As a movie buff who usually dissects movies, with an action film this great, there's nothing to dissect, ITS CALLED HAVING FUN AND IMMERSING YOURSELF IN ENTERTAINMENT

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2009)

I am having trouble understanding why ROTF is getting all the negativity it has been. I'll be honest I walked in skeptical after reading the reviews, but came out confused at why it was getting this punishment. If you liked the first one you'll LOVE this one! When you go see a film titled "TRANSFORMERS", DO NOT expect this years "Best Picture with dazzling performances (well, the robots performed, but until there is a best supporting autobot award, you still are watching Lebouf and Fox at the lead, not exactly DiCaprio & Winslett!!!)". This is not Slumdog Millionaire, No Country for Old Men, etc etc. this was clearly made as an action film. and it was a GREAT action film. This film had just as good of a plot (actually 3, 1 main and 2 great sub plots, saying no more, don't want any spoilers!) as the first film. The acting was maybe even a step up (even MEgan Fox, wasn't all there just for her stunning STUNNINGNESS, she actually wasn't a piece of wood talking). The only downfall is Bay struggles at overusing a joke multiple times, too many sexual innuendos, but it doesn't distract you for long at all. He could have also narrowed down some scenes(not the action though!) to bring the film to 2hrs from 2 1/2, but it wasn't hard to watch either way. I can't say much more, sometimes, especially with the way the world is today, you need to step out of reality and into a world of entertainment, that is what the magic of movies is all about, and for 2 1/2 hours, I was there again, and its been awhile since I went to a movie with no intent on dissecting it, just watching it for pure fun!!! Im sure my review on Public Enemies will be more in depth, and why not, Depp, Bale, Mann...
The basic...
GREAT ACTION, Great intriguing plots for an action film, good character development for old and new characters, hilarious one liners, and Bumblebee and Optimus are killer! Go see this film to be entertained and enjoy some Michael Bayed explosions, DO NOT go if you can't just enjoy some fun without being critical, Stupid critics, wait for a film that is centered around drama and A-list actors who are EXPECTED to give it their all!!!
