Yes, it's a Go-Bots movie, but I swear, it's not as bad as you'd
think. "The Battle of the Rock Lords," from 1986, was inarguably a
90-minute toy commercial of the most shameless kind. Need I remind
you that the majority of such animated features were only crafted
for the same purpose? Do you think they killed off Optimus and
introduced a hundred new Autobots for dramatic effect? Do you think
He-Man found out he had a sister because of the forthcoming
relationship bringing on a welcome, stark contrast to his dealings
with allies he
wasn't
related to? Does that sentence even make sense?
I only bring this up because that's been the biggest complaint
thrown at "Battle of the Rock Lords," which really is a fun little
movie. Stupid and poorly scripted, yes. With characters less
defined than the boulders they battled on top of, yes. But
still
fun. The fact that it flopped in 1986 isn't a big concern, but
don't skip past it just because of what you might've heard, or more
probably, just because it has to do with
Go-Bots
. Yeah, Go-Bots suck. They're transforming warriors made of steel
who still manage to exhume complete flaccidity, but no worries: the
Go-Bots share the spotlight with more interesting characters here,
and best of all, they're not as wooden as usual. Sure, it's going
to be hard to avoid comparing it to "
Transformers: The Movie." Don't do it, folks. Compare it to something less challenging --
maybe the "Snorks?" Keeping in mind that it's a Hanna-Barbera
flick, it's more like a heavy-handed Yogi Bear cartoon than a
lighthearted Transformers adventure.
