    Thanks for the review. I really want to see this movie, either that or I’m just looking forward to punching some children ;)

    I couldn’t agree with you more about how much Micheal Bay sucks – except for The Rock, even with Sean Connery, that movie was a pile of crap!

    His only decent movie way Gone In 60 Seconds, and that was only because of Elinor.

    Actually, Gone in 60 Seconds was directed by Dominic Sena. Geez…you thought THAT movie was better than The Rock?

    I don’t know. I thought Transformers was pretty sweet save for the people clapping for random parts…when Bumblebee changed from an old Camaro into a new one.

    Well … an honest review … I can take it … however I loved the movie … yes I grew up in the 80’s … yes I watched the cartoons … yes I still have my Die Cast Transformers Collection in the Original Packaging … so Yes I Loved The Movie … honestly I thought it was a good interpretation of the cartoon … but just my opinion!

    5.5? WHAT? :)

    I loved the movie! At the end, everyone in the room stood up and started cheering and clapping… and you got to love Optimus Prime’s voice..

    I give it an 8..

    Hmmm, 5.5 + 2 + .5 = 8.. yeah, I guess you were right after all.

    Muahaha.

    Ummm Micheal Bay may be one of the better modern day story tellers. Yeah often times we get caugth up in orginality and cineamotgraphy. But when it comes down to telling a story I think he finds himself in some pretty competition. He makes some of the most watchable movies around. Have the common decenscy to differentiate between film types. If your looking for an art house masterpiece he doest fit your taste, but if your looking for a good story, there are only a few better, and one of them happens to a S in front of his name and a big berg at the back!

    heyyyyyy
    I loved this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    If u worry so much about movies being meaningful and offer something valuable and informative to the world and human race then watch the news!!!..or some indie movies to show that u care more about the arts than PURE ENTERTAINMENT.

    Unless you wear Hollister and listen to Lil Wayne you shouldn’t like this movie.
