A wild, overwhelming, yet entertaining ride.

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2009)

REVIEW
It felt like riding in a washing machine for a few hours. A wild and direct assault on the human senses. However, there are flaws.
Cons: -Convoluted plot that jumps across the map -The Twins humor is hit and miss (Mostly miss) -overwhelming and bloated at times have you trying to recover -other humor is hit or just there (I didn't laugh or shake my head a lot)
Pros: -the cinematography of the action scenes is excellent yet kinetic. Easy to tell what happens and gives you the feeling that you are in the battle (Forest, Shanghai, Egypt) -epic music score from Steve Jablonsky -superb voice acting on Peter Cullen, Tony Todd, and Hugo Weaving along with the rest -Shia and Megan have a nice chemistry while John Turturro returns as an ally instead of a silly adversary -Duhamel and Gibson make dependable soldiers -the computer FX blend in well with the on location environments -pyrotechnics, stunts, and computer FX are excellent
3.8 out of 5.0
I like the first one slightly more but this one upends it in the machine vs. machine action. I could have done without the Twins but Sideswipe, The Fallen, Devastator, JetFire and other additions were welcome. (Not enough Sideswipe though)
Nice to see StarScream and Megatron bicker at each other.
