As bad as G.I. Joe. I cannot believe I sat 2 hours and 40 minutes of this film. There is so much action going on in the film I could not keep track of what was going on. The acting is not bad, but the story is just all over the place. Michael Bay is destroying my childhood.

From the start, this movie gives you plenty of action, explosions and some pretty cool robot on robot eye candy. 10/10 for visuals. M.Bay, however, seem to have focused *entirely* on visuals and very little (read nothing), on plot, dialog, story flow, or basic common sense. Leave your brain elsewhere when watching this one. Little improvement over the previous CGI wise, but thats it. All my points given are for the CGI/action sequence and nothing for actual plot.

Popcorn munching, blockbuster action, you must leave your brain at the door film at its best, and worst. I mean honestly folks what were you expecting? This movie was never meant to be anything but flashy action. Bay fixed my biggest problems with the first movie, There were more robot fights, and you could actually tell they were fighting. Sure the plot was thin, acting subpar, and some characters were simply there for stereotypical laughs...This is the type of movie Bay makes people, DUH.

I've seen more thoughtful interaction watching the various episodes of Spongebob; which is also funnier. The worst of it is, Bay tries to use every character as some sort of comic relief, which is extremely uneccesary and stupid. Though, I must admit, some of the special effects were kind of neat. P.S: This is my 666th rating, creepy.

Bay paints with an unsurprisingly limited palette in this laughably ostentatious action flick that forgets to make sense as it goes all out. The cinematic style is confused, and I was often unaware of what scenes were trying to convey beyond boom. The script inelegantly fleshes out an irrelevant plot with a series of odious expositions, as the characters, Fox's in particular, remain deplorably underused. However, the movie does have giant robots, and if you ask for nothing more then it delivers.

An alright movie that could have been a great movie with a little more work. The Transformers movies primarily suffer from the "reinventing the wheel" syndrome. With decades of source material movies like this should pretty much write themselves. Restore the main characters closer to their original characterizations (come on... Megatron kneels to NO ONE) and looks (ditch the "bug-bot" look), and place the humans firmly in the background where they belong.

I think I got motion sickness from the bouncy camera, though I guess it's easier to make CGI robots seem real when you never leave the camera on them for more than 5 seconds at a time.

I am a huge fan of the Transformers cartoon and I did have my problems with the live action adaption but I was more disappointed in the sequel. The decepticons had more dialogue (too bad they die about 10 seconds into every battle) and Soundwave was spot on. But why was there so many corny jokes and the immense kid friendly atmosphere? I have more to rant about but I think Wheelie humping Megan Fox's leg sums up my problems.

This movie has really nice special effects. But I think there are a tad too many explosions, at some point, I almost got dizzy from all the fast and abrupt movement. The plot was... well... rather boring. Acting was okay, I guess although that roommate was so awfully annoying! Other than that there were alot of corny jokes and it was too cheesy ("Optimus, take my parts blaaaah" - didn't we have like the EXACT same line in Terminator Salvation?!)..

The beginning was pretty promising, but the extra long movie looses soon it's interestingness. Too much of mumbo-jumbo and not enough good-looking action. Good roborts looked not that cool, the bad ones much better. Fox was still hot, though her part was mere to be - er - hot. Nothing more.

The first half of the movie is basically filler and you have to put up with the huge douchbag who has the lead role. But then John Turturro enters and things get better. The assault on the Egyptian town is definitely worth watching. I like that you can sort of see what's going on this time. Still, more wide angle shots of the action are needed, with fewer cuts. It's still too hard to see the actual moves being used in the fights.

How many people have actually enjoyed this movie? How many people just saw this because it was the movie to see? This is a horrible, horrible military-macho-fest, blatantly racist, sexist, and the most jingoist movie since Rambo 3, it is an unrelenting attack on your senses and good taste, every joke falls flat. Optimus Prime, who used to be an enlightened leader has transformed into an American style wrestler, spouting drivel like 'I rise, you fall' while he kills his opponents without mercy.

This is a tough movie to rate. It did some things well, the action and special effects in particular were fantastic, and some of the comedy was actually funny. Megan Fox is so hot I don't know whether or not she did a good job, I couldn't really pay attention to what she was saying. Optimus Prime embodies what I disliked about the movie, he is a big ball of cheese. So many cheesy lines, and cheesy moments. So add the good, subtract the bad, I give it a 76. Better than the first.

Summer films drop to a new low in Transformers 2. Michael Bay's action opus barely contains a plot, takes a dozen or so diversions that serve no purpose and help extend the running time to an insufferable 2.5 hours. In addition, the cinematography and character design combine to make even giant robot battles boring and confusing. Toss in some of the most racially sensitive comic relief since Jar Jar Binks and you've got a big, bloated mess.

Bigger. Dumber. Louder. More offensive. Dialogue with only a minimal amount of syllables. Makes no sense. Lacks whatever fun its predecessor offered. To put it shorter, the kind of film Michael Bay would enjoy.

Right on par with the original. Sick of hearing pretentious assholes say why it was bad. It was more of what made the first one good: humor and non-stop action. That's all I ever asked for out of Transformers. I don't need this film to change my way of looking at the world. Just keep me on the edge of my seat please. And you did. So thank you. You win. And you'll keep winning. Let em say what that want while you laugh your way into the record books.

This movie is the equivalent of your subconscious punishing you after taking that $100 bet from your drinking buddies to drink a smoothie that's made from ice, nectarines, and dogshit. Suddenly, you're barfing all over the floor realizing that you've watched an over-produced, brainless, and contrived piece of 35mm film that makes you wish Hasbro would file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy so that they'll never have to torture fans of the toys and everyone else with their existence again.

For the most part, this was a decent popcorn movie. I really got into the action scenes, but the one thing I noticed with the actions scenes, it would cover up Micheal Bay's weaknesses as a director, especially continuity, which at times reminded me that I might be watching an over budgeted Uwe Boll movie. Still for the most part, most of the characters, old and new were very likable, except for the Twins. Very annoying and were way overexposed. Hurray for Optimus tearing off faces!

This squeaked by being an OK film. Two and half hours of slow motion is too much. I think what really killed it was showcasing 2nd and 3rd tier transformers. I paid good money to see high end Transformers, God Damn it! The first hour is great and then coast from there.

Dont was this time that Transformers was really cool. The story is bad and predictable. The fight scenes are interminable, a mess of robots, almost impossible to understand what is happening. Is a film that will soon be forgotten.
