i really enjoyed this - a fun freewheeling summer movie - i think turturro did exactly what he was supposed to do and that is grate on people - the theater cheered when he was lubricated.......... we also had clapping at the end of the movie

would definitely recommend this - you can nit pick the little things to death - but this isn't high cinema - this is a fun flick that aims to (and accomplishes) pleasing a very broad audience

Nice action flick! It was entertaining, and while a few scenes could have been cut out, it came together okay. The whole ebay thing was overplayed, but otherwise I really liked it. A must see on the big screen.

Saw this night and thought it was flat out awesome.

I'm sure it's not the greatest movie ever made but I thought it was great. I have no complaints and came away impressed, and that was after going into the movie with pretty high expectations.

I enjoyed it...really loved the voice for Optimus Prime...wasn't that like the original voice? Sounded like it.

The only part I didn't get was the military running into the center of a city to do the cube drop...how about maybe NOT near millions of people? :)

Yeah it was the original voice. I liked the movie too for the most part though I felt like the comic relief scenes in the begining were too drawn out.

It won't. But at least it will sound pretty good.

Personally, I thought the movie was entertaining, but it was extremely difficult to keep track of what is going on, especially at the end. Cuts every 1.5 seconds are difficult to interpret. Definitely will have to see it again.

7.5 out of 10.

Great special effects that really should be seen in a theater. Other than that, there's not much to this movie. The plot is pretty weak, as is the acting.

That's the forumla for every summer blockbuster now.

- non original idea or sequal +
- Overdone CGI monsters +
- Explosions +
- Hot girls +

No plot, no thinking, just watch things blow up and stare at that ass.

Hey Chaplin, Cheese knew to go to the "Arclight". You watch, he'll never want to go to any other theater after this... :D

We'll finish this "Arclight is the greatest theater ever" debate at GameFace tomorrow...;)

1st 45 minutes: Totally freaking Awesome!

Middle 15 minutes: WTF?

Rest of Movie: Pretty good.

Overall: 7.5/10


The dynamic between Prime and Megatron no played up enough... I would've like to have seen more development of the Transformers ( I understand that most pepole would have watched the cartoon, so film maker may have felt is was not needed).

Saw it yesterday. I thought it was very well done. Some of the comic relief was well childish so I guess it was right on point. The action was fantastic but like someone else said... so many cuts it made it hard for eyes to focus.

I am not big on actors names but whoever played the leader of section 7 was really over the top. He just seemed a little too much for this movie.

No other actress, except possibly Kiera Knightly, has given me more "excitement" than Megan Fox in any movie. Wow, and she didn't even get nekked! Friggin hot!

Not much to the plot, but it was good enough for Transformers. The acting was pretty good. It was really strange having some of the actors in it switch from the normal comedy that they do to more serious parts. Totally random shot at Iranian scientists, boo! Some of the parts were dumb... The action scenes were good though and there were plenty of them. That's mostly what matters in a movie like this. After a so-so beginning I really enjoyed it. I'd rate it somewhere between a 7.5 and an 8/10....I'll say 7.5 because I give out high ratings too easily.
