Not nearly as Prime as expected

Rating: 3/10 (24 June 2009)

I didn't enjoy this movie too much. The very first scene got my attention and really made me think that even the second part could be something. Then my luck turned. Dull acting, Fox's 24-hour perfect make-up, a College full of barely dressed girls and last but not least, a plot that never comes close to the first one's.
Let's face it. This movie had no heart. How can you be really moved when everyone who Shia's character cares about stays alive in battle that defines the future of the universe? I mean, they were in the middle of the action the whole 150 minutes. And then Optimus Prime: He "died" in a way that doesn't feel like the ultimate good guy would die. And then he comes alive again and beats up the ultimate bad guy and all the others in 5 MINUTES. Give me a break.
3/10 for the special effects.
