This trailer was in the line-up Friday night... Excellent SQ and CG.

It had the crowd in the palm of its proverbial hand...

... right up to the point where the Director's name appeared on-screen;

... when half of the audience groaned;

... and then the title appeared;

... and the other half joined them.

More later,

    Michael Bay isn't bad as long as you don't try to take the stuff he does seriously. You know what you're getting with him, ridiculously absurd, over the top directing and usually a movie that's quite fun.

    I generally like his stuff for what it is, but could never imagine him trying to direct something like Inception.

    I dug the first 2. Not great but worth a watch. With Spielberg having his hand in it, Ill definitely check it out.

    Sucks no Megan Fox so we'll have to look at that idiot Shera LeBou or whateve the hell his name is. Cannot freaking stand that guy! Looks like a 12 year old girl but tries to act like Clint Eastwood.

    Transformers 2 was one of the worst movies ever. I mean the amount of dollars spent verses the amount of suck on the screen is amazing. It eclipses all sh!!ty movies that came before it. There is nothing redeeming about this film whatsoever. I can't believe you idiots keep giving that no talent Bay money. :confused:

    You know what would have been really cool? If they didn't "21st century up" Transformers. These aren't exactly the Transformers I played with as a kid in the 80s or watched on TV. Granted it's not high class drama, but watching the whole series, there was a pretty decent story arc. I think there are plenty of fans new / old / casual who'd have dug a more familiar story.

    I wasn't all that thrilled w/ the second movie either, but let's see how the 3rd one goes. Either way, it's something I'll go see :)

    That and the fact Bay said in an interview that he screwed up #2 and won't be making that mistake with this one.

    Saw it in 3D but not necessary. First half was boring and the setup was too long. Second half was exciting and action packed. F/x excellent.

    SPOILER ALERT

























    This movie if f***ing garbage. I am THE BIGGEST TRANSFORMERS fan and this is no more than an alien invasion movie. There is hardly any Transformer action sequences involving other transformers and if there is - you can see them in the commercials. WHAT GARBAGE.

    The attempt to make a story was so FORCED and unnecessary. Jesus christ - what a load of crap. Maybe my expectations were so high or so different than what was just presented to me but I kept checking the time, I was bored - just... what a piece of crap.

    Just a horrible movie - one of the worst I have seen. If I had went to see Battle for Los Angeles this may be a different story but there was so LITTLE Transformer character action or appearances in this movie it should not be called Transformers.

    I give this 1 out of 10 stars.

    Garbage, pure and utter garbage.

    Love,
    A disheartened TF fan!

    SPOILER ALERT*************
















    The model is hot. Totally hot, great eye candy!

    The problem - she isnt a robot who can kick ****. So she adds nothing to the film - absolutely nothing. The only thing that could make her worth while would be a decepticon killing her in public, Sam getting so pissed he actually made the Autobots in this film grow a pair and actually be able to kick **** without the aid of humans.

    Oh wait - that would be a completely different movie than this one.

    Still fuming over the crap this movie is.

    The first half the movie was mostly unnecessary! There was so much crap thrown in as just filler material. Sam's parents...why were they even there? Not funny in the slightest! Sam's life had become...worthless. Here ya go kid, here's two annoying robots, now get lost!

    The last half of the movie was fun, not mindblowing, but just fun.

    Michael Bay gets so lost in worrying about the effects, that he's just clueless about how to put together a complete 2 hour movie. Let's see, we need filler...throw in the parents. Hmm, we need more filler...thrown in the Sector 7 douchebag who is not funny. Let's see, how can we waste more time...let's send Sam on some job interviews. How about we throw in a blazing hot chick that no way in hell a guy like him could ever score! First half done...now...ON TO THE EFFECTS!!!
    No excuses!

    Kinda surprised at your comments Trey. The reviews are coming in that it's better then #2 but not as good as the first, and you said you loved the second film.

    Dude I was so pumped to see this.

    It just isnt a Transformers movie.

    Spoiler***************







    Here is what I wrote to a friend about it -

    there is literally a scene in the movie where the humans launch the Autobots into space and are gone from the entire movie for a good 40 minutes. FORTY MINUTES OF NO AUTOBOTS! The movie is 2 hours and 30 minutes - so that is what... 1/4 the film where it is not even possible that there is robot vs robot scenes?

    1/2 the movie is trying to build the new female character role which is an incredible hot model - but the problem is no one gives a crap about the hot model. People want to see Optimus Prime kick ****. Infact - if they want to expand upon her character - have a Decepticon KILL HER. That would make it awesome.

    So now that we have covered that 3/4 of the movie involves no robot action and alot of human fluff and BS. That brings us to the other 1/4 of the movie where there is some robot vs robot action but the humans assist in most of it and its so polished with 3-D BS that it actually makes you yawn to watch it.
