Did you book tickets?

I'd like to see it too, but I'll probably save it as an end-of-week treat. I was a fan of the cartoon as a kid, didn't much like the erratic movement in the first CGI movie.

No, but the new theater by us is NEVER busy. It's awesome too. Regarding Imax, my boy's lady will take care of that.

Watched it the other day. Have to say, I quite enjoyed it, though the first one I thought was better. I do like the characters a bit more in second though.

I enjoyed it, a bit too long though. The mom was great and the humor worked well. The opening scene was lackluster, fortunately it picked up.

Transformers was racist and sexist. No wonder it got a 20% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Honestly, how could people enjoy this?

gotta agree with kabrams here. I felt that the first movie was good because of spielberg's influence. Here, we get a convoluted story and very limited screentime from some of the transformers. And yes, the action was good but an interested plot makes it even more enjoyable...

I went and saw it yesterday. I actually found it to be funny and enjoyable. Much better than I expected after being disappointed with the first one, a pleasant surprise!

Well, Transformers has always been geared towards boys.

Once the My Little Pony or Care Bears live-action movies come out, I won't complain.

the first one left me feeling slapped around, frenzied, like trying to hurry through heavy traffic or chill with an attention deficit disorder

my friend and i saw the first one on a saturday afternoon and it gave both of us a bit of a headache, of course, we were working in small towns, where the pace of life was much more relaxing than that movie was (yet we both like a good action movie, only, transformers wasn't it)

Does Megan Cox, or whatever her name is, get naked? Or something?

Terrible film. The only good thing was the GI Joe trailer beforehand and, particularly, Sienna Miller Laughing

I would never pay to see that movie. If a friend invited me to see that movie I would have to re-consider our friendship. Michael Bay is an asshat.
