Too boring, too off-mark and too drawn out

Rating: 4/10 (24 June 2009)

I honestly thought this movie could have pulled things off in an hour and a half, maybe even an hour and ten minutes. There were too many unfunny comic reliefs, the sidekicks were off- mark and the entire movie is TOO long.
I thoroughly enjoy watching Optimus Prime and the Autobots kick ass. I thoroughly enjoy Decepticons and their numerous gizmos. But serious, some Autobots and Decepticons didn't even get names, and if it wasn't for their size difference I wouldn't have been able to tell whether the Decepticons were Transformers or Terminators. There's THAT MUCH character to the individual Transformer. Even Prime seemed uncertain and wavering in this sequel.
And the comic reliefs. They may have been hilarious for soft porn lovers, but they simply didn't cut it for a movie directed at young adults trying to catch a ride back into good old Transformers and young children who would have been looking for TRANSFORMING ROBOTS.
Plus Bay never fails to put in as much kickass American MILITARY PRIDE in his movies. I'm not even going to comment on this; it's the guy's right as a director to do what he will to his movies, but I honestly don't think it'll sit well with many of the audience.
Oh, did I mention that the movie is too long? I went into the movie theatre expecting nothing from the story-line (I mean, I was there to watch robots blow things up and get blown up) but the glaring plot-holes carried on and on and on and on....hanging out like some serpentine tongue. Yeah. That's right, serpentine tongue. I dare you to watch the movie and find out.
