Soundwave should be in the next one, along with decepticon everyone loves to hate, the Mighty Starscream, Starscream should get alot more screen time, he should kick some serious ass to, he's a F-22 Raptor, don't be stupid and kill Starscream off in the 2nd movie. I hated the way Starscream was killed in the animated movie back in 86' If there is to be more Transformers movies. characters such as Starscream should be in them. Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee,Ratchet, Soundwave, Starscream, Shockwave, Dinobots, are all cornerstones from the original G1 series. They are who will bring the crowds to the theaters. There are plenty of other Autobot and Decepticon characters that can be used for cannon fodder until the last movie, whether that is a Transformers 3 or 4. Also Megatron and or Galvatron should be brought back for the final showdown. Prime vs Galvatron.

He's a really good character and he's my favourite. Thank you Sam age 11 Would it be possible for the transformers to travel back in time and save Autobot Jazz?

It was like Bad Boys II with robots, but for all its terrible-ness at least Bad Boys II entertained me. I just came back from Transformers feeling like I wasted two and a half precious hours.

It was as big, crazy, and explode-y as I expected. There were a few aspects I'd classify as flaws (the three distinct storylines could have been meshed a little better - when we came back to the soldiers the second time, I had honestly forgotten about their plot), but it was definitely worth seeing. From both a character-development and visual standpoint, I would have liked some more distinction among the Transformers themselves (good guys and bad guys), but at over two hours already, I'm not sure how that could have been realistically accomplished. I'd give it a B+. I saw it yesterday and dug it for the most part. It was as big, crazy, and explode-y as I expected.

Clearly made for kids (who expected otherwise?), but enjoyable for adults. Actually, I was sitting behind a guy and his son/brother/nephew... and the guy was totally into the movie, while the kid played his PSP for 2+ hours. Maybe the movie was clearly made for the kid inside adults who actually remember the Transformers from their own childhood. Nostalgia is a huge draw and a great equalizer. I am always willing to add an extra star when one of these nostalgia-based popcorn flicks stays true (true enough) to the source and throws the original audience a bone (ie, the transformation sound effect from the cartoon, the hint of animosity between Megatron and Starscream in that brief moment they shared the screen). So yeah, maybe if I had no love for the robots in disguise going into this, I'd have been less into the 2+ hours of noise and spectacle. Other than that, I think Shia LaBuff (sp?) was an excellent human anchor for the story, Megan Fox performed her role as "hot chick" swimmingly, and I believed the Transformers themselves were real, and not just digital cartoons. The funny parts made me laugh, the action sequences got me excited, and the dumb stuff was done with an awareness of how stupid/cheesy/over-the-top it was. I really dug the hell out of this movie.
