Default Transformers

BOMB ASS movie. Pissed they didn't all united to take on Megatron like in the old school (where all of Autobots united onto Optimus) but it was still awesome.

Scav gives it 3.5 Scavs out of 4

Dude, I did to, Transformers were my like 5 to 8 stage of life, still have the toys somewhere I think. I saw some youngins there and I asked them, "So have you seen the old school transformers?" and they looked at me like I was crazy.

The movie is worth the $10 it cost me to get in though, not many of them are now days

It's not the movie.

I had no clue what an Autobot or Optimus is....that's what makes me feel old. You're talking Old School and I'm too old to know Old School.

You know what, I did know and when he said "c'mon Dad let's go to the 3:50 show" I said "Buddy, EC is racing in a little while we'll go later" Then he said, "you have DVR Dad, record it" So it was off to movies and I watched it when I got home....He looked good...

Now for the movie!!! It rocked!! I was surprised...I was a little ahead of the transformers explosion so I really didn't know the characters or anything, but I was really entertained the whole time....There are some really nice theaters where we go near my house and they just installed I guess what is supposed to be the next big thing in theater screens....it's digital HD/DLP....it rocked...now I have HD at home, but that's a whole other level....so for those of you that are debating on whether or not to go see it, just know that this skeptic jumped through the front door after seeing it last night, scared the bejesus out of the misses when I yelled out OPTIMUS PRIME!!!

I'm told they did not need any special effects because the script was riveting.

This movie will make a ton of money. All those kids who grew up with these things... brilliant targeting.

didn't they used to market toys after the movie instead of vice versa?

on a completely seperate note, has michael bay ever made a movie that wasn't a soulless sled of steaming manure?

i think they found the right director for this travesty.

i could not figure out during the last 1/2 hour who was retreating, who was advancing, or why i should care.
