I think the movie did pretty well, no matter what any of you think. And I think that's all that matters.

Bay wins! TF2!

this movie. I'm sitting there trying to follow mom and pop's
gardening tips and learning a little about ebay
and these robot mayhem machines just kept ruining the plot.
I was a little disappointed Sam didn't have like a little
sister to tag along with him. What were they thinking.
I should write the script for TF2, then we could get all that
'robot' nonsense outta there. :MAD:


i almost discharged my iced tea all over my tea board after reading this. i nearly forgot about the garden! god what an amazing garden it was. i wanted to make my own. and what about the non-humans like the dog. i think the dog should have its own spin off tv show.

wait so people went to see Transformers for the robots and NOT the girl genius hacker and her plucky token sidekick who could have been cut from the movie because they were totally useless and unimportant? *sarcasm*

To the person who mentioned the CGI cost,they should have made the movie like they made FF the sprits within.

Don't tell me people liked the giant fighting robots more than the annoying squeaking squishies? No Way!

Hasbro will be happy that people liked Bumblebee most, he has been the focus of their advertising and toys. Not like any other bot or con had a chance though, Bumblebee was the only one to get any decent amount of screen time.

Absolutely right. I think Hollywood went in the wrong direction trying and make Shia and Megan Fox into the stars of the movie. They did this not only through the script writing but also through the publicity.

Well d'uh! The human cast didn't even have action figures made for them which IMHO was a mistake. No real extra exposure outside the movie.

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

What the hell do toys have to do with this? The humans aren't unpopular because they didn't get toys.
