Has anyone seen Transformers yet?? If not, you should really go! That movie was great. The best that I have seen in a long time!
I agree!
When I saw the new Die Hard movie last week, I thought it is the best movie this summer. I was wrong!
Transformers beat it hands down
It was better than great! It was EXCELLENT!!! We saw it in digital (only a few theaters in our area have it in digital) and the graphics were incredible! If you have a chance to see it in digital vs. normal film, I highly recommend it! I wish they would show it at the IMAX--that would be awesome too!
I so want to see Live Free Die Hard--have been a "die hard" Die Hard Fan since they very beginning. And who can pass up an opportunity to see Bruce...
Transformers was awesome! But,
**Spoiler Alert***
If the glasses were etched with the location of the All Spark in Antarctica, how did Prime know it was in Nevada by using the glasses? Seems like the glasses would have been etched with the old location (Antarctica). I'm sure I missed something somewhere, can't imagine there would be a plot hole this big.

I seem to recall someone said that Megatron's spaceship got disoriented by the Earth's magnetic field and mistakenly landed in the North Pole. The cold of the North deactivated him. The glasses did have Nevada etched on it.
Exactly Miriel! LOL I do remember them mentioning the crash. I think what confuses me the most is that the glasses were etched in the 1910s and the the dam was built around the All Spark in the 30s. Plus, a friend of mine keeps trying to poke holes in the plot, which made sense to me when I watched it!
Hubby says that when the government found the All Spark, they built the Hoover Dam around it so it will cover the energy coming from the cube and no one will know it's there.
Yes. He's a geek - watched Transformers a lot in the 80s too
Is it okay for kids? We haven't taken our children but they really want to see it (they watch stuff like Jurassic Park and The Mummy).
I guess I'm not really that into this kind of movie, my 8 year old loves his transformers though. He can't wait until Tuesday, the GM transformer sale is over then and the service manager promised my boys all the posters from it.

If they have watched JP--which has bloody stuff--Tranformers is definitely okay. No bloody stuff--you know people are dying, they just don't really show it. There is just lots of action and really cool effects with the robots changing and fighting.
miriel, I agree with you about the crash and the glasses. Funny, I grew up with the transformers too--LOVED them! I was such a tom-boy! My hubby grew up with them too and rated Transformers as one of his all-time favorites--even above Star Wars!

My hubby says this is sacrilege
I look forward to seeing this movie, especially since it has gotten pretty good reviews from you folks and the ones on another forum I frequent. I just have to wait for it to come to our theater. I'm in a very small town and our theater just has one movie each weekend.
For kids, there are so make-out scenes and a questionable scene where Bumblebee "lubricates" (goes #1 on) a cop.
Can't wait to see this. DH and I both watched it years ago as kids and were hooked. 20 years later and I still love it.
Thanks for this post. I had to be out of the house monday, while we had our carpet installed, so we went to the movies. Because of this post I chose Transformers and it was great. I hate to admit that I watched this when I was younger, but I had brothers. Transformers and G.I. Joe were always on after school. My hubby has kept all his toys and the kids play with them now.
Anyway, back to the movie. For a transition from a cartoon to a live action movie, it was excellent. I found it great when Optomus Prime's voice was a match from the cartoon show. Like I said, I'm embarrassed to admit this stuff, but it was very good. The kids loved it. Definitely a movie you should see on the big screen. It was like seeing "Charlie's Angels" special effects for the first times and being amazed.
The adult content was not too big of a deal for my kids, ages 3, 6, and 8. The girls is a quite sexy, but nothing bad. The part with the lubricating on the guy, my kids thought it was from his stomach, didn't come across as obvious as I thought it would. The make-out scene was pretty mild I thought.
I also admit that I had no intentions of seeing this movie because how can you turn that cartoon into a movie without being cheesy??? But, thanks to you all, I went. If you were talking about it, it had to be a good idea. Even my 3 year old pinker than pink little girl gives it 2 thumbs up!!!
