Just saw it and I agree. I thought it was awesome too. Definitely the best movie I've seen in awhile. Can't wait to see it again.

I guess as usually it's personal preference. I like sci-fi stuff so I thought it was good. However, there were two guys at the ticket counter who had already seen it and said it was a crappy movie. They were telling their friends not to waste their money on it. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Saw it last week, I didn't hate, but I didn't like it. The effects were awsome though. Bay raped my child hood LOL.

Next up, Harry potter......

well guys, after u were all so positive about it, i also went and saw the movie. and over all, i really like the movie... and the models were great indeed..... there was just one thing that i didn't like about the models. when they start fighting eachother, it's kinda hard to see if it's a leg or an arm, or whatever, since all u can see is wires and steel bars. i think they could have done with a little more plating. but hey.... that's just my opinion.

Thats one of the biggest complaints about the movie so far aside from all the extreme closeup's that Bay is famous for, and every shot had to be the perfect shot, something Bay is known for from his music video days. I can only hope he is not considered for the sequel.
