I'm sure some of you might have noticed that I approach any TRANSFORMERS related story with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for Tom Cruise and couches, and today is no different. Producer Tom DeSanto has said that it tested "higher than any other of Michael [Bay]'s movies... It's good, everybody's excited. It's a great time right now because in a summer of sequels, we're going to be bringing something new to the table."

DeSanto also discussed the ending of the movie somewhat, saying that "It's one ending. It's one story. It's a beginning, middle and end. The ending works. It's great too because yeah, there's going to be giant robots but there's romance in there and Shia has a real emotional storyline that at the end, you're really rooting for him."I think the question of the ending could be important, because obviously we want things to be left open for a sequel (or at least I do), and so we can't have the all the Decepticons dead when the dust has settled. And as for LaBeouf, I actually really like the guy (THIS sealed the deal for me), but let's call a spade a spade, the only person I'm rooting for in this movie is gonna be Prime.

Extra Tidbit: Running time for the movie clocks in at a cool 2 hours.

i don't think 2 hours is enough for my robots-fuckin'-going-on-a-rampage needs.

I love destruction!!!
Alongside DMC, this is the movie I am most looking forward to! Michael Bay has never let me down (not entirely, anyway) - hell even the Directors Cut of Pearl Harbor gave me sweet nuggets of cool violence (even though I see no connection to historical events so I guess, on that huge level, the movie was a failure). Bring on Transformers!!!

Definately pumped for this. I was one of those impatient assholes who read one of the early drafts of the script and I can tell you, it's gonna be a banger. But the run time? I had hoped it would have been at least 20-30 minutes longer. They got alot of shit to pack into 2 hours.

how did i know?
As soon as I clicked the link from "THIS sealed the deal for me," I just knew it was going to be that Dear Sister short. Hilarious stuff. Shia's a great actor.

He was also great in DISTURBIA.

Only 2 hours? Eh... don't get me wrong. I'm excited for this, but I was expecting it to be a tad bit longer like 2 1/2-3 hours since all Bay's movies are that long.
