) the original 80's adaption of what is the greatest of tales, you will probably be able to recall the way it followed it's big-screen brother scene for scene. And that's the main problem with this adaption (and adaptions in general): it entirely replicates the film leaving no new perspectives for the reader. In this way, you breeze through it, concentrating on the original film in your mind's eye as opposed to that on the printed page. It's hard to say, but I think someone who hasn't seen the film will probably find this too rushed and stuck together; it never really settles.
Taken another way, i.e. flicking through and focusing on the art, the comic comes to life, from the colour to the detail. Unicorn, in particular, is a special (though fleeting) sight. However, some of the no doubt universally anticipated scenes, such as the early battle between the Dinobots and Devastator on Earth are given one lousy box. You must understand I perhaps too anxiously hoped for a detailed scene where Devastator takes on each Dinobot individually... I still dream about these things.
I'd still recommend buying this, because great G1 stuff is still relatively hard to come by, and there aren't going to be any animated continuations of that series anytime soon. Plus there's a nice surprise early on, during the battle for Autobot City.
