I have studiously avoided this topic ...until now. Just got to see the movie and I must say it was AWESOME
The action was superbly done. kept me on edge at all times, which is difficult to do.
Shia needs to calm down though. I feel like the only roles I've ever seen him play I liked but he's always soooo angry. I want to see a diff side of him. Eh
And the chick was actually hotter in motion and action than in just trailers and stills. I was unimpressed originally but must change my mind after viewing the whole movie. She was actually very cool and awesome.

if you know what I mean by "cool" and "awesome" as applied to a girl.
