Read the review: http://www.timewastersguide.com/review/1561/Transformers

Sounds pretty good--I had no high hopes for this, but it's getting raves or near-raves almost across the board.

Didn't I post about this? I think I went looking for the old thread and gave up. At any rate, I saw this Friday morning as a company preview, and I LOVED it. It's both hilarious and action-packed. I think they went the right way to make it funny--if it had been serious, it would have ended up corny. I recommend seeing it--in fact I'm taking my new nephew (my brother just got married a couple weeks ago, it's my new SIL's 11-year-old son) to see it next week.

I just got back the the theater! This was a pretty good movie. The robots were excellent, and the action/drama/comedy of it all was fantastic. I do recommend everyone go see this if you were ever a fan of the Transformers. You won't be sorely disappointed.

My husband and I snuck away from this kids on the weekend to see this movie.  I'd seen some trailers and just about wet my self.  My husband was die-hard Transformers fan when he was a kid and was just as eager.  I must admit I came out of there feeling like a little kid. 

I loved the amount of action and comedy in it.  The special effects were unbelievable and the acting was bad either.  Needless to say we are taking the kids it this weekend and I'm just as excited about seeing a second time as I was about the first.

Go Optimus Prime! When I was six I had a crush on him (weird heh! - a crush on a robot.....still twisted)

I saw this yesterdy along with many other indivuals in a crowded theater. It was a fun movie to watch even if some of the people in the theater were being rude.

I felt as though this movie was produced by Cartoon Network.

FYI, there have been 14 Transformer animated series made to date. Another animated Transformer show is in production to cash in on this movie.
