slightly improves on the OK original, but still ends up being worse?

Rating: 4/10 (5 June 2011)

The action is much better in this movie compared to the first, but that's really the only improvement.
The list of things that made it worse is very long: introducing more human characters that no one cares about; introducing two robots who are total racist caricatures; tries to make us care about Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox's boring relationship; tries to make Megan Fox a deep character, but still shoots like a porn star; make the movie longer The Dark Knight; and tons of failed attempts at fratboy humor, including giving the bad robot a scrotum during the longest climax ever known to man. That's just scratching the surface.
Let's just say this movie is one of the few that literally made me feel like my IQ dropped as I left.
