Had its moments, but the moments were standard.

Rating: 4/10 (10 September 2011)

Okay, so Transformers 2 was my least favorite of the films. That's to put it simply. Honestly I don't like almost any of Michael Bay's films, other than the first Transformers and The Island. But the problem with this is more of the plot, characters, and, well, just about everything except for the perfect mix of childhood nostalgia and bad-ass action, along with very intricate special effects. That's all I give it credit for. Movies are a lot like telling a story. If someone was telling you a story, do you want him or her to constantly make explosions with their mouth, flinging spit everywhere? No, you wouldn't. You would want a story where the plot is compelling, the characters you can relate to but still have character, and a satisfying ending. This depends, of course, on the viewer, so I can't really blame you for thinking a little bit differently. I read a review that basically said that if you aren't the target audience, then you won't like it. I've totally lost my faith in humanity since the target audience is most of America, an impressionable, "this movie was good because of the effects" bunch. All in all, this movie had it's moments. Unfortunately, those moments were so subtle and so standard that the rest of the mess stands out like a sore thumb.
