I could go on, but I'll make this brief enough.

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2009)

I could write a legitimate novel on how horrendous this film was. I get tired of everyone who complains "well, I just saw it for Megan Fox," or "I just saw it for the action." There is no justification for saying this film was anything better than what it is: an insult. Michael Bay is given enough money to feed an entire African nation and gives us THIS. The acting was awful, and I'll admit that in these sorts of films, usually, that would be no problem. But Mr. Bay went as far as to say that the acting wasn't only supposed to be good, but it was. His only redemption and HE squashes it. Kudos, idiot. And as for the writing, it's no secret as to the immature, offensive, plot-hole-filled wretchedness that shows no bounds; the transitions to new plot points are ridiculous ("We're on three of the most beautiful pyramids in the world, Sam"..."OH MY! That just gave me the epiphany that there are three stars! I KNOW WHERE THE MAGIC THING IS!"). The action is killed with awful, embarrassing one-liners said in monotonous old-man voices via the transformers, ("Ah-pull.. ovah!"). The main problem was that Mr. Bay's target audience wasn't really a single group. The idiotically immature humor could only be funny to a five-year old, but the sexuality wouldn't be allowed by most adults (John Turturro in a thong shouldn't be viewed by anybody, let alone children). And nobody could truly enjoy the plot, which is like a story trying to be told by somebody with an awful case of Tourettes. My point is, avoid this movie at all costs. The first was funny and entertaining, don't let this schlock ruin it.
