wow, i didn't know transformers was that big in the 80's - we weren't allowed to watch stuff like that when we were kids, so i can watch the movie without having to fear for my childhood memories. i'm seeing it for the cgi and special fx, for it'll surely suck as a movie, but feature great robot action and mighty pictures.

anyone seen the turtles movie? i heard it's quite okay.

and that rush video rules!

The Turtles movie is very childish. The animation sucks and the storyline is ludicrous. They had promised a darker Turtles movie after the second and third one, which were just awful.

I wish I still had all my toys.

I was actually thinking of looking for my big Optimus Prime toy just because this movie brought it back to my mind!

If you find it, take pics and post them!!

I will be seeing this movie, because if it sucks, it won't ruin the Transformers for me...it'll ruin any respect (little that there is) for Michael Bay.

I'm of a similar frame of mind. I don't understand how a Hollywood knock-off of a cartoon ruins childhood memories. Judge Dredd was still a cool comic regardless of how dodgy the movie was.

If it's a crap movie it's a crap movie.

I think the movie looks fantastic. I'm a fan of the original show and movie. I think Bay has an interesting viewpoint on it and will make it look amazing on screen.

The movie gets scoreboard points in a big way for getting Peter Cullen to voice Optimus Prime. Not sure about Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith) as the voice of Megatron but I'll reserve judgment until later.

I never knew Transformers was a TV series.

i have my big optimus prime on a shelf, soon as i get my camera working i'll post a pic

The trailer blew me away when i saw it.
I think it'll be a typical summer blockbuster with great special effects but a dumb storyline and a hefty amount of 'independence day' style cheese.
But I am looking forward to big robots smashing each other up.

Excuse me, as far as I know it's a movie about big ass robots, how can it NOT be a dumb cheesefest with expensive special effects?

edit: not that I have anything against big robots - quite the contrary.
