More vulgar than the first. Could have been better, but the action scenes are cool.

Phenomenally, incredibly bad. The editing is a mess, the story is weak (and once again takes things from canon only to twist them into something random), and it's full of inexplicable and unappealing elements: several Decepticons can now spit, there's robot humping, robot balls, the insulting and stupid "twins," and then there's the Matrix of Leadership, which disappears when you touch it because you don't physically need it, except for later when it reappears because you do. Unbelievable.

Everyone said there wasn't enough plot. This movie had TOO MUCH plot. All Transformers needs to be is Jackass with Robots. "Hi my name is Optimus Prime, and this is 'Kickin' Decepticons in the Nuts' HOW HARD IS THAT TO MESS UP?!

I was unaware I could hate a movie more than myself.

Two words: Michael Bay.

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.

Megan-Fox, giant robots, loads of cgi, and yet, I was staring at my clock every 5 minutes in disbelief that the movie still dragged on. If I would have to sum my Transformers 2 experience up in one word, it would be "tormenting".

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.

The humans in this film appear to be 10 times more indestructable than the robots. Perhaps that's meant to be some kind of allegorical message. I really hope so, otherwise this movie SUCKED!

Fuck Michael Bay. He sucks. T2 sucks.

I would liked to have pardoned this film's lack of plot for its non-stop action, but even the action sequences were a disaster. God knows, Shia LeBeouf dodged an explosion by jumping out of its way in slow motion because as Bay would show us, that is the foolproof solution to survive what is supposedly an inhumanly sophisticated missile. Thankfully I'm such a HUGE sucker for action sequences and CGI abuse, but even the massive budget could not save this even larger failure of a film.

Too dumb for

Basically, if you liked the first one, you'll really enjoy this one. If you complain that it's too loud, or that there are too many explosions, then you really didn't pay attention to the movie you were going to watch. They are able to jump right into the action in this outing since they don't have to worry about setting up the premise. There are a couple crude gags that I could do without, but otherwise, this movie hits all the points you can expect very nicely.

Shia LaBouef proving that he is a charismatic vacuum is just one of the COUNTLESS things wrong with this movie. Probably the most abhorrent element at play is the unrepetent and frequently joyful misogyny and racism put on display. Repugnant.

This movie has no substance. The characters are cardboard-cutout flat. The plot has more holes than a fishing net. The whole thing has the feel of a cash grubbing sequal. Having said all of that, this movie is remarkably fun to watch. I will definitely be getting this on Blu-Ray, if only to show off my home theater system to friends.

You have to be 9 or the mental equivalent in order to like this movie.

I can't believe how many things are wrong with this movie, the voice-acting, the plot, the writing... oh my God, the writing, I can't even imagine a person who would write that badly! How can such a person even exist? Transformations were completely illogical, and the robots had no shape and were always out of proportion. Way too long for the little entertainment value it brought. I only finished because I am so stubborn.

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.

Oh my God. I actually enjoy trashy popcorn movies. I enjoyed Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow - I even thought the first Transformers movie was OK. But this is an overlong mess - stupid to the point of being braindead (my nine-year old son and I had more fun talking about the stupidity of the movie than watching it), overlong, overplayed, racist and just plain boring.

Another dumb, noisy, antagonistic action-flick from Michael Bay with the huge support of US Army. Thank God there is military to destroy non-negotiable terrorist-like Decepticons! Who Needs Autobots! I think Bay thinks like, "if I shake the camera enough, and put enough fighting-robots into the story with dumb jokes, and shoot all those scenes in a rush so audience can never get anything and if I only focus on Megan's ass, who cares if I praise the army!" Did I miss sth? Was it Revenge of Bay?

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.

From my point of view, the screenplay is too weak, however the great action scenes plus outstanding visual effects help you follow the this long long movie!

any lesson that they should have learned from the first film, they forgot about in this one. The fight scenes were too close up. the dialogue was terrible. honestly, this film is not good.

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.

Ugh. Michael Bay, when will you learn that all we want from you is explosions? Not bad attempts at humor, not stoned mothers, not horribly obnoxious racial stereotypes/robots, and certainly not John Turturro's ass.

the theatre was in stitches

This incoherent mess didn't just insult my intelligence, it insulted my existence. If you paid money to see this, you are a terrible person. If you enjoyed this, you are a terrible person with no taste.

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.

An obnoxious, childish, dense, brittle void, even bigger and dumber than its predecessor and about as engaging and worthy as the long-form toy commercials upon which it is based.

Michael Bay, why can't you just die?

This movie was certainly not as good as the prequel. For starters, there was a lack of any real plot and the characters were really blah. (Megan Fox, honey, just stare at the camera and don't do anything else. It's better that way.) But it did have a looooooot of explosions. And when you're wanting something harmless and fun, it does the job.

megan fox gets a 100, optimus prime gets a 100, movie is pretty good;O

don't even have to watch all of this shitty movie to know how shitty it is. shit.

Could not finish it, one of the worst and most depressing films I've seen.

What we have here is a failure to make a decent sequel. The dialog and humor was awful and Megan Fox gives one of the worst performances ever (the chemistry between her and Shia was cringe worthy). Speaking of cringing, Skid and Mudfalp where the most embarrassing illiterate black stereotypes ever. Everything falls flat in this movie and even the actions sequences where dull and uninspired. A sequel should always outdo the original but what Michael Bay did here was underwhelm us all.

Utter nonsense for a plot. An unnecessary appearance by a female terminator. Every character except Megan Fox dies and gets resurrected. Army guys fly around and run around endlessly. Other than a few minutes of Megan Fox running in slow motion, the rest of this is just pure noise, and that word sums it up visually as well.

One great looking action scene isn't enough to save this movie. Just horrible in every imaginable way.
