A bit long, but I'll probably see it again. Next time in 3D though.

$300,000,000 to watch a toaster turn into a robot?

I have been surprised as to the level that they have done this adaptation to the screen so far.

While not my favorite as it was from my kids era and not my own, the heavy dependance on CGI has not been ruinous to it as some other films have been despite the heavy percentage. How as Marky in the central role?

I heard this movie is really tenuous and plodding...

You can't fight giant robots without Megan Fox.

I will still bitterly cling to the Transformers of the 80s as the only true “robots in disguise”.

How does this one compare to the other dreadful versions? What a waste of eye-popping special effects.

Why won't anyone spend money on a writer?

Is anyone watching, "House of Cards?" Overall, it's dark and depressing, but the writing and storyline is the standard by which good writing should be judged.

That narcissistic mental case LeBouf or whatever is not in this sequel.
The big opening weekend is probably what sent that obnoxious nut over the edge...

How old is Mark Walbergh now, anyway? 57?

I surprised my coworker by saying I plan to see this movie. It’s total escapism w/o taking the easy way out by throwing blood in all directions, like 300 Gladiators did. What kind of surprised me in the previews is the storyline, flimsy as it is, has the Marc Walberg character playing Father to an attractive young blond. My thought was, why not have her play his wife or girlfriend? My presumption; is maybe the director thinks Mark is too old to be in that sort of role or more likely, maybe his wife would not allow it to happen. “Not on my watch!” It could be a fun movie, that is suited for special effects and not overwhelmed by them.

Li BingBing should have had more screen time.

Saw it in 3D, which was surprisingly natural looking and impressive, but l couldn’t wait for it to end. Way too long and pointless. The 20-somethings liked it but they probably haven’t seen a movie which actually involved character development and a plot. The only reason to see it is CGI.
