Pro: Fighting Robots

Rating: 2/10 (25 June 2012)

If anything the action in this movie was far better than the first as Bay zoomed further out from the battle scenes. So in terms of providing some pointless popcorn entertainment this movie ticked the main boxes. However, the main plot and the historical set up was muddled and somewhat stupid, the characters were even more cartoonish and the dialogue even more fragmented, unprovoked and out of context. The humorous parts from the first movie were replaced with a series of misplaced and increasingly inappropriate p###s and urination jokes with the only successful comedy being delivered from the ever reliable John Turturro.
