Awesome.

Freaking Awesome.

Loved it!

LOVED IT!







Okay.... I don't tear apart story lines that don't make sense... I don't care about guns that aren't appropriate... or idiots that walk with their guns pointed up in the air with their fingers on the trigger..... lol..... this was an awesome - shoot 'em' up, tear 'em' up.... good guys win.... sacrifice, and strength.... balls to the wall movie...


LOVED IT!!!

Go see it!

I really liked it too. I watched it without any expectations and it was a good action flick that reminded me of my childhood :)

It's getting awful reviews. Ebert usually can enjoy a popcorn flick for what it is, but he hated it. I can't believe it's 2.5 hours long. I'm thinking I may just wait and rent the blu-ray.

They could of cut 45 mins out of it easily and made for a better movie.

I wanted to love it, but I had issues. The twins ANNOYED THE HELL out of me, and Devastator had balls. What was up with all the humping?

I grew up with Transformers, I still have all my toys, I even have every episode of the original series on TV. I am beginning to hate Michael Bay.

Yes, it was entertaining, but it would have been so much better without some of the "humor".

The twins were "jar jar binks" annoying. My wife and I cringed when ever they were on the screen.
I really wish I hadn't taking the kids to see it. But that was my bad.

I didn't grow up with a Transformers fetish... however I was married to someone who did.... I've seen the movie (cartoon) over and over... I own the Transformers Movie Soundtrack.... the original cartoon one... I enjoy the story.

I agree with you about the twins - they were rather stupid, and I didn't really feel they added anything to it....

The two buck teeth, with one gold really did it for me.

Yeah... see... Jar Jar Binks didn't bother me... I thought he was kind of cute... in a stupid humor sort of way... I read all about all the 'sterotyping' and 'racial' stuff.... and seriously.... some people WAY over think things....

I didn't even look at it as a racial thing, just an annoying thing.

sorry...gonna have to disagree with the TS.

This was horrible, it was atrocious. I won't go into all the problems IMO as I don't want to post spoilers to anyone who wants to see it, but goodness it was miserable.
