It's just a movie, but in this case that's genuine praise.
The 1986 movie is part of an experimental wave of Hasbro movies, made when they really didn't know better. It at least has the dignity of not being the worst performer at the time.
G3 is a series of electronic babysitter tapes, from an era when everyone was pumping out garbage animated movie sequels for that purpose. It met all of its aspirations. The VAs seemed to have fun with it though, so there's that. And it also has a terrifying stage show (that probably looked fine from the back row, to be fair) that weirdly had the ambition to wrap up several ongoing character arcs I didn't know were actually ongoing.
The G4 movie is a movie that was released.
The G5 movie just feels like a normal animated movie.
