i liked the show(well, i still love it actually)--and i like both of the movies----i feel like a young lad again!!!!I liked the ending and i hope there is another one.

you guys need to let go of the total G1 comparison. It is never going to be like the show.

I am huge fan of the G1 series myself. But seriously, watch some episodes now, and see if you want the exact same things in the movies.

I could use less alien looking bots in the movie though

I hate movie snobs.

Welker was also Megatron in the original series as well, but they opted for Hugo.

I only need bring up one point:

The way Optimus disposes of Bone Crusher in the first movie. The casual viewer would never even realize that Prime used his energon ax from the original 3-part pilot of the show.

Details like that make me love these movies.

So it was the lips that got you huh?How about the 2hr GM commercial!

I'm with you, Rob. It was a cheesy movie about giant robots made after a cheesy TV show about giant robots. I got what I expected...a couple hours of entertainment. The presence of metallic lips does not rank high in the list of atrocities that consume my mind!

Well it will probably be the more unpopular opinion, but someone needs to defend it.

I liked Transformers, and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

There,.. it was said. Let the flaming begin.

Now I will admit that it had it's faults (like HD said,.. prime should never had had lips), but all-in-all I think Bay did a pretty good job with it - all things considered.

"While the first Transformers movie was, in my opinion, several different kinds of suck..."

- Thank you, needed to be said. Prime had lips...LIPS, need I say more? Hated the production design and the story. It's sad in a movie about giant fighting robots, that I was more interested in the predictable B-story of awkward teenage love.

Maybe through some miracle Bay will quit and move on to "Mork and Mindy" the movie and leave Transformers to someone like James Cameron.
