I was over at http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=8437 checking out it's previews, and it's "Announcement teaser" has to be one of the funniest teasers I have ever seen...LOL I get a kick out of real life stuff being mixed in.

I can't wait to see this.

It was funny. It was campy. I sat too close -- one row from the front -- to really totally enjoy all the action. Lots of product placement. But it was enjoyable.

Saw it today and it was AWESOME! It was funny, and Fun Fun Fun! I hope they make another. They used the orginal actor from the cartoon as the voice of Optumas Prime in the movie. Was not disappointed at all. I missed about 5 to 10 mins of the movie though, my daughter had to run to bathroom.

I saw it this afternoon and was very pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The performances held up very well as they competed with all the spectacular special effects -- John Turturro stole every one of the scenes he was in. HIGH-larious.

Anyone else intrigued by the trailer that ends 1-18-08? The hype is hyper.

The trailer didn't get much of a reaction from the Cinerama Dome crowd (in Hollywood) that I saw it with -- one could reasonably dismiss this to the jadedness of an L.A. crowd.

The only "name" I saw attached to the trailer was J.J. Abrams (I was only paying half-attention, though). But you're right, Ketchup, the hype thus far has been outlandish.

DH and I loved it.
KL, are you referring to the trailer that was kind of scary just before "T" started? I caught that it was called "Bad Robots".
I think we are on notice of a sequel...
(hopefully)

I think Bad Robot is associated with ABC or JJ Abrams or Lost or all three or any two of those three.

According to imdb.com, Bad Robots is the production company, but the details of the film, what little of them there are, can be perused at:

thanks U.Ricky. Thought Bad Robots was the name of the film. Too early to think about that one now anyway. After today, we are waiting for "The Simpsons" movie.

This appeared in today's "Movie & TV News" section of IMDB. The title, for now, appears to be "Cloverfield."

YouTube has complied with a request from Paramount to remove copies of a trailer for the forthcoming Cloverfield. The trailer for the J.J. Abrams-produced movie made its first appearance last week with the debut of Transformers in movie theaters. The following day copies of the trailer, apparently shot with a camcorder, began appearing on YouTube, but they were soon replaced by a notice saying "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Paramount Pictures Corp." Paramount is a unit of Viacom, Inc., which has filed a $1-billion copyright-infringement lawsuit against YouTube. Writing on the TechDirt site, one blogger commented that the studio was obviously trying to generate buzz with the trailer. "Why is it that the studios wanna ruin their buzz?" he asked. Another blogger replied, "It makes perfect sense -- when you let lawyers run your entertainment company. Perhaps we should just be thankful that Paramount hasn't tried to have the people who filmed the trailer arrested."

Saw it last night and hated it. TOTAL CHEEZE. Only the final battle was worth watching. The script and storyline sucked. My bf agreed.

I guess we're in the minority though.

It wasn't near as good as I thought it would be, but I still enjoyed it. The evil smaller robots reminded me of gremlins. I swear they made the same sounds, too.

We hated the evil smaller gremilin-robots. My bf said they were just an attempt at "cheap humor".

I think it was supposed to be cheeze -- based on a cartoon and all.

I agree - it was supposed to be Cheezy - we said that out loud on more than a couple of occasions. But all together very enjoyable - not a waste of an afternoon for us.

We saw this this weekend and all in all, I liked it, but I did get a little tired of the rockem sockem action towards the end. I don't think it was appropriate for young children. Since this is clearly aimed at children, I wish they had left the inappropriate material out.

I watched this with some of my daycare kids and the boys were a bit older so the content wasn't so bad for them. It was good. A little jerky in the fighting parts but you can't beat Optimus Prime.

We liked this movie. My youngest son grew up with Transformers and comic books, so I got to 'know' Optimus Prime! LOL I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Not sure why my husband and I saw this when it came out. During the movie we just looked at each other like saying "we are still here?" especially when during one of the battles the robots start with the cheesey one liners. Wow.

Then again, we forgot this was a kids movie and we knew nothing about Transformers. Heck all I remember is the commercials from when I was a kid "Transformers...robots in disguise!" LOL!
