What you fail to see is that VW much like others didn’t let them use their cars in the movie, they said that using a vw beetle for bumble bee would give a bad reputation for the car and would show them as advocates of violence, hence why they only featured american cars.

Overall the movie was great, story wise it lis very similar to the first part of the G1 cartoons when they crash land on earth and the Prime vs Megatron fight was epic.

You might enjoy the simple look of the old transformers but any 9 year old these days would laugh at how simple they were, and while they weren’t very original to the characters i liked how they turned up … too bad soundwave didn’t make t he cut (praying he will in the sequel)

I agree with Ramsey. This movie is a nice diversion and nostalgia trip. Watch it for the action and the giant robots on a big screen! There is an IMAX release in the US now - would be even better - I’d see it again!

No point in watching this at home and looking for a story!

The product placement was a bit blatant, but all that extra sponsorship means more money for special effects!

…and that Megan Fox is lovely.

When I first saw the movie, I loved it because of the kid in me. But thats because of the kid in me. In all honesty the movie as a whole (as a standalone movie) is pretty horrible.

I mean, its fun to see Transformers on a fucking movie screen, but compared to other movies as a “movie” and not “Transformers,” I have to agree its very corny.

I agree with Marzouq, and Mark I think we know our 80’s G1 transformers.

This movie could be a great movie or a bad movie …. Depends really if see it in the prospective of it being a 2 : 33 mins long GM commercial then its mesmerizing / perfect commercial ever [PERIOD] On the other hand if you wana compare this to a Marvel movie then it pretty much sucks since it doesnt stick to the orignal story or the cartoon …..

Loved the work they did on the action scenes…

I’m already in love with the new Camaro it JUST KICKS ASS !!!! new level of coolness way cooler than the VW Beetle …

good post mark but the movie was a good one.

I was disappointed with a Camaro Bumblebee and with megatron but this looks like a good start for transformers lovers.

I was hoping they can turn it to a mini series and we can watch them transform everyweek rather than once every 2 years.

Get the xbox 360 game, its good fun and you can transform plenty of times and play it online against other tranformers in an autobots vs decept. fight.

The problem is everyone here is too young to even know there was a Transformers cartoon!

You should have been in an American movie theatre for that movie. They went crazy in the end and started applauding for it!

i think this review came out negative because this movie was supposed to be watched on cinema screens not tvs or laptops , if you would have seen it in a theater you would have given it a better review IMO
