Great for what it is

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2009)

Everyone needs to understand that this movie is not going to be nominated for best picture of the year. Shia LaBeouf is not going to win best actor. It is a summer box office, popcorn flick. In that category this movie excelled. It could have had some better autobot/decepticon development, but the action, CGI, and humor were all better than the first. Don't give this one a 5 out of 10 because it is not The Godfather. Of course it isn't. Give it an 8 or above for its category because it definitely exceeded my expectations, and overall I was entertained. I thought that was the point of going to this movie, to be entertained.
