2. How can a movie about 2 1/2 hrs. be considered Short? I went to A 1:30 showing and it ended @ 4 pm. 144 min...I don't think thats short really. Characters. You should obviously know Sam. The others..maybe not so much, but, were they really THAT important to know about to begin with?
3. And..all the decepticons apparently died too. yeah..Original! btw, the Autobot was named Jazz.

The movie rocked, I'd pay to see it again. I am also very glad that they left Optimus as a Semi-Truck and Starscream as the Jet fighter. ( I'm not sure on starscream, but I remember hearing they were gonna do Optimus as a Firetruck, Wtf..)
