   2 Man, you’ll hardly notice Optimus’s lips unless you’re one of those that is just deadset against hating the idea from the beginning with a burning passion. Me and my friends hated the idea of the lips as well, but when we saw the movie we didn’t mind it at all and it’s hardly a big thing in the movie.

   3 I wasn’t entirely sold on the whole Transformers movie, but went to watch it with my family. And I found it to be the funniest movie I’d seen in months. I don’t watch movies very often, mind you, but I can’t honestly think of any other movie in recent history that made me laugh so much. The Transformers themselves are cool, but if you’re hoping to relive your childhood (as so many “adult” moviegoers seem to be trying to do with all these remakes of old TV shows hitting the big screen) you’ll be disappointed. There is no going back - we’re all jaded cynics now. But there’s no reason this movie can’t entertain you on it’s own merits. That said - we caught the matinee ourselves. ^_^ It was worth it - much less crowded theater, better seats available to all, no screaming children… and a whole lot of amused and entertained people.

   4 Holy Crap! Are you still pussy-footing around Transformers? Watch it and stop making a big deal out of whether you should or not. How many more “I’m going to see it…nah…I’ll wait….oopps I’ll go watch it….nahhh” articles are we going to have on Angryzen? LOL.

   5 If you’re a diehard fan of the original series, you may not like this movie - they changed too much. If you were able to sit down and accept that every series since then has its merits, you may like this movie - Optimus and Megatron are still Optimus and Megatron. (And if you particularly like the Classics line, the new toys will annoy the crap out of you.) The only real problem with the movie is, you end up telling Transformer A from Transformer B apart by color, and Bay’s fondness for quick shots is hard on the eyes. If you sit down and really think about it (maybe even read his character bio on Wikipedia), whatshisface’s death is _really_ ironic, to the point that they had to have planned it as such.

   6 Yeah seriously, if you see it at least once in your life time, see it on the silver screen

   7 I need to go see this thing again, I had so much fun. Granted, I didn’t grow up on TF like a lot of guys, but because of the movie I’ve become a fan: Go see the movie and write your OWN review. We all want to see what t3h Angry Zen Master has to say about this thing.

   8 People need to stop complaining that all of these remakes are raping their childhood and accept the new movies for what they are: Movies for a new generation that are designed to entertain you for the time you spend sitting in a theater. This movie was fun to watch.

   9 To put things in context: I’m 25 and still have Jetfire, Blaster and Soundwave on my shelf (Optimus didn’t survive childhood). I loved transformers, I still love transformers, and I loved this movie. So much so, that I’ve seen it twice since it opened a week ago. It was funny and engaging, there was a love story that didn’t dominate the plot, and there was plenty of giant robot action, right from the get go. No, it’s not a movie adaptation of the original series cartoon. They did that already, remember? Transformers: The Movie, anyone? This is different. Not a single one of the transfomers, Autobot or Decepticon, transforms into the same vehicle that they used to. But dammit, they all transform and they all look cool doing it. Shit explodes, Prime uses his energy sword, Bumblebee is Sam Witwicky’s friend….IT’S STILL TRANSFORMERS. And it rocks. If you love Transformers, the only way you could not enjoy this movie is if you had your mind made up to be completely pedantic and cynical on the way in.
