A nutshell review on this summer's talked about sequel.

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 2009)

Transformers 2 has had a lot to offer. Including the usage of more Autobots and Decepticons than the first one had to offer. As well as a continuing story from what was left off in the previous installment.
In the sequel, the Autobots have form alliance with the U.S. military in tracking down the remaining Decepticons that are wandering around parts of the world. While Sam is trying to keep his involvement with Optimus to a minimum by attending college, however after encountering a piece of the all spark from the first movie. A great deal of information had raced through his own head, and Sam ends up writing symbols of a code to something that the Decepticons are interested in getting hold of. Sam who tries his hardest to live a normal college life finds himself involve with the Autobots saving the planet yet again.
This sequel was slightly better than the first one, but it didn't get where it was suppose to in surpassing the original. One would think that Michael Bay and the rest of the film team would be able to know what the old and new fans of the franchise want to see in a Transformers movie. The only pet peeve about this movie was the scenes that weren't necessary for the story itself, most the ones that involved the humans. While there's so much they could of added for this movie. Maybe giving some more screen time for most of the Transformers or more scenes involving Decepticon hunting.
The only reason why I gave this movie an 8/10 was cause of the usage of more transformers than the other one and the transformer battles which saved the movie from being bad. I would give it a 9/10 if they took out the unneeded parts of the movie and more screen time on the Transformer's side of the movie.
There's always a chance for the third installment to be better than this one. But let's hope they'll learn their pet peeves and know what to include for the next sequel. My suggestion is include a battle royal of at least a hundred Autobots and Decepticons fight against one another, that's what I'd like to see for a third installment, cause what would be more entertaining than watching all of your favorite transformers having their own role in the field of battle.
