I have to write at least 10 lines, I hope I can,

Rating: 5/10 (20 October 2009)

Ehren Kroger & Roberto Orci wrote this very juvenile script. I imagine that young children may enjoy the continuous bombardment of computer generated special effects (mostly explosions & fighting robots).
Micheal Bay directed (that is what the credits say) his cast saying idiotic lines.
As far as I am concerned this way too long childish script did this film in. Shia Labeouf is our (now) college aged hero,Megan Fox is again our heroine. John Turturro turns up half way thru (he is mostly comic relief). & is good as always.
Our heroes parents feature in the beginning & ending. Kevin Dunn is the father he is capable BUT Julie White as the mother is an embarrassment. Again they are comic relief.
In all films of this nature our hero has a silly buddy.Ramon Rodruguies fills this role. Rainn Wilson has 2 brief bits as a College professor. None of these characters except for our leads really fit in this supposed adventure story.
The film was made in various parts of the world & the scenery is beautiful.
As I stated in my review of the original film, this may have been better if all was animated.
Many have made mention of the long running time,yes it is a very long 149 plus minutes, especially the finale which goes on & on.
My rating is mainly for the special effects.
