Trivia:
The Transformers were created with a mix of computer-generated imagery (from Industrial Light & Magic and Digital Doman) and props (from KNB Effects). The props built include the miniature All Spark; Optimus Prime's head, chest and foot; Megatron's legs and claws; Barricade's pop-out sensors; Blackout's feet; Bonecrusher's claw; Scorponok's head and tail; a 17-foot model of Bumblebee; and a 4-foot model of Frenzy (the latter three in life-size). While ILM designed 75% of the 630 effects shots in the film, Digital Domain handled the remaining 25%, which include the Arctic discovery of Megatron, Frenzy's animated head, the machines mutated by the All Spark, and the Autobots' protoforms. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Sam leaves his house with the Transformers he is carrying his brown jumper. The scene then changes to him talking with the Transformers and he has his brown jumper on. Then the angle changes, and he has his jumper over his shoulder again. more

Optimus Prime:
Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That is how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony. But like all great power, some wanted it for good...

If you want Transformers then this movie delivers in spades.
The CGI, the story, the human characters and of course the robots.
If you're a fan of the original cartoon series then you will be a fan of the movie. Some elements from the original story have been changed but that in no way detracts from the movies excitement.
From the opening helicopter attack at the airforce base to the final battle in the city the action is unrelentless.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who has a love for good old fashioned rumbles. Even the transformation are spectacular. The highlight would have to be Optimus Primes transformation when he is squaring off against Megatron.
Shia Lebouf puts heart and soul into his role and makes it believable for the audience. Megan Fox is good eye candy but also had a good role. Anthony Anderson was a little wasted as far as comic relief. John Turturro does a far better job in that department.
Overall, I know that many people don't like Michael Bay and what he does with his movies but here, in this movie, his style of direction fits the bill to a tee! Bring on the sequel!
