The battle for Earth has ended but the battle for the universe has just begun. After returning to Cybertron, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons, and has decided to return to Earth with force. The Autobots believing that peace was possible finds out that Megatron’s dead body has been stolen from the US Military by Skorpinox and revives him using his own spark. Now Megatron is back seeking revenge and with Starscream and more Decepticon reinforcements on the way, the Autobots with reinforcements of their own, may have more to deal with then meets the eye.

Let me just start out by saying that I loved the first Transformers. I thought it was smart, witty, hilarious and the special effects were amazing.  Sure, whenever the robots opened their mouth -you had to laugh, but still, I really enjoyed it!

But I didn’t enjoy the sequel as much. I thought it was funny only a few times, and in almost 3 hours - you need comedy to keep it going.  The robots were bigger - and “scarier” in this movie, and there were lots more of them.  Maybe that’s what killed it for me - just too much of everything!  The special effects really were amazing. More than once I caught my mouth open, just thinking “how in the world did they do that!”  But unfortunately, all this movie really has to offer, is special effects.

Shia Labeouf is awesome. I’m not going to say anything mean about him.  I love me some “Shala Laboof” as my kids call him. Megan Fox on the other hand, I don’t mind being mean to her! While she’s beautiful, no denying that, she can’t act to save her life.  Her lines are painfully delivered - and I almost felt bad for her. She has to be one of the worst actresses out there. At least she looks pretty!

Bottom line? I thought it was entertaining, but it was just too much.  Too loud, too many robots, too long, too many stupid one liner’s.   I’m sure it will make a ton of money, and there are plenty of people who are going to love it. But I’m just not one of them. I thought it was for the most part, pretty stupid.

But that’s just me!
