If you got rid of all of the humans it would have been better...

Rating: 5/10 (14 January 2011)

Let me just start off saying that I loved the first Transformers movie. The action, acting and comedic timing were all perfect. Even the story was good. This is probably why Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen breaks my heart. The 5 stars I give this movie go ONLY towards the Autobots and Decepticons and their amazing fights and action sequences. The real problem with this movie is with the humans. Cut the humans out and you have a good action movie. What's wrong with the humans? Let me count the ways: 1.) Sam's parents (primarily his mother) are so damn annoying. I really was about to shut the movie off when they go to drop Sam off at college. 2.) Speaking of college, what college is Sam going to? "We're ALL Hot People College?" Where are all the ugly chicks wearing pajamas that were in my classes? Of course I wouldn't mind attending college that had nothing but hot people in it but this college was only one that Michael Bay could dream up. 3.) Sam is an idiot. Who wouldn't want to take their robot car to college? 4.) Megan Fox was...well, Megan Fox. I'm sorry, how did she smuggle a mini Decepticon onto a plane? 5.) Sam's college roommate....omg so annoying and not funny. Even though it was a PG-13 movie, I was BEGGING to see this guy blown away into little fleshy red bits. 6.) John Turturo wasn't funny. 7.) Not humans, but we all could have done without the twin stereotypical racial robots.
Overall, Michael Bay tried to do TOO much. He tried too hard to make it funny whereas it just came naturally in the first one. Everything in this movie fails except for the CGI.
