Disappointing Overall

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2009)

5 out of 10 is being generous. Not because of the acting or special effects. Those were all great, but...
I couldn't enjoy the movie because it was soooooo full of constant cussing and sexuality.
The first movie had a little of both, but this has a lot and it's too much, especially when you consider that this is marketed to kids. I mean come on, Wheelie humping the girls leg? Get a life! And how many times do we need to see dogs humping? And the man with the thong... totally unnecessary. Is that as original as the writers can be. That's not transformers, it's smut.
As an adult I didn't want all of that in a transformers movie. As a dad it down right offends me.
There were so many degrading, foul, and perverted things that it totally robbed me of the joy of the story line and action.
Story line- this was okay. Continuity wasn't there. Lot's of inconsistencies and contradictions. They could've taken out all the time spent on cussing and sexual stuff and actually focused more on the robots. Come on, it's called transformers. I liked the idea, just wish they would've done more with it. And the whole "heaven" ending didn't make any sense. I also would've liked to have seen a few more auto-bots in the story.
Special effects - Really really cool. Awesome stuff.
Action - Tons of action.
Characters - I liked them all, they did a good job, but what happened to Megan Fox? Did she go plastic trying to look like Angelina Jolie? She didn't need to, she was a beautiful person the way she was, now she looks like a "wanna be". I kept looking at her thinking she doesn't even look the same. Is that what Hollywood does to people?
Transformers - Devastator was a major disappointment. Sorry, but prowling around like an animal isn't gonna cut it. What happened to being a real threat? Jet Fire being old and needing a cane was stupid. He's supposed to be big and tough, like the Fallen.
I'd love to see them make a third one that actually is family friendly and about transformers, not some smut film that's marketed to kids using toys and cool previews of really cool robots to suck them in.
