I just got home from an 8pm first showing of this movie. I took my 10 and 5 year old kids and they loved it! I must say, I wish the movie was out when I was a youngster. But late its better than never! Great flick Lotsa explosions, but the violence was mostly metal exploding or being shot up. Stronly recomended for those of you still stuck in your childhood like me.

If the movie lacked anything, it would have to be the almost complete lack of character connectedness for the Decepticons. I think it might have been better if they included an evil human for them to ally with, like Bin Laden or someone. I would have liked to see more of the Decepticon storyline and maybe just a little less of the romance crap

Zero interest in seeing this. Perhaps I'll watch the DVD one day.

Once upon a time, I felt as you do, Mr. frazod. I can suspend reality as well as the next guy, but when it comes to robots turning into office buildings, I struggle.

Then, I realized that many Planeteers have concluded the movie is worthy of a ticket purchase. Not only that, but there has been a drought of good action/fantasy movies of late. So I'm goin'.

As with any action flick, watching on a DVD just isn't the same. We ponied up the extra 2 bucks per ticket and went to see it at an Imax even. I think experiencing BOOM BOOM BANG flicks on the big screen adds a lot of excitment compared to DVD's. I wouldn't say you wasted you coin if ya only buy the DVD, but I doubt the movie would seem as excitng-- especially if ya take youngsters.

And let's just say that Megan Fox is aptly named. HOT DAYUMN!

I saw her in Maxim a few months back... apparently she is dating Brian Austin Green from 90210 and is a total dumbass. Hot but dumb. I hate dumb chicks, but love hot ones, so Im torn.

After that kind of praise I may actually look into it.

My buddy got some tickets for tomorrow at 11:30 am, a little early for a movie but oh well, I'm excited to see it

ChiefFripp · 07-03-2007, 05:41 PM

Going tonight to see it at Universal Studio's cineplex!

Eh, I'm not so discriminating. I'm not looking for her to do my taxes or anything, just get naked and prepare to receive.

She's on the cover of the current issue of Maxim.

I think that sums it up quite well. It's better than most people expected I think. For the people who are not giving it good reviews or panning it because of the lack of real depth, it ain't Shakespeare. IT'S ABOUT CARS THAT TURN INTO ROBOTS

Could have used more of Star Scream in the plot IMO.

I think the phrase you're looking for is "get naked and point it up."

I was really impressed with it. Obviously like most of us I was a kid watching Transformers back in the 80s and early 90s and nearly everything was done to my liking. The special effects and action scenes were awesome obviously but the thing I enjoyed was Shia and Bumblebee's friendship they developed I thought that was an awesome subplot to have Bumblebee as his protector. I thought the Seven corporation was a bit annoying and overdone and didnt make alot of sense to me but other than that it was really well done and I can't wait to see what happens in the second one cause the ending does leave it open with questions. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it despite some of its cheezy humor and unbelievable government tie ins and I can't wait to go see it again. Also I don't believe Megan Fox knows how to be ugly... that woman is perfection.
