America's two top computer hacks are a hot blonde chick and a hip, funny black guy? It's hard to enjoy a movie that's so blatantly unrealistic.

If you have kids and are forced to take them to the movies, this is not a terrible choice, but if you go see it on your own, you are probably a loser.

I don't know why they felt they needed 2.5 hours to tell a story of good transformers saving Earth from bad transformers. I should be a Hollywood movie exec. I dont have any creative ability, but I guarantee I could improve every movie ever made. It's just too obvious some of this stuff. 2.5 hours for Transformers??

Also I had to look up the brunette hot chick that was portrayed as a high school student to make sure I wasn't turning into a pedophile. She's 21. phew!

P.S. I didn't stay till the end of the closing credits, but I'm pretty sure not very many people at the showing I went to did. If they did, I highly doubt there was a collective groan at the realization the show was finally over with no additional scenes.

Meagan Fox is the 'brunette hot chick' and people are saying that she is the next Angelina Jolie. Tattoos and attitude, I guess thats where the comparisons come from.

I am going to Transformers this weekend and I hope I enjoy it more than you apparently did.

Like Kyle on South Park says, "Job has all his children killed, and Michael Bay gets to keep making movies. There isn't a God."

You mean a movie about cars that transform into monsters isn't realistic? Say it ain't so.

I didn't hate the movie. My post was mostly TIC. It was 40 minutes too long, though, and that's such a no-brainer it's frustrating that Hollywood continues to get things this obvious this wrong.

That part was fine. It was just the hot blonde/rapper programming team that I couldn't get past.

With a completely unrealistic movie, you want to look at short, fat, ugly pimply white guys?

Shia LaBoef, and the cute blonde chick, together with the explosions made the movie.

Cute blonde chick (Australian accent programmer) or cute brunette chick lead role? Blonde chick was cute but annoying. Brunette lead role chick was... uh yeah she was hot and definitely helped make the movie tolerable.

I just got back from watching Transformers. Seems like everyone I talked to who saw it loved it.

I give it a B+. The action scenes and special effects were A+, but there were a few just corny and random things, holes in the plot, etc. that kept it from an A.

Really good, but not a GREAT film.
