It's been a long time since I've seen a theater that packed. I still see him as that little guy from Even Stevens. Good for him.
Or good for the machines?
Who gets the credit?

Ehh...I think these movies would be popular regardless of who starred in them. I STILL see Shia as the little kid from Even Stevens. Dude looks like a 14 year
old with facial hair. I do not understand the sexual appeal.

I think it's the machines. I would guess 90% of those people don't care who is playing the human rolls

It's a summer blockbuster about a popular franchise. Had little to do (if anything) with Shia

Yeah, it's weird to see the kid from Even Stevens as a big young actor.

The fact that he was IN these blockbusters has to say something for his rising star since the exposure is so massive, even if he has the machines to thank! |

He's the only reason I watched the first one. And he'll be the only reason I watch the new one.

I saw it for Shia and because I loved the first one. But I also think Shia is an amazing actor, and yes have had a crush on him since Even Stevens.

I think the percentage of people that saw Transformers FOR Shia LeBouf is less than 5%. Anyone could have been in these movies, it's not exactly hard to be
in a blockbuster movie with tons of CGI and shiny things.

It's safe to say Transformers would be a huge hit with or without him, but he IS a huge star now because of it.

I agree you put anyone else in that role, and the movie still is huge. He should start mixing it up...He was Oscar worthy in " The Greatest game ever played" |

I don't care for Shia but I went to the premiere and I can tell you Shia got the biggest yells/screams/whistles, twice as loud as Megan Fox. So I don't
think people didn't see it for him, he does have fans.
The movie sucked anyway, so I agree about the majority of fans saw for bots. |

Some of his upcoming projects are going to be nothing like this.

I saw Holes and Disturbia for him. I actually watched the first Transformers because of him. But I actually really liked the movie so I saw the 2nd one because
of him AND the bots. Megan Fox sucked so much worse in the 2nd than the 1st.
