    "HAPPY ENDING" which part had a happy ending but the 1st three, and the happy ending is known that it will noy=t last, if u read the rest of the books u'll see how many not-so-happy events happened and how it affected the heroes, I agree though that they are "repetitive piece of dribble" I noticed that in the 1st three also, they only focused on Harry and forgot all about his friends and the relationships between them and other elements of the story but fortunately in the 4th instalment they realized that they need to take the spotlight off Harry for a while and it really worked and I'm sure in the 5th instalment and the rest of them will be the same.
    Aliens coming out of space to save the earth is way less imaginative than The Potter events and don't tell me other than that...
    Potter is better than TF that's a Fact deal with it.
    TF is not even a movie to be compared to Potter, seriously I can't think of a really stupid movie to compare it to this piece of crap (maybe Fantastic 4)

    Went to the Monday showing and loved it. I honestly didn't think it was going to be as entertaining as it was.
    As far as the Harry Potter comments go you've got to be kidding me right? First off it's a tired repetitive piece of dribble; wizards get in trouble by unknown force, group together and fight it off, and happy ending. Transformers had action along with a fairly relevant story plot and it an all around good flick. Also, I don't see how it's more "imaginative" then Transformers. 100 ft. giant robots from space seem to fall under the mythical definition if I'm not mistaken. If you think Transformers is "geekier" then HP.. Wow, just wow. Way to bet on the right pony there...

    How can Harry Potter be better than tranformers. A little kids book is better then sh*t blowing. Who cares about a f*cking storyline when there is so much action. And who the f*ck thinks Harry Potter has a good storyline. The script is basic sh*t on paper.

    What's up with u people?? There is no comparison between Potter And TF. TF really sucked, although I had a high expectations on TF, i really tried to like it but I couldn't i wanted to leave in the middle of the movie it was only full of stupid action, the story was shallow the acting was awful the screenplay was sooo immature. I really expected the Heroes to be more serious or at least powerful they only took beatings and kept destroying everything just to entertain the audience and add some 'WOW.. did u see that' moves and action sequences. on the other hand Potter have a strong storyline, acting, drama, action, magic and most of all Imagination, humanity, sacrifices. it's far more advanced than Tf could ever dream of

    For Frenzy2001 who said i don't understand movies I just wanna say that I know about movies more than you could ever imagine with your narrow, what is so called, mind

    Great results for just the midnight shows. As for all of the "Potter" comments... I also like Harry Potter, they are very good movies, but if you think Transformers is "GEEK-ie" and Harry Potter isn't, than you just don't understand movies.

    The movie is so GEEK-ie, i've seen it today and it really sucked, it's made only for the Fans not for the real movie fans, so If u re not a real Transformers fan don't see it it's a waste of time, hold your money for another week and go see Harry Potter
