I waited for this to come out on video, and I am glad I did. We got the Redbox version last night, and my impression of it was much the same as Hellraiser II: half of the plot of this movie is on the cutting room floor. And why do we AGAIN have a teenage girl whose only function is to scrram until a tow truck is available? But, let's focus on the postive! They kept the Autobots down to just five people (robots?) and even though I never did catch the name if the shiny green one, at least I had an idea of who each of them were and how they fit into the story with one another. Stanley Tucci was wonderful as always (has he done *anything* bad?) and while I am not a Matt Damon fanboy, I certainly think he carried the human side of the movie well enough. It was nice to see Optimus Prime as a snub-nosed tractor, just like the toy I had when I was young. That, to me, was the prize of the movie. Oh, and Kelsey Grammer. He always makes things fun :-) |

I wasn't aware that Damon was in the movie. I take it you meant Mark Wahlberg. I've only seen the first movie and have no desire to see any of the follow-ups. |

OMG I managed to confuse Matt Damon with Mark Wahlberg! I hang my head with shame and embarrassment. But they ARE all starting to look the same… |

Lololol was the human performance of Mark Wahlberg that forgettable that one could confuse him for being Matt Damon… thanks PR you made my night. I will avoid the video store for this one. |

When this movie was in development, they said that they were dropping Shia LaBeouf and many of the other stars because they wanted to do a more serious version of the movie. Then the first trailer that they released showed Optimus Prime riding a dinosaur. That was enough for me. I may rent it, but wouldn't go to the movies for that! |

gi joe and transformers are cartoons that I loved in the day -- Tried to watch and could not sit threw one -- all the transformer movies and gi joe movies bring out the 12 year old in me I go in expecting nothing and come out feeling 12 for about a minute -- the ip is 30 years old and has been rebooted many times but the target audience has not changed -- kids 10-12. story wise only the cartoon movie has a story and if they made a darker universe with unicrom and the death of prime transferring leadership to rodimus sure they could get jud nelson to do the voice. I think I am going to rent 4 tonight and see what it does for me -- at least my 12 year old son will like it. Transformer 5 -- they make it i'll watch it at home -- I think only star wars will get my $ at a theater -- |

" OMG I managed to confuse Matt Damon with Mark Wahlberg! " Umm … isn't Mark Wahlberg a clone of Matt Damon ???? |
, a big step for his Grey Knights.
