This movie did exactly what it was suppose to do. It was loud had great CGI awesome fight scenes. Couple really good laughs. Anyone going to this movie expecting The Color Purple is an idiot. As for recommending to wait for this movie to come out on video or free on cable is terrible advice. This is the exact kind of movie you should see on the big screen with surround sound and some buttery popcorn and soda. Can’t believe everyone hating on this movie. Get out of here!

I saw the midnight premiere and thought it was awesome! You don’t really need a heavy plot when a building/person/car is being blown up every second of the movie. I would recommend seeing it in the theatre because it is easier to take it all in! LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!

They could have left the girl out of the entire movie for what little she contributed to it.

this from someone that’s entertained from the hills. blah! “men lie, women lie, numbers don’t” – jay-z. this movie is entertaining and it’ll make a shit load of money – that’s all that matters.

The film was both sexist and racist. Ugh, I hated it.

Im completely conflicted since I promised the boyfriend we’d go. I was somewhat fond of the first one b/c of Shia doing such a cute job and thought that the second one would be fun to see. I keep hearing bad reviews from people that usually have the same movie taste as me so now Im dreading tonight. I dont mind big action scenes but at least do right by the audience and have a decent plot structure. Ugh. At least there will be popcorn and a cute guy next to me.

I enjoyed it overall, but not as much as the first. I really like the Autobots and the effects are absolutely amazing. I was just sitting there completely amazed during some of the fight scenes that they can even do that so seamlessly. If you like the first movie, I think you should see the second one in theaters since that action scenes are sooo much better on the big screen!

same here. i didn’t HATE it to the point of vomitting, but I did feel a tad sleepy midway once I got used to the loud banging of metal on metal. and then after about 8 hourse of that, in the middle of all the explosions I realized that the movie has come to an end. I actually turned to my hubby and asked, “Is the bad robot dead? what just happened? why are they on a boat all happy? So the bad guy IS dead!”

Totally agree with you. It’s okay but it’s also not okay at the same time. The Twins are utterly annoying and useless. A lot of characters were underutilized, for example, the new autobots (the motorbikes) as well as Ironhide. Devastator was, well…just too bloody huge and utilize for wrong reason. nuff said.

I totally agree Trent. It was cool in the beginning b/c I live in Bethlehem, PA and got to see the helicopters filming at the steel plant (this becomes “Shanghai” in the first 15 mins. or so). But really, my husband and I both said that Megan Fox’s role was silly- purely for eye candy (not necessarily a bad thing) but I could see her being type casted if she’s not careful. The whole story was confusing to me- just silly and all over the place. I still love Shia though! Too cute! It was a bummer that they had to work that hand injury into the story- just seemed out of place. Very cool special effects! Did you think the two “gangsta” bots were a bit much?? The gold teeth, some raunchy jokes- not so kid friendly and there were many small children in our theatre (sorry, I’m a teacher!!).

I agree with alex. I just saw it earlier today, and it wasn’t too bad; I wanted to see a funny action flick and got it. Shia and Megan were decent…I mean, running and yelling, how hard is that? LOL! I loved the mom & dad!! I actually teared up a little bit, too.

With way too much money/time spent on special effects and zero time invested on a reasonable story, Michael Bay’s reputation remains the same. I would think he’d at least try to show he can make a movie with a decent storyline along with the action, but sadly, he’s still just an explosion guy.

I saw it last night. Of course it wasn’t as good as the first one, the first one was awesome and I watched it like 10 times already. But I did like this one. A lot more fights (where u could actually distinguished what the robots were doing while on the first one my impression was it was just pieces of metal rolling together and I couldn’t see much), a lot more humor, characters and action. I guess u could say that the plot is shit, but you also have to bear in mind that u r going to see an action flick and that’s it.
I don’t agree with you that u can wait to see it on dvd or cable, u would be missing a lot (image wise) these type of movies are better in theaters.
My 6 year old loved it (except the part when u know what happens to Optimus… he went “We should’ve gone to see Night at the Museum 2″ and he had this really sad look on his face hahaha). I enjoyed it and enjoyed that this one features a lot more Josh! You failed to mention that hahaha. Yum!!
Anyway, I still can’t get over how good Terminator was, so I’m quite satisfied with the action I got lately hahaha.

I think I’m seeing this movie tonight. Trent, how did Megan Fox do? I read her article that said she actually “tried” in this one.

I totally agree. Not only was the plot completely horrendous but the new characters skids & mudflap was like listening to fingernails running down the chalkboard. I get they’re trying to be children friendly but going the jar jar binks route was just wrong.
I thought they needed to chuck the actors for this flick and just make it an entire movie with big loud shiny fight scenes.

I saw it last night and honestly, i really liked it.
The first one, of course, was great, but i thought #2 was good.
It was funnier, more action, more robots, more everything.
Shia was great..

It was far from as good as the first. But it did seem to have a bit more of a comedic twist and Megan Fox looked hotter.
