I seen it. It was pretty much like the first one but everything was bigger.

Some parts were really too ridiculous, like the metal balls, dog humping, and robot farting.

It was the same with Bumblebee pissing on that guy in the first one. Suggesting that robots have the same anatomy as humans for a joke is just asanine.
 
Personal thoughts:

Let's face it, the main reason we all went was to see the special effects. Heck, Devastator was so complex it caused one of the computer used to make the CGI to overheat and it's insides to melt!

I wasn't expecting a terribly complex plot, so I wasn't dissapointed that much. I admit, I could've lived without the less then mature jokes. And while there were some unessacary bits in the plot, I found it less noticable and aggravating then the first one.

There are two things that particularly bug me: the government being obstructive to the Autobots and the Pretender. I understand this was written during the Bush era, but I am getting really tired of government conspiracy plots. I can see their appeal, but sometimes they're just really stupid.

As for the Pretenders...the Decepticons get a member that can replicate humans, andthey just tell her to hang out at wild college parties? Why not, say, have one of them replace the President? It would have been a cool twist and have made me much more tolerant of the government being jerks.

Optimus final battle felt more like a footnote then anything else.

That said, I enjoyed the film. There were some genuinely funny moments, (particularly Lennox telling the government agent how to use his parachute) and the fights were excellent. Any sequence that ends with Devastator being killed by a rail gun is a good sequence.

And Jetfire rambling about his father was hilarious.

He also cried in this one. And what was that stuff that he sprayed on Alice when he was in car mode? Oil or pee?

they do make an obama reference.
 
I just bought myself a Sideswipe toy.Because I love concept cars ((and that's why I bought a Bumblebee right after I've seen the first movie...)).

I think ROTF:Sideswipe is one of the best Transformers toys I've ever seen.Though a bit hard to keep it together in car mode :)

I think they've done an amazing job with the wheel-feet of Sideswipe, creates no problem standing up, and it's chest part is made from the rear side of the car ((the others generally get their chest piece from the front side...))
 
it was pretty fun

Not going to say it was mindblowing or anything. Loved (Devistator, the Stepford Arcees, Sideswipe, Megatron 2.0) some of the designs, hated others (a lot of the background autobots).

All I know, I'd like to have my own Alice. So much hotter than Megan Fox.

I prefer SFX porn to any other kind of movie porn except for maybe humour porn.

Four stars out of five. Grocer Man's review pretty much sums it up.

I love all the stuff with Sam and his parents.

just curious, but what is humour porn? i've never heard that phrase used before.

Using it on-the-spot to refer to the humour equivlent of SFX porn or torture porn. Something that exists simply to be as funny as it can as much as possible, and the plot and characterization takes a backseat. Stuff like Family Guy, Stella, etc.

Seriously. Not only do Devastator's giant metal wrecking balls fill the screen but Simmons actually says he's under the scrotum.

There was so much stuff going on in this movie that some parts were just .... incoherent. It was hard to tell what was even going on in that scene, I just saw a giant robot monster sucking up a bunch of sand and John Turturro saying "We gotta get underneath it!"

It was after that when it's on the pyramid.
 
Saw this last night. In IMAX. I loved it even more than the first.

But what I love even more are reviewers and commentators ripping it apart as another mindless Michael Bay movie. Michael Bay didn't write the movie, people. And even though I know next to nothing about any of his work besides the 2 Transformers movies, I am thinking that almost every criticism I see of him and the banalities of his movies is nothing more than dorks trying really, really hard to be pretentious a-holes because they don't have anything else to be snobby about.

I'm also baffled as to the number of negative reviews I'm seeing that say either nothing happened or they aren't sure what happened. What was so hard to grasp about the storyline? What is so confusing?

This is not high art, folks. If it's too demeaning to admit that you might like a little mindless fun then go to your local art house and follow it up with a trip to your local coffee house and murmur to your friends about how stupid every one is compared to you.

What do you think you're going to get with Transformers? Seriously. And it wasn't even that mindless.

The ridiculous humor (robots humping legs, robot testicles) is a valid complaint. But it's hardly a dealbreaker.

As far as visuals go, this is one of the best movies ever made. Visually it was amazing. I've never seen anything like it.

Plotwise it was fun. Lots of fun.

And watching Megan Fox bouncing around the desert in IMAX is something I would recommend for any hetrosexual male with a pulse.

5/5, and I hope I get to see it several more times.

I wish to see this in IMAX so badly. :(

But excellently put on everything. I can't wait to see this again.

How is Sam Witwicky dragged back into the fight?
Well, he finds a fragment of the Allspark shard. You know, the Allspark that he spent all last movie being told he shouldn't give to Megatron, but when he gave it to Megatron, it killed Megatron. That one. Anyways, the shard makes the Beef see symbols and act like more of an spaz than usual.

So the Decepticons want the shard? Why?
Uh... to bring Megatron back to life?

What?
That's what they said.

But the Allspark killed Megatron in the first movie.
Yes.

...and now it can also bring him back to life.
It's very powerful, this Allspark.

Uh-huh. So what's their plan to get it?
They send a small R/C car who talks like Joe Pesci in Casino to get it.

Gold.
 
This movie really does fall apart with logic to it but it has charisma and looks pretty.

Wolverine and Star Trek are the same, but for some reason Wolverine I hated, probably cause I'm more familiar with Wolverine stories then the other two.

At least Star Trek and Transformers looked impressive though. They didn't even bother finishing the special effects in Wolverine because it was so bad.
 
so i have absolutely no intention of seeing this because I hated the first one so much.

Shai LeBoufe annoyed me so much my ears started bleeding. it wasn't pretty.

I think if the Witwicki family wasn't so painful to watch i would have enjoyed about the same as i enjoyed Wolverine...nothing mind-blowing but cool action and a pretty girl.

but every time Shai or his 'parents' opened their mouth i cringed.



but the mountain dew transformer was cool
