Having just seen it this morining, its one of the best action movies I've seen for a very long time

I saw the first showing at the cinema this morning- its an amazing film, there was nothing I didn't like and it just rocked in general also it didn't feel cheese'y

Yep, seemed like a very fine line between a 12a and a 15 really. I guess the lack of swearing at all (well appart from the one attempted bit by Frenzy) probably swayed it.

It did feel like Bumbleebee was influenced by Christine.

i want to see this but the wife wont go and i have a 3 year old who wont sit still for any longer than 15 seconds and i dont want to go myself. does anyone remember when the cartoons and toys were first out as i can remember them but not the year. i must have been about 9 or 10 so thats at least 21 years ago. am i right?


i have just read this and if i am right i am really old

on both counts. it was about then, i am 35 and remember them well about the same age or younger.

age catches up with us all eventually......

Now the toys transform properly though. The nipper's RX8 is quite amazing compared to 80's toys. One good thing about having a 8yr old. I can buy the transformers I could never afford as a kid

I watched it a few nights ago, it was fappin' brilliant. I was grinning and bouncing like a little kiddy all the way through it (although I was half-cut at the time), really really wanna Bumblebee

More seriously I really am impressed though, it would have been so easy for them to completely c*ck it up (and I was more than half expecting that) but they've managed not to at all. Fair enough the story line is a bit on the simple side and the characters aren't all that well developed but it's got about the right balance of cheese and humour, a fair few references for the big kids among us, and it just looks absolutely stunning

Now I've watched it I really really want a big yellow camaro! Brilliant film with the right balance of stuff going on. Lots of cool vehicles and a quite tasty bird too!

borrowed it this morning from a friend.

a great film but there just seem to be something missing, and afew things didnt add up too well.
i think the thing that bugged me the most was the way the robots got there car/plane/tank forms, i mean how do they do it just by looking at something they can copy it and become it?? dont follow the cartoons very well.
am i the only one that thought that prime was abit on the weak side when fighting megaton?

just little bits like that make me question it but over all very good.

best quote from the film

megatron
"you failed me AGAIN starscream!!"

how offen do you hear that in the cartoon

What a cracking action film! Michael Bay has his knockers (ooer) I mean Pearl Harbour still makes me twitch when I hear it's name mentioned but I reckon he's got Transformers bang on. It was cool when we came out the cinema as my seven year old son was just in total awe and kept saying things like "did you see how Megatron transformed" and "wish our car was an Autobot" It reminded me how I had been in 1977 after seeing Star Wars with my Dad for the first time, Jesus did I go on. Not putting Transformers on the same level as Star Wars for one moment, but it seemed to have a similar effect to my son as Star Wars did to me, top moment

Took my son (11.5yrs) this morning to see the film. he now wants me to sell the indy and buy an OLD camaro

I said only if i can trade your mother in for the honey in the film, she is a sort isnt she

Anyway my son loved the film and because of megan whatever her name is i enjoyed it too.

I know i wil get shouted at but still think the terminator and star wars films were better.
