As our good buddy fallen_revenge said... Grab a big bucket of popcorn and plenty to drink, put on your 3D Cine-Masks (give the Bumblebee mask to your girlfriend, make sure your friend bring one as well)... Enjoy the movie!

Nice can't wait for it.

Interesting, So it's about 15 mins shorter than ROTF and the original.
Nervol
Thats great news imo. Hopefully this means the movie will be much leaner than the last 2. ROTF did NOT need to be 150 minutes
SPLIT LIP
Awesome. Not too long, not too short.
The Bucket Kitten
Yay, 16 mins. shorter than what I was expecting, but still, Yay.
Number1sikko
Sounds perfect.

It's not a good sign at all. It's the final chapter and it has a shorter runtime than the first two movies.
It's going to be disappointing way more than expected.

Are you kidding with that statement? 14 minutes is going to make or break whether it's good or bad? please do not make anymore statements pertaining to this movie again, ridiculous. I think it's good that it's shorter, with 3D added people will not want to sit through a movie that was 2 1/2 hours long, that extra 15 minutes can be a killer, case in point, ROTF, Saw it with my wife and she complained how long and drawn out the last part of the movie was, if they trimmed the fat it could have been better, If they trimmed Leo the movie would have won an oscar! lol

chojin998
Who are you to tell me what I can or can't say?
If you don't like what I write don't read it then.
It won't change the fact that a shorter runtime is a huge disappointment already and it means that the production knows that the movie is flawed otherwise being it the final chapter of a trilogy it should have been longer than the previous two, not shorter for sure.
Also that train wreck of Avatar was in the 160minutes range in useless 3D in theaters and only thanks to marketing people spent a lot of money to watch it multiple times (the best way to go blind).. so going around telling that people wouldn't watch a longer runtime 3D Transformers movie is a really moot point.

Oh, don't talk such utter nonsense. Longer in absolutely no way means superior. LENGTH was always an issue with these movies - even in the fairly positively received first movie, critics said the final act lasted too long, and ROTF's final battle was a *joke* it lasted so long. Paring a solid quarter-hour off the running time hopefully means the story is tighter and focused. It's a smart move and I'm happy to see it.

This seems like a satisfying length to me. That's also what she said.
bad karma 99
Are the people who bring their cinemasks still gonna have to pay full 3d ticket admission price for the 3d movie ?
chojin998
It has already been reported that the final battle on this 3rd movie lasts approx 1 hour non-stop. So what is your point?
What critics say doesn't matter, they are paid either by producers or competitors to write negative or positive stuff.
Bay and Paramount didn't care about them and the first two movies were a huge financial success despite competitors paying critics and invading forums to brainwash people minds with hatred to bring down the movie at any cost--they failed completely the second movie got an higher worldwide boxoffice gross than the first one and it sold tons of DVD/Blu-Ray discs more than the first movie. Just because many people all over the world chose the movies, they liked the movies.
Now that Paramount and Bay are paying critics to write good things about this 3rd movie shows that they are worried of having a lower quality product and so they go for the brainwashing people mind machine to sell it, which differs from clean marketing, it's dirty business.

ITZ A CONSPIRACY I TELLZ YA!!!!!!!!
Seriously? Because people who've seen either the whole movie or parts of it and did end up liking it, automatically means their being paid? ok, maybe you and Harold Camping should continue working on when the end of the world is really gonna happen while the rest of us have fun at the movies

cypherXR
Your statement is illogical. What if those 15 minutes cut, were 15 minutes of bad toilet humor? I'm not understanding how you're equating the length of a movie to how good it will be.

but back on track, 134 min sounds good to me!
Shizuka
I thought TF had a decent run time and the time was used well. I'm sure many people felt the filler nature of from Jetfire's awakening to the final Battle. From what I've heard, no second is wasted.
caldo15
LOL How much do you guys wanna bet the next post this guy writes is "This movie is doomed because Megan Fox is not in it!"

As long as it's 2 hours or over I'm already happy
prime326
Awesome. That is a perfect length in my opinion.
springerbee
Well, sounds like half the movie is gonna be action so I won't complain
fallen_revenge
I mean it's the best movie of the series does it matter if it's 16 minutes shorter?
frenzyrumble

You dropped your hat, Mr. Camping.

Awesome! Can't wait to geek out at the premier!
Also, since this is the edited movie/cinema audience version, I'm sure that DVD release will have loads of unedited final scenes.:

Nice. Thats a good running time. I just wanted it to be over 2 hours so this good with me
IaconStargazer
134 minutes is quite good for a runtime - shorter than each of the previous two, but not ridiculously so (re: the previous rumor of the film being 109 minutes long).
TylerMirage
Jolly good one, chap. 
Agreed. Better let the doctor know.
"My gosh! How long have you had this?!?!"
"It's alright, Doc. I was just at DotM."
"Oh, alright then."

Bountyan
Yeah..every non-TF/casual TF fan I know that watched ROTF pretty much all complained it felt too long and drawn out. It might be a good thing this one is shorter. There were a crap load of scenes in ROTF that could have been deleted and the movie would be completely intact, maybe even better because it would cut some of the out of place humor. Anything over 2 hours is good for me.
420bot
So Bay really did listen, holy shit.
newmanium
Please don't eat popcorn near me!
bonycrushy345
well.. its better then the other time they said
Autovolt 127
The Runing time deserves one of these.
AutobotSkids
Well, they did have to cut all the twin's scenes out, so yeah, 134 sounds about right.
tobuttica
You are just going on hearsay. Have you seen the movie and can confirm that it's worse than ROTF with the 16 minutes cut out of it. Can you confirm that the final battle is an hour plus. What you are doing is jumping to conclusions and being trollish just to throw your "opinion" out there and elicit responses from people you are trying to upset.

TF = 2hrs 24mins
ROTF = 2hrs 30mins
DOTM = 2hrs 14mins
works for me

Mister Guy
Yep, in fact this guy reminds me of the troll that lurks on TFLAMB, who always says the movie is doomed because X reason (depending on what it is reported)
- Megan Fox isn't in DOTM, the movie is doomed because MB fired her.
- 3D, the movie is doomed because much time and budget is expend on it.
- The extra accident, the movie is doomed because of the lawsuit that will force them to cancel the production.
- MB gives and interview, the movie is doomed and MB is just trying to control the rumors by stating otherwise.
- The teaser, Daytona, etc. trailers... There are very few and too late, this means they haven't and won't finish the movie in time, the movie is doomed.
And now:
- Some good reviews from seen footage, the movie is doomed so MB is paying people to say they're very good.
- 15 min. less than previous movies, the movie is doomed because they won't be able to do much in the short span of 2 hours 14 minutes.

I just joined this board to reply to your very stupid statement. To say a movie will be awful because they've cut 15 minutes off of an already 2 hour runtime would be like saying the movie will be better because Bay added even more solar flares; it's erroneous. Does a ridiculously long runtime constitute a great movie to you? Where in the study of film have they found that the 3rd installment of a trilogy absolutely has to have the longest runtime, otherwise it's doomed to failure?
As stated by another user on this thread, the last movie would have hugely benefited if they would have cut out 15 minutes of the fart-and-dick jokes (or the Twins), so there.
In conclusion, longer does not mean better; less is always more. People like direct and to the plot without all the extra irrelevant BS that detours from the story. Now, I'm going to have to ask you to kindly sit your ass down with your misguided comments.
