Very Good, but check your brain at the door

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2009)

Overall, I thought this movie was on par with the last one. There were quite a few things I enjoyed about the movie. Even though I could do without some parts, I thought that the movie was well paced. The fight scenes were spectacular. The robots' movements were fluid and there were lots of explosions. The best fight was with Optimus, Megatron, Starscream, and Grindor. It was well choreographed. I did enjoy seeing the new Transformers such as Soundwave, Arcee, and Sideswipe. I wish all three would have been in the movie more.
I could have done without the twins. I understand that they were there for the younger audiences but they annoyed me quite a bit until they fought Devastator. I love Sam's parents in the first movie but I think his mom was a bit over the top. The reasons for her actions when they were at school were a bit over the top. Also, there were some holes in the plot.
I would recommend this movie almost any moviegoer, but check your brain at the door.
