I'm not going to lie, I haven't seen this movie. I'm going to blame this on the fact that I was over seas when it came out. Perhaps I'll make up for that sometime over the summer!

It's worth watching! And Shia is verrrrry pretty in it!

Excellent! Also, it sounds like "such a guy movie." Which history has shown that I actually like more than most guys.

Personally, I actually don't see Transformers as a guilty pleasure at all. Just a damn awesome and fun movie with really neat special effects. Also: Lots of childhood nostalgia. :D

Well, I consider it a "guilty pleasure" because I have to concede that it's not one of the best movies ever made, and it definitely has its faults. Still, AWESOME FUN!

Yeah, Rob is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE Transformers fanboy - he's seen every series ever, has boxes and boxes of figures, and owns multiple copies of the original Transformers movie. He made me watch it once. I don't know as I've quite forgiven him yet.

Needless to say, I accompanied him to a midnight show for THIS film back in 2007, and we both walked out with a positive experience. He loved it, and it was certainly entertaining for me. It feels a bit long, I think they could have edited some, but it's a surprisingly funny movie, to its credit. Definitely entertaining. I wasn't really expecting to like it, but I did. Heck, my MOM watched it and really liked it! She's seen it multiple times now!

So yes, I agree with many of your points - I had a similar impression of the film upon first seeing it.

Yeah, it definitely drags in places and a lot of the secondary characters aren't really important -- seriously, what is up with the whole Australian chick and Anthony Anderson? Largely pointless! Still, fun!
