I watched this movie at the theatre with my son and nephews. We all loved the movie and will be purchasing the DVD upon release. I thought the animation was brilliant. It was a fun story line that young and old could enjoy. I loved the Camero, fun scene where it goes from clunker to top of the line model. Great entertainment value. I look forward to watching it again.

When I heard that a new installment of Transformers was being released, I thought to myself, "alright, more then meets the eye, and Soundwave saying Megatron." I was in old school heaven, I re-watched my old seasons of the iconic 80's half hour toy commercial. But then I found out that Michael Bay is directing it and Speilberg was producing, so then this would be made into huge production with amazing effects a true landmark. But then I found out this movie was live action, first uh oh, but to give the movie its due it is remarkable at what can be done in from a green screen. CG has hit a new mark with this movie and how the real characters interact with the computer generated robots. This movie is quite a spectacle, and surprise, surprise there will definately be a second movie, which will make the first much, much better. br / br /As a devotee to the original franchise of Transformers I was happy that Optimus Prime was voice acted by the original voice actor from the cartoon. Unfortunately, this is where the praise to this film ends. This film lacks a great many things that would make this a true blockbuster, and I realize many people enjoyed this movie; personally, a movie that takes place on "Planet America" with the main characters falling into a formula that is reminiscent of Independence Day, with there being the annoying, geeky, and social awkward all-Amerincan teen male with a really bad sarcastic sense of humour, the hot and popular all-American love interest, and extremely underaged girl with mini mini skirts. The Yo-joe, pro American hero solider/new father and family man trying to make it home. And this entire movie takes place on Planet America, with a scene in Qatar, but this is just a setting to introduce the soldier and his disposable soldier buddies. Basically, the Transformers are much more interesting and their acting is much, much more believable compared to the human actors, sad when a bunch of computer generated robots are more convincing, maybe in the next film they could make the humans CG too, since none of the acting is that interesting or inspired. This movie is about the product placement, a la car companies, Mountain Dew and a Microsoft, so in a way this is a big commercial, much like the cartoon from the 80's only on a more massive scale, with only a few references other countries in conversation only which limits the focus of this movie down to just something that happens in a certain place instead of a global threat. Throw in Jon Voigt because he needs to make some money, as the secretary of state, who doesn't really inspire anything asides saying 'robots' in a charming southern accent. Let me say this Shia LeBeouf or however his name may be spelled is beyond horrible, I couldn't even remember anything interesting or memorable about his character asides a pathetic attempt to be sarcastic and funny, most of the movie I was hoping that Shilo the Beef would die, or at least get maimed, but no such luck. Get some nice explosions and very corny dialogue, this movie is nothing more then eye candy. br / br /My girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed this movie just for the CG robots and the large and grandeos battles; however, if you're a person who enjoys story, character, conflict and development you might want to smoke something or be half awake, this is not a great movie that will capivate you for almost 3 hours in fact chances are you'll forget what they're fighting for. Here's the test, watch this movie, rent, don't buy it, but at the end of the movie ask yourself what was the name of any of the lead character, and that's the mark of a forgetable movie, for sure you'll remember the names of the Transformers, but not all the characters. br / br /This movie is good for small kids, if you're hoping for the original Transformers or even an adaptation of the battle for energon, then sorry this isn't the movie for you. Poor acting, and a lackluster and disposable story, with amazing visuals makes for a big blockbuster, ahhh well what can be expected from Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg? Something original and inspired?
