I liked the movie. It seemed like the 2nd gen saw more action than the 5th gen though.

Finish watching it two hours ago. One word "GREAT"!! Even my wife said it's GREAT. Everyone is screaming once the 09 camaro coming out from the tunnel, as well as Ultima Prime.

GM should release the new bumble bee now rather than next year, as the heat of the movie will heat up the sales too.

this is a must see at the theaters... its worth the 8-10 bucks to see. the action, the CGI, every thing is awesome espesially if your theater shows the movie in the new digital way (i forgot what its called). And the Camaro. simply sweet and bad ***, everyone in the theater was cheering when bumble bee swapped from the 70s camaro to the new one in the tunnel. must see movie for every one even if you arnt a camaro fan.

Same at our theater. That reaction has to say something. No one even gave a second glance at the Mustang cop car. Was like yah, yet another mustang

Still was pretty funny when 1st gen bumble bee smacked the yellow bug in the used car dealership. Anyone one that didn;t see the promo's or internet buzz had to be thinking he was going to jump in that one.
