Since Mouth For War and I diverge on some topics, I respect his opinion not to see the movie. He has his own particular idea of what movies he wants to see just as we all do.

I tell ya what Mouth For War, I'll go see it, and if I think you may like it based upon our past discussions I'll let you know. If I think you will not like it, I'll tell ya straight. How's that....

Also, I'll tell ya if it may be just something you wait to rent a Blockbuster....

First sign of massive shaky cam and I'll give the sign to stay away....LOL

Different tastes for different people....I'm sure the movie will be a huge hit and just like other huge hits, there will be people that it just doesn't connect to. Otherwise EVERY movie SHOULD BE A HIT because everyone SHOULD like it.

No need to be fighting over celluloid...or whatever format something is played on..

Optimus Prime is amazing/Devastator was pointless/The Twins have more screen time than any of the real autobots/Megatron and Starscream bickering is great/The Fallen looks better as an action figure.

Loved the first half of the movie, 2nd half was boring to me..

I love this film because its making fans of the first film realize how incredibly foolish they were for enjoying it. Ironically, this movie is better than the first, in a "Wow what a train-wreck" sort of way. I mean, robot heaven?

It was OK. The "Wigger-bots" got to be annoying and the plot was just all over the place. It was basically a 2 1/2 hour pg-13 toy commercial. The CG was nice and the battles were a little less confusing this time around. Walking out of the theater, I couldn't care less if they made a part 3.

JUST FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!

We saw it on the Imax, and the Imax scenes were really cool. Still not sure if the Imax is really worth $15 a ticket though, but maybe every once in a while.

There were a lot of new Transformers in it, and some kicked a lot of ass, even the ones that were only on screen for a short time. Skids and Mudflap are hysterical, while Starscream and Megatron were well done. However, I have to say that Prime stole the movie, as he was just relentless and they finally did him the way a real leader should always be done. The Fallen has a great design that is very Egyptian looking. Oh yeah, Soundwave was pretty cool, and it was nice to hear Frank Welker again. There are no scenes after the credits, so it is okay to leave once the main actor names pass through, as there is only one additional scene towards the beginning of them. It is definitely one of the coolest most action packed movies this year, but I think I'm going to stick with The Watchmen being my favorite. A definitive 4/5 stars from me. BRING ON THE NEXT ONE!!!
