Here's the thing guys: for those of you who were disappointed with the movie b'c it wasn't what you remembered as a kid, what exactly did you remember the show being? My husband made a good point (we both LOVED the movie) - the tv show was just a long, drawn out 30 min commercial every Saturday morning, that's it! In fact, Transformers was one of the first toy product lines that was made into a tv show. There were regulations before that where toy companies were banned from making shows - at least that's what DH told me so if there are inaccuracies to that statement, my bad. Plot aside, you gotta admit the movie kicked bootie. It was sweet. I had no expectation going into the movie b'c a.) I'm a girl and b.) Liked Transformers as a kid but wasn't really into it so if you go into it not expecting much, you'll get a whole lot in return!

The effects were awesome I have to admit! The only thing is, the last action scene was hard to follow. When we went to go watch it a second time though, it was much easier to follow. One of DH's co-workers said he finally went to see the movie and there were still a ton of people there!

They have already started work on the sequel. I don't know about the dinobots, but Soundwave is scheduled to appear in the sequel.

I enjoyed the movie. 8/10. The special effects were amazing, the acting was tolerable, the directing was pretty good, and the script was what it was.

I really enjoyed the first hour, the second hour dragged a bit. There's a point where I get a little numb to the endless fighting and special effects. I really enjoyed the desert combat between the human forces and the scorpion Decepticon.

I loved the movie. I grew up watching the cartoon, but I only have vague memories of it. I can't wait until this comes out on DVD so I can see the deleted scenes.

Take your pick, blond or brunette, b'c there was one of each! A TON of action and the storyline flowed. How much more of a plot could you ask for with a movie about robots seeking a cube on earth? Can't get any more complicated than that!
10 ou tof 10? WOW! What did you give a movie like Saving Private Ryan? 15 out of 10?

Heyyyyyy now, there's different genres of movies so yes, Transformers was a 10 and Saving Private Ryan was a 10 as well. One is brainless action and the other is an intense war drama. So there!

I thought the plot was great!!! I tried to get my boys to go with, but they said they didn't want me to embarass them - I tend to get a little excited and sing along with the theme songs.....
