Bloody amazing!
Peter Cullen deserves an Oscar. Seriously.

Why the heck was it delayed so long in the UK? You speak english don't you?

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Go see it 2-3 more times.

Probably a combination of wanting to avoid a clash with Harry Potter (both the movie and the book) and the fact the school holidays started a few days before the movie release.

Welcome to Club!!! I don't know if i could have handled the long wait while everybody else was raving abuot the film! extra kudos to you

good for you guys. personally i'm glad you english gents enjoyed it. don't make the same mistake i made: GO WATCH IT MORE THAN 2 TIMES.

wondering why you got it late there though. here, we started screening the TF movie last june 29 hehe.

here's hoping that no one would destroy all of you guys' enjoyment of the movie by posting their "critical" disappointment with it. let's keep the negative ideas away from this thread, people.

Totally with you there mate

Yeah i definitely gonna watch it at least another 2 times.
i really don't know why it took so long to get here, i think it hit London July 3, it's just here in rednecksville bristol we had to wait.

Glad you all love it too

I just saw it yesterday myself even though it has been out here in Ireland about a week.

No doubt about it I am going to go back and get a second and maybe even a third viewing - God Bless Cineworld "go as many time as you want" cards.

Really loved the movie. Sure there were some elements I was not overly happy with, for example still can't take to the design of the bot's, but overall - just awsome. Action, acting, laughs, evil cop car - super. And for me using Peter Cullen made the movie - I don't think it would have worked as well without him.

What most impressed me about the movie is how they have been able to make the movie appeal to such a wide audience. I mean, the showing I was at yesterday was sold out and the crowd was full of guys and girls of all ages and they were loving it.

I mean, if you told me twenty years ago there would be a live action movie of the Transformers and groups of very hot girls would go to it without being dragged by their boyfriends and would love the movie I'd have had you committed - but that is what has happened! Amazing.

And equally as impressive, most movies of this type are universally frowned on by movie critics but every review I have read of this movie has given it a thumbs up and advised people to go and see it because it is fun! Now that is some achievement.

yay, now done gone seen it too!

I tried to view it through the rose tinted glasses you guys seem to have seen it through but it didn't help.

Here's a quick review after deleting the massive rant I was gonna post; Transformers (2007).

A badly scripted Herbie film that thinks it's funnier than it is. Herbie is now a Camaro that transforms and has some friends that also turn into robots. Very rarely he fights aome other transforming things including a cassette player that turns into Stripe from Gremlins. Herbie's bestfriend's are a Pontiac that transforms into a stereotype and an idiot pretending to be Optimus Prime.

I don't know - I actually ended up taking the girlfriend to it last night so it was my second viewing of the movie back to back and I still enjoyed it loads. And the girlfriend did too.

So it's thumbs up from me.

Go join the 'We wish it had been directed by Sam Raimi' queue

edit: i admit that the whole hiding behind the house scene was lame but nothings perfect dude

...all I wanted was a film called Transformers to be about Transformers. Is that too much to ask?

Instead, I got 'The mis-adventures of young Bill Murray and his wacky robot friends' with special cameo appearance from the Decepticons.

Me lady liked it though, which was nice, and it was a hell of a lot better than spider-man 3
