Good film that is getting harsher reviews than it deserves

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2009)

*****Contain Spoilers******* Look....I'm not going to get on here and scream, that ROTF was the best movie made just because of the special effects, but after watching the first one again, I definitely have to say the first one beats the second one hands down. I'm not as picky as many posters who hate it so much they give it a 1 or 2 star or something. But it definitely felt like it dragged on more than it was supposed to.
My biggest gripe was the limiting of the lines of the veteran autobots. Ironhide said a couple of lines and I believe Rachet said one line. We also didn't see much of the new Autobots especially Sideswipe which I like. I like his look and wish he had more to do with the plot.
But overall I don't think the story is as bad as people say it is. If you love action movies and like the first movie, you won't fall in love with this one but you should like like it if you're a transformers fan. I don't think I wasted my money.
The one really good thing that this movie had that was better than the first one is...Optimus kicks ass at the end....and in the middle. He wasn't made to look that strong in the first one. Now you see that he's definitely the leader of the autobots.
