A Mixed Bag

Rating: 7/10 (26 June 2009)

Let it be known. I enjoyed this movie. Loved the first movie but only enjoyed this one. There were some major problems with this one.
Good: -Better action sequences for the most part. -Lennex and his crew are more interesting and their alliance with the Autobots is one of the most interesting parts of this movie. -Optimus kicks even more ass -Despite being borderline racist, Mudflap and Skids are pretty funny. -Shia Labeouf has improved and his character does more. -Megan Fox. Just throwing out there. -Plot was good -Jetfire was interesting
Negatives: -A gigantic lack of character development with many Transformers, even ones we already meet (save for Starscream who does more in this one). There are about four new Autobots (three are like the same, except for colour) who we never get told the names of and there are countless Decepections. We were severally missing the Autobots assembled of number 1 or the Decepections moving(where their names are said). -Megatron bowing to the "Fallen". WTF!? -Megatron absolutely getting his ass handed to him by Optimus twice when in the first he beat the sh** out of him. -Devastor dying and his um... metal balls. This rises up to many questions. -Soundwave not doing anything. -Blackout and others returning from the dead with no explanation.(Megatron was explained... a bit)
This seems like a lot of negatives and it is. However, the movie is very enjoyable. The first was one of my favourites. This was good but disappointing. It saddened me that Michael Bay forgot so much about his first movie that he brought back characters from the dead and turn his alpha villain in to some little dog that plays fetch for his master
