Was quite good. I've never seen any of the old cartoons but i enjoyed it. The action scenes were unbelievable. The script and acting are somewhat cringeworthy but who goes to a Michael Bay film to see plot and dialogue?

It'll probably become my favourite movie.

In the way that your favourite NRL player isn't the best player, but the one who does right all the things you find important.

Just like Star Wars, Transformers hit all the right buttons for me.

I saw this last night. I went in with an open mind but wasn't expecting much - really haven't liked the other cartoon adaptions (xmen, superman, spiderman etc etc).

I was blown away.

A few people have mentioned bad acting, and cringe-worthy lines, however, I found this not to be the case (unlike the other movies mentioned earlier). It was by no means oscar stuff, but for me there were no cringe worthy lines. There were places where I was thinking 'Ah here comes the soppy', but to my surprise they refrained. The comedy was delivered almost flawlessly.

The effects - wow. You know, there are a lot of CG movies now and it was hard to think effects could get better but jeez this was a different level. I can't help but wonder whether or not this will translate to the small screen well enough - from what I saw this HAS to be watched at the cinema.

Agree with that, I thought the acting was quite good for a Cg blockbuster.

Shia Lebeouf and Megan Fox were on the whole adequate. Anthony Anderson as always was rediculous, John Turturro even worse, and whoever that blonde aussie chick was, seemed like she was straight out of home and away.

As for cringeworthy lines, how about the big speech Sam gives "looking back don't you want to say you had the courage to get back in the car?"

or the geek cameo going on about how it was 100 times cooler than armageddon.

ÿou can do this!! your a soldier now!!

don't see too many movies then?

:roll: Yeah, I do have a life....if you don't like the movie then why hate on people's opinions.....btw, on a related note, I love when movie nerds analyse every single thing about a movie as if it's the meaning of life or something close to it....

Hate on? f**k sorry homie. you transformers nerds take your autobots pretty seriously hey?

Who's analysing every single thing about the movie? Noones drawing parallels with subtle nuances and political allegories here. Are we not supposed to discuss movies in this movie thread on a discussion board?
