Good Points: The dvd case is a transformer! Great action sequences!

Bad Points: It's like watching a GM commercial for 1.5 hours

General comments: AMAZING cgi and very engulfing human aspect to the story, especially the Marine fight sequences.
Some bold departures from the original cartoon storyline that paid off- megatron, not a gun, but a futuristic fighter jet(gen 2)
Bumblebee-a camaro, not a VW
the allspark?, no energon cubes, the ability of transformers to emulate other machines in their environment.

The special edition dvd offers A LOT of special, behind the scene action and shows just how hard it was to make this movie.

I was kind of disappointed as I expected it to be more of a film for the grown ups (considering we are the ones who actually remember what Transformers was!), but it is actually a film for the kiddies.

OK, if you are 10 years old!

Transformers is outrageous, stupid fun and you should see it on the biggest screen you can find.

The year was 1987. I remember sitting down in the cinema, with my friend and his mum and I watched Optimus Prime die. His life force faded away before my 7 year old eyes, and his words have stayed with me ever since: "Do not grieve. Soon I shall be one with the matrix."

I have waited 20 years, almost to the day, to be able to sit down in the cinema and watch a big-rig turn into the leader of the Autobots. Hearing those first words from Peter Cullen (the voice of Optimus, both old and new) mea ...

Great movie. Actually had a good storyline. I figured Transformers to be a menage of CGI strung together by a lame storyline. Boy was I wrong!!
This movie wont win any major awards, but the entertainment value is a 10 of 10.
