Wow...
I was disappointed...
the movie was terrible... seriously...
The SFX were amazing though... to bad terrible writing, lousy acting, nonsensical story-line and stupid dialogue make this a really annoying and pathetic movie...

pretty harsh, but I feel sort of the same. I was talking to my friend at work today and he hasn't seen it, but he didn't like the first one not because he thinks transformers is stupid, he's actually a fan, but because of how everything was so ridiculous and over done, which is the same thing with this film. these films don't take the franchise seriously and makes almost everything into a joke. The biggest joke to me is that there have been transformer cartoons that have been made for kids that had more interesting characters, more heart, soul and well told stories than anything seen in either of these films. I want to see them take this down the tone of something like I am Legend or Aliens and tell a straight serious story where actions actually have consequences.

Just saw the movie. Liked it more then expected! Really loved the first half, liked the 3/4th bit, but the climax was anything but and felt really, really rushed. Terrible shame, it could have been so much better...
Devastator was a complete and total waste too, the Fallen really should have appeared more, Starscream was a bit pussified (though the rest of the dynamic worked great!), Bumblebee REALLY should have talked, I ^^^^ing hated how the Autobots got shafted...
But I loved the NEST/Autobot teamwork, I actually like Sam's and Mikaela's relationship in this better, Pretender looked surprisingly creepy, Leo wasn't that bad, Megatron was awesome if a bit of an asskisser, Prime was a goddamn badass ("I'LL TAKE YOU ALL!" "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!"), loved the inclusion of the Matrix...
Really, I would have liked this movie FAR more then the first if the Autobots appeared and interacted more, the climax wasn't so damn rushed and held in Las Vegas (imagine the Harvester wiping away half the city and the final battle being in the ruins!), the Cons continued to be a threat instead of becoming cannon fodder in the final act, if the tension were handled better and if a lot of the jokes were cut out. All things that they could have done if they would have gotten an extra year to work on it, and hadn't rushed it...Ah well.

Rating:
'Fanboy'/pure popcorn flick: 7.5/10
Normal: 6/10
EDIT:
Most of those are toy characters, this is a full list of all the stuff that I remember, sorted on importance/screentime. Spoilers though, naturally.
Autobots:
Optimus prime
Bumblebee
Mudflap
Skids
Wheelie
Jetfire
Ironhide
Ratchet
Sideswipe
Chromia
Arcee
Moonstar (unknown if that's her real name, the purple Arcee sister)
Jolt
Decepticons:
Megatron
Starscream
The Fallen
Soundwave
Ravage
The Doctor
Devastator
Pretender
Ravage's minion
Grindor/zombie Blackout
Rampage
Demolisher
Longhaul
Mixmaster
Scrapper
Protoform troopers
Bonecrusher
Sideways
Constructicon that was sacrificed
Frenzy's head (brief appearance)
Hatchling
NOTE: Hightower and Overload were in the movie, but only appeared in vehicle mode before combining with the others to form Devastator. It's also hinted that Devastator is his own bot though, who just happens to break down into seperate vehicles. So that's why I didn't include those two on the list.

BS, IMAX is barely a minute longer and is just slightly extended scenes. Nothing special. I do think that Blackout got revived though, because 5 cons went down (four Constructicons and Ravage) and 6 came up (three Constructicons, Ravage, Megatron and Blackout(?)).

Get real, it's a franchise based on kids toys FFS!
A "serious" Transformers movie aimed towards the hardcore adult fans would make next to nothing at the box office simply because it wouldn't appeal to a wide enough audience the way the current ones do.

They could be neon green for all i care..those are the worst looking Transformers i have ever seen.
I was hoping to see Soundwave send Lazerbeak down to earth and pick up Arcee and all the rest of the stupid motorcycle click and whip them one by one into the sun.

the wife liked her mainly because she was the only girl Transformer although she admits the toon version is far superior. The fact that Mikayla didn't even up with Arcee considering all the build up of her riding around on motorcycles still puzzles.

Well, the kids wanted to see it so I took them today. My 2nd time. I still can't figure out how anyone other than a diehard Transformers fan could LOVE this film (just so many issues all over the place and at every level) but it's not the worst thing ever to grace the screen, either. People comparing it to BATMAN & ROBIN are just being silly.
One thing that still has me at "WTF?" though is when they're at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum and Jetfire blasts through the door. All of a sudden they're outside in a plane graveyard... that is 2,000 miles away.

I honestly don't see how Sommers' G.I. JOE can be better than anything. It's only competition for pure cinema trash is BATMAN & ROBIN at worst and Sommers' own VAN HELSING (which itself is a monumental piece of crap) at best.
Also, if nothing else, at least Michael Bay can direct scenes showcasing the military where they come across as competent and not retarded.

In the who's your favourite thread darthviper107 said that "they reused [Blackout] for the second one and renamed him as Grindor"... but he's not on this list. Can anyone else confirm this?... And where the hell was Springer?... Poor use of a throwaway robot. Surprised one wasn't called Kup or Hot Rod.

I have seen Grindor in stores and he is a voyager class repaint..well, molded in white i think..
Optimus rips his face in half
The movie didn't make any sense at all...
This is seriously one of the most stupid films I have ever seen in my life...
what a waste...
Ughh!!!!
Made me appreciate The Phantom Menace and AVP:R...
