Just saw it in the previews all i have to say is live freakn action baby wooohooo, and like the they gave it was a complete teaser.

heres one of many teaser trailers to come as well.

http://www.transformersmovie.com/.

All I have to say is when everyone saw the trailer and from the sites i visted everyone was in a uproar of waiting for this movie to come out. I can't wait either they got partial cast so far but they don't list the voice actors for the robots yet

that movie looks a bit odd to me... lol maybe its just because i dont think i liked the trailer well enough to go and see it...

but maybe some day i will go to see it

I hope I see it on July 4th. I am told it is going to be directed by Michael Bay (The Rock, Bad Boys) and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Anyway, I hope this movie is going to be the blockbuster. I'm glad the Peter Cullen is going to be the voice of Optimus Prime once again. And I was a little dissapointed that Frank Welker won't be voicing Megatron this time. It will be voiced by Hugo Weaving, best known as Agent Smith from the Matrix movies, V from V for Vendetta, and one of the elf elders for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I like the new Autobots and Deceptions' form in the movie. I was dissapionted that Sideswipe, my favorite Autobot won't be in the film, but Bumblebee's new car form makes up of it: It's a Chevrolet Camaro, the new one. I love Camaros. And Jazz, Racther and the other Autobots in their car forms as GM vehicles are interesting. I am a little concerned about Megatron's new form, it's weird that he is a odd-looking fighter-type. And for Starscream, he's a F-22 Raptor fighter jet. I would like to see other Deceptions like Soundwave and Laserbeak be in this, but for right now, they will do.

I see the trailers in the Internet and and theaters for long now. I was wondering if they will release the new trailer soon. Anyway, my favorite scenes from the trailer is one of the Deceptions attacks a desert base full of soldiers and tanks and the scene where one of the Deceptions smash a LA bus to pieces. I hope to see more action scenes in the new trailer soon.

Overall, I can't wait to see the movie. I was wondering if they will have the new version of the song "The Touch" which was featured in the 1986 animated film. Hopefully I will put all doubts aside with the new film. Autobots, transform and rool out!

I don't think Michael Bay is the right director for this film but with the trailers out I think he may have done a fairly good job at it.

I am excited that Transformers has been resurrected along with all the other vintage stories we've been getting but I have a nagging suspicion that it might come out a bit wrong.

You see, whether you may have noticed it or not, every "vintage" movie made the past few years has been changed or in some cases "modernized" to the detrement of the movie. It seems that movie writers aren't going mainstream these days. X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Punisher, Hulk, are all storylines where certain changes not only didn't make sense, but made no sense.

Example, in "Hulk", Hulk's powers were stretched beyond sense; the Hulk is super strong not super rubbery, so why did bullets make his skin jiggle like flab as opposed to hitting stone chiseled muscle?

Spider-Man; why exactly did the writers go for the "more organic" power outlet? The common story, the mainstream one, is that Peter Parker learns/conceives how to manufacture the webbing. For it to come out of his wrists is OK but in doing so it kind of takes away from his science nerd persona.

Fantastic Four. Dr Doom is a coneited villain (they got that right) but since when does he start turning into medal? The story goes that he gets a minor cut, a small imperfection, and his conceited nature drives him mad. He obsesses over that imperfection and so he dons the mask so no one can see how "hideous" he is. Again, if they did it to enhance the story all they did was add a cheap gimmick at the expense of undermining the main villain.

But I digress, I just hope they don't do the same thing to my beloved Transformers.

Dangerman's review of Transformers

Transformers
Directed by Michael Bay
Released by Paramount Pictures/Dreamworks Pictures

After sitting thourgh Spider-Man, Shrek and Pirates 3, I’m happy to say that Transformers is finally the real summer movie to see. I was a fan of the toys and the cartoon from the 1980’s and I was not disappointed in the new movie. It’s better than the other summer movies I’ve seen so far, and it’s also better than the 1986 animated movie. I never thought I’d see the day that Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg, two rival movie directors nine years ago, would join forces for this.

The story goes as the Autobots and Decepticons race towards Earth to fine an alien cube called the “Allspark”, which gives mechanical objects life and the purpose of doing evil. The Autobots wants to destroy it before Megatron and his minions use it to conquer the universe. The key to finding the Allspark lies with an ordinary teenager, Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBouf), whose great grandfather’s possessions hold clues to the cube’s whereabouts.

The action scenes are spectacular from the get-go. The opening scenes in which two Decepticon operatives infiltrated and destroys a US military base in Qatar in the Middle East is intense and pulse-pounding. The car chases is fast and furious, and the final battle in Los Angeles, which includes Optimus Prime and Megatron going at it through skyscrapers and city streets, rivals most of the climatic scenes in the last few movies of this summer. This movie is more lighthearted than the earlier summer releases and the animated movie; the comic scenes are a nice touch, and some of the supporting players added more laughs.

The voice casting of Peter Cullen, reprising his animated series role as Optimus Prime is remarkable and feels right. I love when Optimus repeats his lines from the movie “One shall stand, the other will stand” and his motto for his toy counterpart “Freedom is the right of all sufficient beings”. Hugo Weaving (aka Agent Smith from the Matrix trilogy) is hardly recognizable as the voice of Megatron. Which is a letdown, considering that I’m a fan of Weaving, and I wish Frank Welker reprising his role as Megatron for this.

The special effects were awesome. Kudos to the wizards of ILM brings the robots to life. The Autobots’ vehicle forms are also one to be amazed at. Bumblebee sacrificed his cartoon VW Bug form for one of my most favorite cars, the Chevrolet Camaro, is a smart move on his part. Frenzy, the Decepticon spy, is sort of like the villainous comic henchman type but as cool weaponry like his launched blades of death.

In conclusion, Transformers is a great movie, a perfect distraction from the semi-serious offering so far this summer. I hope it makes box office records and hope it still holds off against the new Harry Potter adventure. Highly recommended.

8.5/10

Errm, errm. Ahh transformers the movie. Might go see it some day but didn't like the trailer very much, and why can't bumble bee be a VW beetle? *sobs* I wonder how it'll do against HP OFTP

Transformers is a very good movie.

I grew up watching the cartoons and was hook to the "Kooohh...koohhh....kAhhh..kkkaaahkk" sound when they transform.

Was able to watch the Live Action 2 weeks ago and it rocks. It was just the way I imagined it to be when I was just a kid. It still is like an introduction so there isn't much fight scenes. However, watch the details of the transformations. And you just don't get to smile while watching the movie, you will also laugh with the comic scenes.

If you're an cartoon and/or anime fan. This is a must-see.. *Winks.
