yeah, starscream wasn't a bitch. he needs to sound like a bitch.

haha starscream is my favorite $$

[Dameon Angell]

That movie was fucking sick. And the Mustang owned.

[Adman]

the girl... so hot. The Camaro... so hot.

[Jeenyuss]

i liked it. i thought it was pretty rad. favorite bay line was "YOU'RE A SOLDIER NOW!" laughed at that for quite a bit.

loved the robot fighting but i do have one qualm with it. what the fuck was with the huge battles not being shown? i expected the final showdown between megatron and optimus to last like 5 minutes and be full on robot madness. they went to another scene and only spliced in a bit of megatron kicking prime around. i donno, just kind of bothered me that they didn't focus in on it more.

fuck the cheesiness though because i liked that movie.

They were gonna use the same guy who did Megatron's voice too. But when he was saying his lines he was always messing up and his voice was cracking too much. So they used Hugo Weaving's voice instead. I say they should have just used the guy who played Gollum in LOTR to do the voice. Megatron needed that snarling voice.

[Pearl Jam]

the story was terrible (CUBE HAS LOTS OF ENERGY, IF BAD GUYS GET IT ALL HUMANS DIE) and probably conceived in a hollywood board room in less than 5 minutes. on the flip side, i was entertained for 2 hours. i could watch the robots transform back and forth all day. the action sequence in the city at the end was really cool. oh, i also dig how they got the guy who did optimus prime's voice from the cartoon to do his voice in this one. quite nostalgic.

put your brain on the shelf before you enter the theatre and i promise you won't be disappointed.

[xquisite]

great action and gfx, and was pretty funny, i liked it

[Squeezer]

I just saw it and loved it! That Camaro looked effing sick. It was also funnier than I thought it would be. Sure, there were many Michael Bay moments, and overdramatic lines delivered so badly that they came across as corny, and the middle of the movie really dragged, but the special effects were more than enough to make up for all of that. Honestly, I can't think of one time where I said to myself, "that looks CGI'ed." The SFX were that good.

It's no classic, but it's Michael Bay's first movie I've fully enjoyed, and it makes for one hell of a popcorn movie when you can get to a matinee.

Oh, and that preview for Cloverfield looked so rad. I'm even more psyched to see that movie now.

Or it somehow increasing it's mass fourfold when changed to robot mode, yet still being compact enough to inconspicuously hide under a veranda.

I thought they explained this in the tv-series that the transformers simply have "a super technology that lets them do that". No extra bullshit, straight to the point. :P

[Stompa]

michael bay has never made a bad movie in his life

[Rhino_haha]

I just saw it, I've seen Bay ruin movies before, but this was a good movie.
Jerome I think you're on drugs.

[Troll King]

I loved it. The effects were great, and the action was fantastic. Critics who didn't like the Bay-ification have a point, but really, if it was to be made into a live-action film, I'm not sure if there is any other way to do it.


As for Hasbro being in the credits, again, what else do you expect? They own the license. Would you expect the Spider-man films to NOT have Marvel listed? Any illusions that Transformers isn't a brand made to sell toys died in the 80s.

French robots can dance. Who didn't see that coming.

The movie was good to be honest. I wasn't much of a Transformers fan so I don't think there were things that could disappoint me story-wise. Everytime they transformed it was so cool. The only problems were the overly cheesy dialogue and the weak ass Optimus Prime. Shia did a pretty good job. He was a good actor here and I was impressed to say the least. I was getting really irritated by all the applause during the movie. But what can you say, these guys really love their Optimus Prime erecting.

BTW: Did anyone see that crazy motherfucking teaser trailer before the movie? It's produced by J.J. Abrams. My friends and I were so pissed off trying to decipher what that movie was. Godzilla? Escape From New York? WTF IS IT??!?!?! Then we found out that it would be this unknown movie ->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverfield

If you click the link, it says the movie is to be filmed completely on hand held cameras. This sounds very intriguing, considering movies like Visitor Q and City of God use a ton of hand held camera work, and tend to turn out very action packed. I am intrigued.
