But what idea? Spielberg's idea of bringing electronics to life? I can't stand that idea.

I have to admit that I didn't like that idea either. It didn't even work in the movie. What was shown was cool, like the killer cell phone and the pop machine shooting cans of pop. They created these things but very little was done with it, and it was never resolved, that's part of the thin plot. The Allspark creating the Transformers and turning a rock into Cybertron is fine as an easy origin, but doing what it did in the movie just didn't work.

Funny I enjoyed ff Though I was expecting it to be just as silly and goofy as the last one I duno why everyone figured this one would be a billion times better :S

Just ignore anything negative you have read about the movie don't even think about anything you have read about the movie other than the fact that it is good when you go see it

I just arrived from the movie theater. Here are my impressions about the movie:

+ Very interesting characters
+ CGI
+ Most of the acting is quite OK

- Product placement is quite annoying (GMC, XBOX, ...)
- Not enough character development (hopefully, the sequel will have more)

As a whole, I really enjoyed the movie. I will go see it again and can't wait for it to be out on BlueRay!

Oh man! Oh man! Ohhhh mmmaaannnn!!!!
What a kick a** movie.
I loved it. The transformations, the battles, the quotes, even Prime's lips I found to be great. It gave him more character and the ability to express emotions much like Optimus Primal.

I also love how they pulled in other factor's from different TF series (ie Sparks).
The VA's rocked, and I love the fact that many of the Decepticons survived and will most probably be seen in Transformers II.

Worth the 4 yrs of waiting ... ... now ... how long until 2010?

[Razorwing]

I loved it. I was AWESOME.

[Protoman]

10 out of 10, the movie was a perfect balance of humour, character and ACTION! I don't know what to say...... the audience loved it.

Guess what I just saw :P

It was amazing and to make my review neutral I took 3 people with me that cover the 3 types of people who will see this film.
Viewer #1) A hardcore TF fan/collector
Viewer #2) A softcore TF fan/non-collector
Viewer #3) A neutral TF fan (doesn't love or hate)

and the final quotes from each
Viewer #1) "OMFG I'm seeing it at least 2 more times"
Viewer #2) "Holy crap remember when (insert any action scene here)"
Viewer #3) "I can honestly say that was one of the best movies I've ever seen" (and this is one of those people who usually say afterwards "it was ok, I won't want to see it again but it was ok")

I really don't know what I can say about it. Some parts were alittle drawn on but I'll shoulder that feeling to me wanting to see more robots. Some said previously that we don't know why the robots are fighting. Listen closley and you find out why, they don't throw everything at you in this movie but if you pay attention you'll catch on. Characters were well developed and Frenzy (though annoying at times) was not over done and his annoying nature kinda lives up to his G1 character including his loyalty to the decepticon cause. Originally there were things that I thought would bother me like Prime without a mouth plate, the storyline, and some (not all) of the character designs. The action was just plain mind blowing and in the end it all woked out well and couldn't have asked for a greater film and one of the best ways I've spent 2.33 hours in a long long time. Since we have a good feeling there will be a sequal, this movie sets the franchise up well as a good introductory story. The potential is there for another great Transformers film with more of our favourite G1 characters and maybe even some new and interesting characters.
