1.) Despite the fact that a good-sized amount of us do not like how the TFs look in the movie, if the movie flops because of other reasons we will all be happy that Bay and Co. didn't use the original G1 designs and destroy the G1 nostalgia.

2.) This movie will, in no way, affect my views on Transformers in general nor any of the specific TF shows/genres respectively.

I sincerely hope that anyone who illegally downloads this movie is caught, and heavily fined or thrown in jail. I suppose in the vast list of criminal offenses, this isn't that severe, but I cannot stand thieves. If you aren't willing to pay for something others have worked hard on, they you don't get to see it. Period. By the way, I hope your parents are all happy with being failures at raising children.

Hey, if it was worth seeing it in theatres. We'd see it in theatres.

When I watch it on my computer and believe that it's worth seeing in the theatre. I'll go and see it.

I'm a pirate, and proud of it. The whole 'boo hoo you're stealing stuff that people worked hard on' schpeel is old. Obviously they didn't work hard enough on it for us to not pay to see it. Not to mention the only people getting hurt would be the crew, but then the studio already paid them.

So Bay won't be able to own his second helicopter like he wanted. It'll teach him to make better movies.

And I assume you've never illegally downloaded a thing in you life? Get real. The reason people here are downloading the movie first is because they are worried that if the pay to see it, it will a) be crap, b) Send the message to the guys that made to continue making crap movies, and c) contribute to spawning a crap sequel.

I will no doubt go and see it at the cinema, because I personally wont feel like I've really experienced it properly sat in front of my PC, but I don't hold anything against those who want to try before they buy. If those that download it find they like it I'm sure many will go see it at the cinema for the full experience and they'll go knowing they wont be waisting their money.

Fine. Maybe the comment on parents was a little harsh and un-called for. If you are going to download, fine do it. Don't try and act like there is nothing wrong with what you are doing, or that you are some sort of modern day Robin Hood, righting the wrongs and whatnot. I still say if you aren't willing to pay for it, you shouldn't get to see it. It isn't protest, its being a spoiled little child.

Perhaps something we should all take to heart.

I think the "I'll most likely pay to see it at the theatre" comment counts. It's a big step for someone who loathes this feature so much!

I like that he's at least honest about it. That counts for a lot.

What can I say, I'm a Transformers fan and despite all appearances this is a Transformers movie. Besides how will I ever know for sure its as bad as I think it's going to be if I never see it? I know one thing for sure tho, I wont be going to see this 2, 3, or 4 times like I will Spider-man 3. That is were the makes of this movie will be losing out on fan revenue.

Truer words were never spoken, Old Chum.

1) there will be a movie with robots smashing things....
2) some of my friends who "don't understand" think the movie looks cool
3) it looks better than a lot of other movies did at this stage (FF *cough*, ghost rider *cough*)
4) some girls might be interested in my transformers movie and toys

I dont download movies or anything, but anytime anyone gets mad about people "stealing" movies etc I always think of southpark....

"look at lars ulrich...he wanted a gold plated shark tank to put next to his swim up bar...but because you downloaded his CD, he will have to wait several more weeks...."

besides its the production/recording companies who produce nothing who make most of the money, not the artists.

I wont go further, I don't want to deviate the thread topic.
