I’m glad to say I’ll continue contributing to the money the movie is making.

Will go see it tomorrow. My grandson (a huge Transformers fan) went to the 7/4/7 premiere in Cape Cod. I assume he’ll want to see it, oh, maybe 20 more times. ;-)

That last battle was so awesome it totally melted my face off. But still, it left a little bit to be desired. Would have liked a little more on the descepticons. And what about the minor Transformers groups? Must we wait for a sequal to see the Insecticons, Constructicons, and the Dinobots?

Michael Moore will be lucky to remain in the Top 10! :)

I want to see Grimlock on the big screen.

It would be like a wet dream for me to be in a Transformers movie, whether as a physical actor or a voice actor.

Saw Live Free Or Die Hard last night. Laughed so hard my sides hurt at what they said computers can do, but all in all it is a great summer popcorn film. Shooting oneself to shoot the bad guy brings badassness up to a new level.

I would have been more satisfied perhaps with that famous Dino-bot line “Me Grimlock!”

I took my wife to see this movie. I felt very lucky, she freaks out if I watch the ‘85 version at home or the actual series.

We took the family to see Transformers last night. The movie theater was packed. The audience clapped and cheered throughout the movie. My own husband clapped with the other men in the audience when the old beat up Camero “transformed” into a 2009 Camero. lol.

The movie was a lot of fun. My only real complaint was the some language and subject matter was a bit too colorful for the younger kids.

I thought the same and since my 10 year old daughter wasn't interested in going, my wife was the lucky one on one of our rare nights out together!

I went to see it at 9:30 am Wed morning with my two teenaged daughters (i’m a 37 y/o mom). There were about 10 people in the audience, including several sitting-alone geeky kind of guys. LOVED IT!!!! Went back to the 9:30 am again this morning, and will probably go back next week. BEST. MOVIE. EVER. Enjoyed it more than “300.”

This is one reason to hate weekends at Jim’s house (FR).

“Shooting oneself to shoot the bad guy brings badassness up to a new level”

WORD! And he managed to workin the yipi-ky-yi-a mother....as he pulled the trigger. The daughter seems to have developed a NY attitude as well.

Side note - the opening scene featured a ham radio set - IC28 - just like the one sitting in the shack. Old school.
