Box-office BLOCKBUSTER, riding on cool CGI effects...

Rating: 5/10 (10 July 2009)

I will divide my review into following 5 categories each accounting a maximum of 100%(if perfect)
________________________________________________________________
Visual Pleasure:[76%] There were basically 2 reasons I saw this, first being the fighting scenes between the Transformers and second being Megan Fox. My first wish was fulfilled, there's a lot of action and I love that (the best sequence was the one where Optimus Prime fights Megatron, Starscream and Grindor...superb). For some reason I felt Megan was portrayed much better in the first film. The reason I cut 24% is because they showed these Robots as sex machines (that was insulting...Wheelie & Devastator disgusted me).
Director's Work:[10%] This guy is a little crazy. Someone should tell him to stop filling the films with his crappy humor. I really don't know what his job requirements are since the cool-CGI stuff is not his responsibility, he's pretty much useless or maybe there is something for him...lets see: shout ACTION, CUT and PACK-UP.
Acting:[20%] Come on people we are talking about Transformers (particularly not famous for its acting). IMO the best actor was Optimus Prime.
Entertainment Value:[74%] Its 74% entertaining and most of that 74% is because of the cool CGI-effects. As all of you know, seeing Davastator and the Autobots (excluding the Twins), Decepticons in action was cool.
Script:[12%] The only thing that comes close to the bad direction is the Script. The Twins were Stupid and irritating to say the least (I don't know why they were given so much attention and screen time...they never looked heroic to me). Quite a few scenes were really unwanted. I hope they seriously prepare a good script for the next one (if there is one...looking at the box office numbers, there will be a Transformers 3).

All the people who LOVED the first film should LIKE this. Anyone who's looking for a time-pass film can watch this. I saw this movie on the first day, first show for Rs.50 (around US$ 1 ...matinee show) and I don't feel cheated. My advice is watch this one at a theater with cheap ticket-price (if possible) and you won't regret it. Some cool CGI stuff waiting for you.
