@S4TE is the official Michael Bay.com twitter account and they tweeted that the DOTM run time was approximately 134 minutes. That's 2 hours 14 minutes if you don't want to do the math. To put this in perspective, the first movie ran 144 minutes and ROTF ran 150 minutes.
That's the shortest of the trilogy but do they make the best use of that time? You will find out come June 29.

It's not like this is a short film, it's just over 2 hours, that's very common movie length. And it's only, what, like fifteen minutes shorter than ROTF? The only person who would be able to notice the difference while in the theater would be Rain Man.

Comments like this crack me up. At least 80 mins of Transformers!?!?!?! The movie is called Transformers, they should be in the entire length of the damn movie. And don't feed the whole "CG is expensive" crap either. This film franchise essentially prints money, it's Bay's golden egg goose. So they got the money for CG.
Sorry bout the rant. Now to the topic at hand.
2 hours 14 mins, quite lengthy. Not sure if that's a good thing. The first 2 movies were way too long(my only gripe about the first one, one of many about the second one), alot of fat coulda been trimmed from both flicks, lotta useless nonsense coulda been cut. The pacing coulda been tighter. So I'm imagining that there's gonna be alot of useless nonsense that could be cut from this one as well.
@autobot032,
How would I go about seeing this fan edit of the first film?

Exactly. How long something is and how long something feels are often two different things.* You ever have that feeling that one day passed much faster than any other day despite being the exact same length?
*Well no one can take THAT one the wrong way.

This is very true. Between the light-saber fights and space battles, I remember my mind wandering every so often when I watched Revenge of the Sith at the theater. I wondering when the movie was going to end. I've watched longer movies before, but Revenge of the Sith just made me phase out and start counting the pieces of popcorn in the bucket.
The action scenes were nice, but the whole Amidala/Anikin thing...eh.

Folks, I'm not trying to be mean, I swear. I'm actually trying to help you here. But...didn't any of you read the updates or the news, at all?
This will be the third or fourth time I've posted it, hopefully someone will read it instead of having to ask...
DOTM will be released in 2D, 3D, and IMAX/IMAX 3D.
The film was not made using IMAX cameras, hence no IMAX footage.
The first report was 134 minutes. (2 hours, 14 minutes, making it the shortest of the three.)
The second report was 153 minutes. (2 hours, 33 minutes, making it the longest of the three.)
The third report was that IMAX would receive the 153 minute cut, and regular theatrical would receive the 134 minute cut.
Both Bay (via Tweeting) and Nelson (via ShootForTheEdit forums and a direct phone call to Bay himself) have confirmed that there is no special IMAX edition. There is no special footage, no extra footage. The film, that everyone will see, is 153 minutes with end credits. The actual film itself, minus those credits will be 2 hours, 22 minutes. That means there's 11 minutes worth of credits.
That's the final word on it. 153 minutes WITH credits. 142 without credits.
We good?

Because most people don't like it when you ask questions they've already answered repeatedly. It's always better to look to see if someone's already answered a question before you ask it.

If you're not willing to put in the two minutes it takes to Google this, then don't be surprised when people get frustrated at answering it again, or just outright ignore you.
And "having a life" does not mean you can't spare those two minutes to avoid making someone repeat themselves over and over.

Really? That's your frame of reference? It's like a fifteen minute difference, that's not a lot. Most movies don't run nearly as long. 100 minutes is the standard, DOTM is 30 to 50 minutes longer. And even if it is the shortest of the three, it's the shortest of the three by only a few minutes, you are not going to be able to notice the difference.

Google isn't that reliable. The websites I'm getting are from local movie theatres that claim it's 109 minutes long. This forum is a more reliable source.
You can also get misinformed in two minutes, I guess.

This is still beyond the point, though. Everyone is free to ask any question here as long as it is in accordance with the forum rules, right? So if you see a question asked a second time, anyone is free to ignore it. Autobot032 could have easily done this, but hasn't and in doing so helped someone else.
Much of the information out there can be found through some way or another, the easiest way is just asking. Helping people help themselves is a good thing, but sighing while doing so is, at least, somewhat weird, wouldn't you say?
Search functions are a good thing, but those are not the alpha and omega of knowledge, you also need to be able to ask the right question.

So another words again NEVER ask the same quetion twice right Shadowman ?

The previous posted info is for your own benefit, so you shouldn't have to search, but no one will sticky the important points, and even if they did...they still don't get 'em exactly right.

Haha! I will take any excuse to talk clothes!
Ed Hardy usually refers to the "designer"(and I use this term loosely) clothes that have patterns "inspired by" the tattoo artist, Ed Hardy.
It tends to be the name-brand bogans wear, it's always gaudy and ugly and just has no class what-so-ever.

Ah, so basically it's "fashion" for your run of the mill, popped collar douchebags, or the Jersey Shore cast. Got it. Thank you for the explanation. It's something that's always had me wondering.
Alright, bringing this back on track.
As for it being a written/unwritten rule, every board I've been to will have someone nicely point you towards using the search function because "we already have a million of these posts". The next time, not so nice. As it goes on, people get pissier and pissier. Then it's just "USE THE !@#$In' SEARCH, YOU !@##$"
Then the mods or admins have to step in and clean up the thread and tell the OP, "We have a search function, please use it in the future. If you can't, this will be considered spam, so please stop. Ignorance is not an excuse anymore." (<----I have actually seen that posted, in those exact words. Not here, but on a different board.)
However, to be fair to the posters, when an item isn't stickied, or the facts in that stickied post aren't correct, people are going to ask questions, and there needs to be answers.
I try my best to help people, and yes I did sigh. Why? Not because someone was asking a question. But because people were asking the same question over and over and no one's getting a straight answer. Then, when I give one, it's picked apart and people say things like "Bay and Nelson lie all the time, this is just part of their disinformation campaign."
It's a little tiresome, actually. I'm not going to give up helping people, especially when I can actually help them, but I'm not going to be happy about it if they're ingrates or it falls on deaf ears and does no good.
Oh and as for Bay and Nelson lying? Why would they lie about the running time?
They told the truth about the first film having a longer running time in IMAX.
They told the truth about the second one have a minute longer with special IMAX scenes.
This film wasn't made with IMAX cameras, so no special scenes, plus Bay would be all about "check out the exclusive footage at your local IMAX" if they were pushing a special edition. Not to mention, they lie about the story to keep us guessing and not spoil everything, they wouldn't lie about a technical detail such as it's running time. That? They have no reason to.
People hate so much, they have blinders on. Some of their comments are true, but some, such as the running time issue...just flat out hatred blinding them from having common sense.
"He lied about the running time! Bastard!" *SLAP*

if its bad, it wont be short enough
And it is common courtesy to not keep posting the same questions over and over again, without looking for the answer in a thread. In some forums its a slap on the wrist, in others a temp banning
