That said, I'll probably see it. His stuff is better on the big screen than it is on video. But I won't expect more than a two-hour waste of time to the cinema. I don't expect to discuss the social significance of TRANSFORMERS on the drive home, much like I don't ever bring up Bad Boys and The Rock when I discuss the artistic greats of our time.

I saw it last night and your expectation is about right. My main thought is it was the epitome of a "boy flick". Take your son and leave your adult view of the world behind. It is a great flick to get lost in your youthful imagination.
There are no serious emotional scenes to work through, but there is plenty of action and suspense. It should win awards for the computer animation. I had a great time with my 13 year old son making it well worth the money. This is a movie I plan to add to my DVD collection when it becomes available.
