The litte know leading acctress was gorgeous.

The little know leading actor was believeable

The pace and timing of the music and the scenes were phenomenal.

Richard Bay is a timing geneous.

I would pay to watch this movie several more times.

The effects were the best I've ever seen. No cartoony images like in Spiderman. Very convincing.

I score it an 11 out of 10 for overall enjoyability.

The action, drama, comic relief, and romance were very well mixed and presented.

Finally, the 2010 Camaro is the hero of the film. (Don't worry, I am not blowing anything.)

So, they were housing Megatron within the Hoover dam (which is just outside Las Vegas, where I live). The troops landed at Nellis Air Force Base (right up the road from my house) yet when they left Hoover Dam, they drove only a few miles before being attacked be the Deceptacons, and the fight ensued in what looks like Chicago or possibly New York City or Manhattan Island?!?!?!?!?! Is it just me, or did that not make any sense?

Jason, I can guarantee you that every single scene was shot in L.A. and East L.A.

We remember when they were shooting a few blocks from my old house the the river scene is obviously the L.A. River.

The downtown scenes were without a doubt Broadway in Downtown L.A.
Because of the Orpheum theater.


The several shots of the skyline shows the new famous Library tower.

Remember that they called it "Mission City."

Anyone looking to see Live Free or Die, don't expect much from the film. I'll admit that I enjoyed it immensely, simply because I went into it not expecting a bunch. There's too many WTF moments, like... uhhh... and that is possible in WHAT dimension?

Overall the film was good, and I would not tell anyone not to go see it for fear of it not being worth the 10$ (unless u get pop and a tub-o-hydrogenated-fat-n-oil popped kernals, then make it 30$. that would be stretching it) [sm=joke.gif]


Haven't seen Transformers, but I might just have to take my lil bro to it.

Hello all! I went to see Transformers last night, and it was fantastic! The special effects were unparalleled. You have never seen effects like this in a movie before. I think that some of the action scenes were a little too fast paced - it was hard to take in all that was going on (this might have been due to the fact that I got to the theater a little late and ended up sitting in the third row..lol). Alot of product placement throughout the move though (ahem...GM...cough...camaro...)
