I'm not expecting much since its getting horrible reviews... sad too I was hoping it would be alot more after the last movie.
Most of all, none of us needs to sit through 2½ hours of this inane and mind-numbing movie. Better it should be melted down for scrap.

The first movie got a average rating of 61 on metacritic. When it comes to an action movie I wonder why I still bother with reading the reviews. I am not looking for anything to stir my conscience I want to see explosions and Optimus Prime kick some ass.

I agree here.... the A10/gunship scene in the first one was my fav part.

Oh yeah. I need to see it in an IMax theater next time. It sounded great in the local theater here. It would be even better in an IMax.

Worst film I've seen all year. It was made for young teenage boys just hitting puberty. Lots of cheap movie devices used by the director (great, not another "it's not what it looks like scene"). The "humour" was lacking in wit and comedy. This was a seriously poor attempt at making a movie. I didn't have high hopes anyway, but I feel even more stupid for agreeing to see it. As if the plot, story, directing and acting wasn't enough to make me want to "end it all"... the first half of the movie felt like a 10-hour ordeal; it was immensely slow.
I regret paying to see this trash.

awesome flick... saw a few errors that they missed during the editing process too. I'd say it got a few ticks up from the first one and the story line fit into place well from the 1st.
