...is an ass.

The wife and I just got in from seeing Transformers.

What a total piece of crap. Plot holes, bad acting, very little to do with the Hasbro universe , a cornicopia of poop.

I went with no expectations and was still disapointed.

I am complelely baffeled how Michael Bay gets money.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'd find it hard to believe it could be any worse than Fantastic IV: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Holy crap, that was baaaaaaad!

I went in worried and I came out happy. Sorry, I wasn't expecting the strongest plot from a movie based on a toy line / cartoon series designed to sell the toy line.

All things considered in balance, from the effects to the moral of the story, it was a solid, summer popcorn-eating-time blockbuster.

Okay then, this is beautiful, a virtual butting of heads. dibenga tells us how he REALLY feels, and NBiBooker gives it 2 thumbs up. Priceless!

I won't likely rent it, it's not my thang, but I will enjoy reading other opinions on this movie. I'm interested now.

Okay, fine, maybe I'll rent it.

I thought it was awesome. Tonnes of action sequences, lots of explosions, and a little humour sprinkled throughout. WTF else do you expect from a movie about giant robots who transform into vehicles? Turn your brain off and enjoy the ride.

A friend of mine said it was awesome...even the story line. Not sure what to believe as he said Fast and Furuis was awesome. I refused to see it. I finally pryed him out with "was to story awesome or the cars?".... 'nuff said, the cars were awesome... exactly.

Having said that, I am a Transformers fan....like what was mentioned, turn the brain off, let your inner child out and watch the movie...then I'll decide.

Be thankful you did not see "License to Wed"...

True very true... But I DID see 'Knocked up' and laughed till my sides hurt. Now there is a movie that was worth the ticket price.

MACSPECTRUM

i'll just wait until these movies come onto the movie networks, which doesn't sound like I'll have to wait very long

I just saw Transformers and quite liked it. It got the feel right of a simple epic struggle and had great action mixed with enough humour to keep it from getting too serious too often. Some lazy writing and a slow middle hurt a little, but still recommended.

It should have had more cheesy 80s rock like the original transformers movie.
