Transformers (Two-Disc Special Edition)

I count myself among the "fairer sex" who loved the original cartoon. I was not able to see the movie when it was out last summer but I was finally able to see it two nights ago on Cinemax. It was terrific-and I too was excited to hear the voice of the original Optimus Prime. Shia LeBeouf was great as Sam. Bumblebee stole the show, though. He was always my favorite, as the "baby brother" of the group, and the interaction between "boy and car" was given a whole new dimension. I haven't decided if I will purchase the DVD but it was well worth the wait to see it.

Hands down one of the greatest movies of all time. I watched it on an HD TV and the HD DVD was excellent. I highly recommend this movie

Not a fan of the original kid cartoon so am only going by this movie. It is an okay movie but filled with the typical crud from hollywood that they spread to our youth as standard! The action is fine and exciting. The good guys are endearing and the film makes you root for them so what else is needed? I don't really recommend this movie for the whole family.

I have to say that I saw this movie with no expectations and LOVED it. The action scenes are top notch, the CGI is seamless, the lines are witty and humerous, and the acting was surprisingly good. Another thing that blew me away was the music. The last thing I expected from this movie was good music. This movie awoke a new hobbie in me, and I am now collecting the action figures and have both the nintendo ds games. I have probably watched it 10 times. I will not put a age group recommendation on it because there was a wide range of ages at the movie theater, ages 5 to 60, male and female, who also liked it because they cheered at the end. I cannot wait for Transformers 2, scheduled for realease June 26th, 2009.

First, I want to say, that I love the 80's Transformers show and used to watch it before and after school, so I was really looking forward to this movie, and also taking my kids to see it who didn't get to watch it growing up like me. However, I was extremely disappointed in the makers of this movie, especially with the scriptwriter and everyone above him who approved the script. There is so much foul mouth, sexual content garbage that is constantly being spoken by these characters throughout the movie that I really regretted having bought the dvd for my kids. In fact, it is now in the trash. Transformers is marketed for children of all ages, with all of its merchandise, toys, clothes, etc., however, as a warning to all responsible parents out there, the dialogue of this movie is nothing but trash, and is nothing like the 80's wholesome cartoon. It's like the perverted writer of this script is desperate himself for that kind of intimate attention that he had to sprinkle it throughout the entire movie to corrupt young, impressionable minds. It's a real shame, because transformers should have been made more wholesome, and family friendly like the spider-man movies are, not where you have to cover your children's ears constantly. This movie should have been made more responsibly, because although its listed as PG-13, it is marketed toward small children as well. My 5 year old wants to see Bumblebee after wanting the little toys from the store. Too bad many of Bumblebee's friends have a disturbing potty mouth in this movie which should have been family friendly. Stay away from this trash, it is not for kids.
