Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

dragonborn-08644 I went into this show reluctant, since I let the animation and new characters fool me. However, I went out of the show stunned. Beast Wars' writing was just plain amazing. Each character was written well (especially Dinobot) and to me, it was much more than a cartoon. I will point out the best character, Dinobot. Man oh man was he really well written, From the first episode to his death in Code of hero, he changed a lot. He went from chasing glory, to sacrificing himself for the good of others. The dialogue is great, the animation for that time is amazing and its overall a great show.

TheLittleSongbird The original 1984 show is still the jewel of the Transformers franchise, but of the shows that followed it the best was Beast Wars. This show is wonderfully done in most respects, it took a few episodes for the show to find its feet which is perfectly normal actually for any show and some of the animation towards the start was a little on the iffy side. But when Beast Wars did find its feet, it was exciting and emotionally impactful, and ranking it along with the others Transformers shows it was definitely one of the best written too. The animation, done with computer animation in its early days, mostly is fine with the fluidity and detail getting stronger all the time and the characters are well-modelled. The music is dynamic and beautifully scored, complete with a very memorable theme tune. The writing is some of the absolute best of the franchise, it's very thought-provoking and sophisticated and never falls into cheesiness, and the stories are really well thought out and compelling, complete with very exciting action sequences. A good thing too because Beast Wars has a lot of them, though neither fall into the trap of overshadowing the story lines so the substance is not lost. Part of the show's appeal is that it's not just enjoyable for children and adults but also you can re-visit it some time later and it has every bit the magic and more. Some may not find that the case, but it was with me personally and with a lot of friends who grew up with it as one of their favourite shows. The characters are great, Optimus Primal and Megatron hardly disappoint, though the standout characters in this show were Cheetor, Rattrap and especially Dinobot. The voice acting is equally great, Dinobot is some of the best voice acting Scott Macneil has ever done and Ian James Corlett, Garry Chalk and David Kaye to name a few are similarly expressive. All in all, wonderful and the best since the original 1984 show. 9/10 Bethany Cox

denis888 I remember I first saw this serial in Poland, where I was working in 2000-2001, and then I got hooked on it, and started to watch every episode in the morning or daytime, before or after my classes. It really did catch me! I was enthralled and marveled. Before that, I had hated to see any of the original Tranformers Series, but Beast Wars is a huge step forward, a real progress and areal improvement. What is bad there is a second-rate computer graphics, it is at its best naive or even extremely poor, and you see all the obvious mistakes, the goofs with the position of this or that hero in the given place, his or her coloration or the odd design of the background. Never mind, the plot is breathless. The incessant war between good and band animals, Maximals and Predagons, is very real, and you see not a gorilla, not a wasp, a rat, an eagle or a cheetah, but real people beside, behind, inside them, with their real problems, characters, tragedies and even very cute humor. The Rat one is the best, a cunning little cowardly creature, very lovable and sweet. And what a romance story in the second season! I re-watched the whole serial here in Russia and still am a great fan of it. Watch it!

Shahrose Beast wars was great, it created tension and what I liked about it was that it was targeted to more adult audiences which meant the story was richer and for the most part more well thought-out without most of the kid's cartoon like effects. It was an amazing series but it had its flaws, like the fact that in some episodes a predacon character would get blown to pieces and then reappear in the next episode totally recovered, whereas ,if the same thing were to happen to a maximal, they'd be gone permanently and it would be be shown as a serious and emotional event. Some episodes sheerly underpowered the maximals when inferior predacons would defeat them with ease...this was I guess to make the story more interesting by making showing the good guys as weak, but it's very inconsistent. An example of this is when Optimal Optimus and Cheetor are battling the normal transmetal Megatron they miss every shot on Megatron and he doesn't miss one and damages both maximals severely and gets away with the stasis pod. That's complete folly...Optimus was shown as having the power to defeat several predacons on his own in the previous episodes, especially when he was first conceived (when he temporarily took Prime's spark). You will also notice that when a maximal first appears from a stasis pod or when they've transformed to a new state(such as a transmetal, or transmetal 2) they are shown as incredibly powerful in that episode, and then in the latter episodes they're average fighters and shown fairly weak...predacons like Waspinator would defeat them...again very inconsistent. If this show had been a bit more serious and fixed their flaws, it would have been spectacular. Nonetheless, it was still the best animated show on TV and I still love it for what it is; dramatic, with an exciting and well thought-out plot that surprisingly fits in well with the original Transformers series), good animation/sound, voice acting and action.The thing that disappointed me was the fact Beast Machines was spawned from Beast Wars. Beast Wars was a gem, Beast Machines was in a word... terrible. It tried too hard to be emotional, it messed up the story by making some of the most noble maximals like Rhinox and Silverbolt evil. The animation got worse, the character models were worse and less powerful/interesting, Megatron was just some Godly evil character with no personality(mainly because they never really confronted him until the end), there was no good action and the ending was incredibly disappointing. I thought Cybertron would be a magnificent place and I was curious to see how they would show it since in Beast Wars we only saw glimpses of it. They totally ruined the show with Beast Machines.
