I'm not expecting a lot from it, but I think that type of movie and those actors is something that doesn't happen a lot anymore. I really wish they had made it sooner, Ramis is a bit different then when we last saw him.

Transformers was a great popcorn movie. I can also watch it over and over. I keep trying to figure out WTF you fanboys expected from the film? Need you be reminded the original movie sucked ass, and the show was just a commercial?
Anyways, the last thing I saw Harold Ramis in was Orange County. He was awesome in it.

Trust me, I'm far from a Transformers fanboy. I had a couple as a kid and haven't seen the show in 20 years. I dislike the movie because it was boring and Shia Lewhatever was horrible. All he did was play that same babbling moron he always plays that always sucks. The only redeeming part of that movie was the woman and you could have swapped in any other superhot chick without any difference. There was so much badly animated crap going on half the time that you couldn't tell what was happening. If this movie didn't have the Transformers license, and was named "Robot Invaders", it would have been a ridiculous flop.

Transformers was merely OK. I enjoyed it once... I may watch it again in a dozen years or so. Meh... and I am not a Transformers fanboy by any stretch. I think my biggest issue is with that LaDouche guy playing the lead. For some reason, much like the little ---tallywhacker--- from Star Wars EP1, I want to reach through the screen and strangle the guy when I see him.
At least he wasn't as bad in it as he was in Indiana Jones. IJ wasn't "terrible" either... just bad enough to wonder why I'd just spent $17.50 to see it with the wife.
Of course, she (my wife) is like the masses... she consumes these movies and absolutely adores them. But she actually LIKED "Wild Wild West"... which, along with "Dragon Wars" is what I use as the benchmark for a bad movie.
Wild Wild West's saving grace is a decent theme song... but when the theme song is 100x better than the movie itself, well...you should reconsider making the movie I'd venture to guess.
EDIT: Like a Lemming I am sure I will go see this flick. I MAY be able to skip it in the theater as the wife and I will be busy at that time with a baby... so at least there is a bright spot to this all. Who knows... it may be OK. If it is, indeed, a "reset" of the story, I will be disappointed. I'd rather they do a "20 years later" flick... they're still bustin Ghosts...or even they broke up 20 years ago and they're coming together to face a new evil....

The entire end sequence is impossible to understand most the time, though on a 120Hz LCD with bluray, it is quite a bit better. (At least it was when I saw it running at BestBuy)

I must have the slomo version on DVD and SD TV. The animation seems fine and I cand see what is happening the whole movie. My only problem with the Transformers II so far is they don't have the Auzzie girl in it.
