I have to say that I saw this movie with no expectations and LOVED it. The action scenes are top notch, the CGI is seamless, the lines are witty and humerous, and the acting was surprisingly good. Another thing that blew me away was the music. The last thing I expected from this movie was good music. This movie awoke a new hobbie in me, and I am now collecting the action figures and have both the nintendo ds games. I have probably watched it 10 times. I will not put a age group recommendation on it because there was a wide range of ages at the movie theater, ages 5 to 60, male and female, who also liked it because they cheered at the end. I cannot wait for Transformers 2, scheduled for realease June 26th, 2009.
