Truly Awful

Rating: 4/10 (28 June 2009)

I really hope that this movie is not the biggest hit of the season. The humor is lame, the fight scenes are a blur, and there is barely a plot. I really thought I was watching a different movie when about 6 people clapped afterwards.
This movie stooped to some of the most racist and lamest humor I have ever seen in a film. There were many new robot characters introduced, but few were given any lines. Two "twin" autobots made their "debut" and were given way too much screen time. They were barely above "step and fetch-it" cartoons. They were painful to watch with their fake gold teeth and terrible one-liners. If only their juvenile drivel was the end of the pain to the senses. The movie also includes dog humping, mom high on marijuana brownies, and robot balls.
Shia is great, he's always great to watch, but Meagan Fox is awful. She just pouts and smirks her whole way through the film. When she cries, she looks like she had to pinch herself to produce crocodile tears.
Even with a lack-luster plot and lame potty humor, the action cannot save this lump of a movie. Everything is a blur and you can't tell what's going on. Just take a random action scene from the first movie and transplant it to this new pile, and you wouldn't know the difference. The plot was pretty much explained in the 30 second trailer, so it really doesn't matter if you skip even an hour of this 2:30 hour+ monstrosity.
