more of the same for series fans

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2011)

Despite all his past heroic deeds, and support and affection of his new girlfriend, Sam Witwicky can't seem to get any respect or even find a job. Meanwhile, a high-tech Cybertronian spacecraft has been discovered on the moon and the intrepid Autobots-still acting as the unofficial protectors of planet Earth-are determined to try and stop the evil Decepticons from acquiring it...or something. Story is confusing, the action scenes hollow, the characters one-dimensional, the special effects no longer special, and to make matters worse it goes on forever. An overlong, overblown sequel that's sure to find its target audience. *½
