More of the Same

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2014)

Almost everybody has returned for this one. Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) is going to college. He finds a shard of the AllSpark which has given him visions of symbols. Meanwhile the Autobots are battling the Decepticons with the help of human forces. However, the president's man is unconvinced, and wonder if the Decepticons are on Earth only to hunt the Autobots. And that maybe it would be better if the Autobots leave Earth and lead the Decepticons to follow them.
It's good that both Shia and Megan Fox return as well as many of the others. The action is still over the top extravaganza. There're a few too many slow motion for my taste. I'd rather it speed by, and maintain the pace rather than sit there and gawk. But if you like the first one, the second one will give you more of the same. The big thing I don't like is that the Bots seems to be still kept a secret. That's really unreasonable considering what happened in the first movie.
