    Paulbot: they should still screen it in English with subtitles -- I recommend you watch it in a local cinema. Hopefully the subtitles will be inside the black "letterbox" beneath the image so that it doesn't actually obscure any of the visuals (and makes the print easier to read anyway). Depends on whether or not they want to write the subtitles horizontally or vertically - if it's vertical then that might partially obscure one side of the screen. Maybe inquire with some people living there as to how subtitles are usually printed on foreign movies in that region. I'll be in a non-English speaking country when Thor comes out, so I'll let you know how the subs were positioned.

    I've lost count of the number of times I've watched TF and ROTF on DVD. But as far as cinemas are concerned:
    Transformers: x3 - once at the Fox Studios premiere, once at the Sydney movie meet, once with the wife
    Revenge of the Fallen: x3 - once at the IMAX premiere, once at Reading Cinema with dirge, once at the drive-in with the wife and bub

    I saw Transformers 3 times at the movies and ROTF twice. I don't know how many times I've watched them on dvd countless times. Originally I wasn't that excited about DOTM. I knew a third one was coming and thought yeah great. The name "Dark of the Moon" made me totally loose my interest as I thought it was a stupid name. The first trailer didn't do much to reignite my interest... Then I saw the the superbowl and daytona spots and... I am so freaking excited. I can't wait.
    HATRED FOR JAMES VAN DER BEEK RISING!

    I saw the first movie twice at cinemas. I remember feeling dissapointed, it didn't live up to m expectations. I've watched it on DVD numerous times though. This one time I went through and time how much screen time Transformers got, not including scenes with Scorponock and Frenzy. It worked out to be about 35 minutes from a 2 hour movie. I undertand to a degree why this was so but still pathetic.

    I saw ROTF once at the movies and again on DVD numerous times. I was touched by Primes death and outraged when they dropped his body onto the tarmac. The jokes were bad. I really loved it. But as time went on things in the movie (2 dogs humping, Dev scrotum and any scene with Agent Simmons) started to S*@% me. Was all that nessecary?

    I'm pumped for DOTM but will probably only see it once. The previews i've seen look awesome. I'm hoping less stupid humour and more Transformer time. And a reduction in Prime speeches, less talk more shoot!

    Sadly I had only seen the first 2 at the cinemas once each. First one was at the Drive-in, then the second one was at Imax. Wonder if I will see this next one at somewhere special as well?

    Haven't really watched em much on DVD either. I have too many movies

    I'll be watching it on day one in a Gold Class cinema with a big group of mates. It comes out on my Birthday so this'll count as my celebration!

    Whoa that's an awesome way to celebrate your birthday!

    Would anyone see it Gold Class? I haven't actually done gold class before but for a Michael Bay movie I know that I'll get heaps of bang for my buck.

    Well I hated the 2nd movie far more than I enjoyed the first and I honestly loved the first film. I came out of the cinemas so angry my friends didn't want to be near me. I'm not sure if I'll even bother to see the new one when it comes out. I'll probably wait for DVD to see how bad it is.
