Special F/X plus Megan Fox balance out awful script.

Rating: 6/10 (28 June 2009)

Look, they pushed this out to capitalize on the success of the first movie and it shows in the script and story (if you can call it that).
It's not that the plot is incomprehensible, it's just that it doesn't mean anything or amount to anything. Anybody looking for more mythology into cybertron, origins of Autobots or decepticons will be sorely disappointed. Then again, anybody with half a brain can figure out that Michael Bay has never been, nor ever will be interested in aspects of film-making that actually add depth to a story. The movie is 2+ hours of explosions, gunfire, and violence interspersed with pitiful attempts at humor.
That being said, the special f/x in this movie are without question some of the best I have ever seen, the pyrotechnics, the CGI, the choreographed battle sequences are first rate, the movie delivers the punch in that department. In the end, it's about what I expected.
