    I watched it again a few weeks ago for what had to have been my 60th viewing . I still love it. I'm amazed by how well it holds up upon repeat viewings. Bay et al did more than make a movie about giant alien robots at war, they found a fun way to personalize it so the audience could relate to what is -at least on paper - an absurd premise.

    Just re-watched it last night. It was fun. I devoured a bowl of popcorn & a 24 ounce bottle of Mountain Dew while watching it...

    I watched it once when the film first came out and I haven't watched it again since then. Some parts I thought were really cool but the parts I don't like keep me from watching it a second time.

    I try to make the hacker subplot better by picturing the female lead naked. It helps, but only slightly.

    I probably fall into the once a month category. Transformers is pretty high up there on my list of favorite movies, because it took a childhood love and did something cool with it for me, so I'll watch it frequently enough. I think Serenity is the only other movie that gets that kind of treatment ^_^

    I watched it on January 2009. I put the part with the Autobots arrival on Earth, and watched it till the end.

    I also watch it about once a month, sometimes even more lol. But i just watched it on blu-ray last night. I literally can watch it over and over again and never get tired. Its my fav movie ever, at least until ROTF comes out lol.

    I watch the beginning and then I usually only watch the parts after the Autobots arrive.

    My brother bet me money that I would get sick of it eventually, so I watched at least half of it every night for a month.

    Let's just say I was 20 bucks richer after that month. ;D

    Whenever I can, I sit and watch it.

    Always enjoy it and always will.


    But I've been holding back on Bluray....can't wait.

    It's a great movie, but I don't like those parts.

    I watched it about a week or so ago. Then I watched the special features which made me want to watch it again, but just skip the human parts.

    Though I normally enjoy the human stories. The characters are great and entertaining, but I still like the robots, of course. Though I agree, I want more robots in ROTF. Looks like that is going to happen. Maybe by the third movie, we will have like ten minutes of humans and then an hour and a half of robots and explosions!!!

    This is how I feel. It is a fun movie and I can watch it whenever I want over and over again from beginning to end.

    I've listened to the commentary many many times. And its just something I will sit down and watch it without being bored at any moment. I still laugh at certain funny things such as Sam's goofy friend Miles climbing on the tree for no reason haha!
