The Transformers: The Movie (1986)
One of, if not THE, best movie of a cartoon series.
Anyone who even had a remote interest in Transformers should love thi flick. For one thing, the animation is excellent...highly detailed and just generally cool. The movie has a killer soundtrack, and most of the popular favorites appear in addition to the new group of characters introduced for the first time. This movie made Hot Rod and Kup instant fan favorites. Yes, the movie does kill a few of the characters (which never would happen in the series), but the sacrifices are done in a manner befitting any movie hero or villain, as well as a cartoon.
Action-packed, funny, exciting and just overall cool, Transformers: the >Movie is the ultimate high point
Batman Forever (1995)
Better than most people remember.
While the Batman franchise has been much maligned in recent years due to the disappointing performance of the last live-action film, Forever was second in quality only to the first Bat-film. It added color back into a Gotham that had gotten way too claustrophobic, and brought the tone back to something resembling the comics. Jim Carrey is a scene-stealer and dead on as The Riddler, and Val Kilmer is the perfect Bruce Wayne and Batman. Tommy Lee Jones does a great turn as Two-Face, unfortunately he isn't given enough to do and therefore comes across too cartoony, minus the angst of the character in the comics. One other big complaint is the new score - gone are Danny Elfman's orchestrations. Elliot Goldenthal's music would have been fine if not for his predecessor. Most people tend to lump this one in the 'lousy' section, it seems, but it was one of the biggest movies of '95 and a very faithful adaption overall. Now if they'd only release the director's cut
