Saw "Transformers" last night...
Dartful Dodger:
If the movie was mediocre I'd be happy. It was excellent, finally something from my childhood wasn’t destroyed in the remake.
With the movie I was hoping there would be a great line of transformer toys. The new Star Scream sucks.
The Robotech series had better transforming jet models 20 years ago.

I'm on the fence about seeing it. I agree that the robots look too "modern" and intricate. I wish they did it in a more "cartoony" way.
Sir Auros:
Peale could probably vouch for how firmly against this movie I was based on the original robot designs, but I really, really enjoyed it. So much that this will be the first movie I've seen more than once in theaters since Return of the King.
The Decepticons could've used more screentime, and the ending was really anticlimactic, but there was so much good that it really outnumbers the bad.

I actually didn't like the way Megatron's face looked in the pics before seeing the movie, but the way Micheal Bey decided to go with a very realistic rendering of the characters - to me, paid off when you watch the movie.
Unlike the Power Ranger Megazord style of live action, which I believe is what you mean by "cartoony", Micheal Bey's Transformers look very real, very intricate and complex, and very convincing as they would if they actually existed. I believe that is what helps set this movie apart as fantastic, because Optimus Prime looks so real and NOT like a Megazord knock-off with the right colors.
Again, I was a skeptic about the *new* styles for the bodies, like everyone, I'd have preferred Starscream to be his memorable red and grey, and blue. But, when you see the movie, it makes sense that they are based more on a highly realistic, modernized interpretation. And that fact that all their original personalities are there makes it even more convincing.
Bottomline, how many here saw the movie and don't want more more more? And I think that says it all.
AtomSmasher:
I just saw the movie and I thought it was great. Other then it getting a little too corny in the middle, I thought it was an amazing movie. This is the first movie in a very long time where I'm tempted to go see it again.
