Escapists Unite!

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2009)

Let's start off with the fact that this movie is based on a toy. Granted there is the plot lines from the animated series to go by, but some things don't translate well to the big screen (i.e. Megatron transforms into a big gun...) Oscar worthy? Definitely not. All that was promised was more robots, more visual effects, more noise,...just more of the same. It had just as many plot holes as the first. The romance was unnecessary (I know Megan Fox is "in" right now but really?). The twins were outrageous and seemed to only be there as filler and it had other unnecessary characters. Overall it was exactly what was promised. Intellectually stimulating? Not even close. It's a loud, rollicking, fun, brainless good time for those of us who go to the movies without wanting to leave enlightened.
