No stupid a$$ Gay Bill Ford just isnt smart enough to get involved, he doesnt know what sells

HOWEVER Chevy did and it's all over the news on how it's boosting their sales and will take them to record breaking sales as a result of the all time money making movie opening. As most have prob seen they also use it in commercials all day and night long on TV to help promote sales even more

I havent seen it but I belive the News said one of the Transformers is a Camaro and another an Avalance, maybe a Pick up in there too ???
Either way smart move for Chevy and they will reek the rewards to line their pockets with.....

The Mustang police car bad guy got a lot of screen time.. But GM vehicles dominated the line up.. Of course there was also a F-22 and M1 Tank..

The movie is alright.. but the fight scenes are a little confusing.. don't know who or what is shooting at who or what... Gave me a headache... the total destruction is cool...

What city was that they were destroying? they were at the hoover damn, then a few minutes later a huge city, and that was not vegas...

yeah... the mustang bad cop was cool...

saw it last night, good flick action scenes basically the entire movie. special effects where great however i agree with ck that the fight scenes were a little confusing, very fast moving and voomed in close so it made it hard to make out what was going on because so many things were moving around. first movie in 5 years that i was not upset spending the 10 bucks on.

I enjoyed Ocean's 13 also, but generally I'm with you.. I went to a lot of crap.

yep, took my boys last night. They loved it. The mustang police car was bad a$$..... Chevy def got more screen time. I also saw a plug for apple...funny how they always get the back of the laptop with the apple logo. I told my boys that it would have been better if one of them would have been a lightning.....they wouldnt have had to worry about the police mustang catching them ...

The opening scene was prolly the best......

BTW; I kept hearing a whistle under the hood of the new camaro when it was in the throttle. Was it a turbo car or just sound effects. I thought it could have been modded for the movie, if it was sound effects they did a good job....

They opened the hood on the old camaro, not the new one. Movie cars are often modded for performance of both power and suspension. I dont guess it really matters but I just noticed the whistle under throttle. It sounded good anyway....Dam good lookin car. When are they supposed to hit the road?
