Great, but flawed movie.

Rating: 8/10 (15 July 2009)

Let me first start of by saying if you enjoyed the first transformers movie, you're more than likely to enjoy the sequel. The same goes for those who are fans of the mythos.
With all that said I feel this movie has received too much criticism. If you've seen the first then your expectations should be in line for the second one.
On to the movie itself... It's bigger, louder and more obnoxious this time around. At times there's so much going on it seems like I missed a movie in between revenge and the first. It really feels like the ending to a trilogy than the middle.
The CGI is great, but Bay added TOO Much to this film. It's like quadruple the first as far as roster of actual transformers as well as the types included in this film (such as insecticons and constructicons) The biggest negative I have for this film would be some of the bad taste in humor. The twins with their gold teeth, street slang, and foul tongues really made me cringe, especially with all the kids in there. It really takes you out of the film when you hear a supposedly sophisticated alien life form saying the word p*ssy. Forthmore, the big robot that you see in the trailers sucking up the sand has testicles which are represented by 2 wrecking balls.
Completely unnecessary humor aside, the movie is a lot of fun!
