I enjoyed it. Like the first one, just bigger.

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2009)

You don't need me to give a run-down of the plot, it's just the old Marvin the Martian blowing up the Earth(because it obstructs his view of Venus...) routine. You wanna know-was this movie any good? Was it fun? Yes it was. And yes it was.
Sure the humans are 1-dimensional, Sam's family is right outta Family Guy, as well as the jokes(pot brownie/gay dogs/gremlin bots in the house), but you can live with that.
Sure the movie has some really idiotic scenes that go nowheres-the cyborg female w/the metal tongue, the college itself presented as a Penthouse Camp on roids, for example--but it IS pretty entertaining and fun despite itself.
Best parts: *Three way fight in the forest, Optimus dies.
*Whole Jetfire/Yoda character. I had fun w/ that. Nice beard.
*Big fight near the pyramids-the construction bots, the big Kat, the cycles racing around, etc. So much to see and be amused by. Very impressive CGI.
*Better characterizations of the Robots-Megatron, Wheelie, Jetfire, Starscream, etc.
*Megan Fox is just fun to look at.
What's not so good? *Hard to tell what you are seeing in the battle scenes, again.
*Too busy robot designs, you need to really look again to see what's what, for example in the Fallen's lair on Titan.
*Huey and Dewey bot twins are somewhat racial in look/sound, though I found them to be funny, honestly--as did the audience, their designs were...unfortunate, to say the least.
Frankly, if you liked the last one, you Should like this, if you like Bay's movies, you should like this one, if you don't either-stay far away. It is what it is.
*** outta ****, pretty fun.
