My Take on Transformers 2

Rating: 6/10 (28 June 2009)

I've noticed there are two different types of reviews. Those who completely hate this film and those who thought it was amazing. Well I don't really agree with either side on this one. While TF2 is certainly not brilliant, Bay knows how to entertain. Me and my friends went to see Transformers 2 and had a great time. We laughed at the cheesy dialogue, thought the special effects were awesome, decided to ignore the mediocre and melodramatic acting, forgot about the story, and had fun(also enjoyed Megan Fox).
It's no 'One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest' or for that matter 'Terminator 2'(made by the true king of action films) but it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be mindless fun, which doesn't take itself to seriously. All of Bay's films are like this. So enjoy TF2 for what it is. The best way to watch this movie is with a bunch of friends where you can laugh together and enjoy it. The problem with critics is that they get to critical, they forget about fun films. I love intellectual films where I have to think, but sometimes you just need to relax and escape real life.
I give it a 6/10
