Awesome worth every pennyJan 17, 2010
By L. dunn
This movie was freaking awesome and totally delivered, to those who
knocked this movie "give me a break, giant Transforming robots, what did they expect a Kurosawa movie?, and Shakspearane actors.
Phenomenal special effects great script, "again to those who dissed the dialogue" that is how people really speak so get a clue.
Worth every penny hope there will be more to come.
And yeah I like the classics too, but now and again everyone needs mindless special effects and total mayhem.

Micheal Bay does another great jobJan 17, 2012
By Jacob Magner
This is the follow up to the great movie that came out in 2007. This continues the story, and adds a ton of more robots and action than the first movie had. It still has the amazing CG from the first film, but adds bigger and more detailed robots that were made for IMAX. This movie adds what the first one did great, and adds a ton of more it to the second film.
You have the great sound track from the movie and add some creepier Decepticon music to the film. The great main theme is still playing throughout the movie, and even the bring the rain theme is back in this film, but not as much. Explosion sound effects are even bigger than before, and the transformers have unique sounds to their weapons; which is a mix between bullet fire and electronic based weapon firing.
Graphics are just as amazing as the first movie was, but you also have gigantic transformers in this movie. Even if you have the larger than life transformers, you still feel like they fit in and don't seem like they are CGI at all. A few scenes have the entire area with CG only, and it's done so well I didn't even realize it until they tell you about them in the special features. The explosions are still just as great as the first, with even larger explosions in this movie.
The military actions are just like the first movie, and you can really tell they are coordinated professionally, with a ton of real life AC130's and Blackhawks to just name a few. It's really cool to see real life military tactics, with them doing their own thing and supporting the Autobots.
I personally don't think that the controversy surrounding the movie is true at all. You have these two brother Autobots that are accused of making fun of black people. I personally don't believe this because white people try and talk gangster out there, and you can't tell me that they could also be hillbillies instead of being black. Even in a race of super advanced robots you will have the lemons in the group, and I don't think its offensive to anyone, just humorous events.
Also this movie does have crude humor, and I really think it's funny. Some people have complained that this is a family movie and that they didn't expect to hear some of the humor when they brought their children to it. Ok, this movie is rated PG-13 and it clearly says crude humor on it, and I believe that is the parents responsibility if they think their child is ready for that or not, this is why it doesn't factor into my score.
The special features are great; I mean it's around three hours total of special features. They talk about the history of the transformers franchise, and so much more. It's pretty cool hearing about how they made the amazing robots in the film. Also on top of all the special features in the second disk, you have a full audio commentary with Michael Bay and the writers.
Overall I say you should buy this movie. This is how you should do a sequel: They took what made the first movie great, and made it even better.

 Disappointing doesn't quite express the problems with this movieJun 28, 2009
By DarthRad
The first Transformers movie was great! And the second?
Bigger, longer, louder, more robots, more action, more Megan Fox, more CGI ... so how can you end up with a worse movie than the original?
Well, it happened, as Michael Bay definitely went out of control here. What are the problems with this movie?
Characters - When John Turturro returns and actually becomes one of the more sympathetic characters in the movie, that tells you just how packed the script is with truly annoying characters. Ramon Rodriguez led the list for Character-Who-I-Most-Wanted-to-See-Gutted-By-Megatron. Isabel Lucas, the supposed Aussie hottie and rival to Megan Fox, was OMG some wierd orange shade of tan... NOT attractive, gross, really. Skids and Mudflap... WTF? Oh yeah, for sure there were strong racist overtones here in their jive-talking and monkey-ghetto appearance, but what was worse was that they were just sooooo Jar-Jar Binks acid-on-the-nerves annoying.
The list of characters in the "Needs To Be Killed by Megatron Real Soon" category is just too long for this movie to be enjoyable.
Robots, you want more giant robots? Way too many giant robots - couldn't hardly tell who was who in all the fighting, couldn't even see what all the fighting moves were... lots of robot deathblows, the CGI was great, but the images were so densely packed with detail that they blurred in the mind - way, way Too Much Information!!! Can we get subtitles for the action sequences on the DVD/Blu-Ray?
More TMI - was it me, or did the dialogue sound compressed and speeded up? Several times, it sounded like Sam and Mikaela were talking to each other at Fedex speeds - no they didn't sound like chipmunks, but it is possible to speed up the soundtrack and lower the tonal frequencies to normal. Maybe this was the only way Michael Bay could get the movie to come in at only 2-1/2 hours instead of four hours.
Plot... well, seriously, after all the critics decrying the lack of any plot in this movie, I came away thinking that this problem with the movie was way overblown compared to all of its other problems. I don't know about you, but I didn't come into this movie expecting any plot. This is after all a movie about giant robots fighting each other.
But somehow or another, in the first movie, we were made to care more about these robots, and about the humans they were fighting over. That was what made the first Transformers so enjoyable. All of that went out the window in this movie. As you sit through this very long second movie in the Transformers franchise, you begin to wish that Megatron could hurry up and gut everybody in the movie....
...Except for Megan Fox of course. Fox manages to appear even more lovely in this film than the first, the only thing improved from the first movie...
Overall, though, by piling in an excess of almost everything except sympathetic characters into this movie, Michael Bay has made this movie into an example of information overload, and it becomes just a tedious exercise for the eyes.
