  This movie should be rated R. It was full of the worst language and subject matter I have ever seen in movie that was not rated R. There was no point in most of the language or sexual references inserted throughout the entire movie... Worst movie I have ever seen.

  I also saw ROTF as well and can say that I was dissapointed in the overall film as well. Personally I loved the film, but was disappointed in that I felt the first film had a better storyline. As stated by Craig there are indeed several holes in the story line and several completely unrealistic sequences. Overall though it is an awesome spectacle to watch and worth the price to see it. My problem is this trash that Robert Wilonsky wrote as a review of this film. He was particularly mean and insensitive in his attack of the movie. Now I don't really have a problem with somebody expressing their opinion, but one should show some respect and responsibility in what they say and this Transformers movie is not so terrible to warrent Roberts hatred. I suspect that he doesn't know anything about the transformers background and simply sees it as an advertisement for the toys. One line Robert wrote was, "ROTF is rumored to have something to do with a matrix keymajiggy that unlocks the sun-killing whoziwhatsis." These comments imply that Robert see them unbeliveable ideas to loosely create a storyline, but they were ideas used in the original transformers cartoon series and were used to keep the transformers movies in continuity with the cartoon. Another statement from Robert is, "such as a sequence during which a resurrected Megatron (hoo-boy) kidnaps Sam and fills the kid's orifices with insect-like Decepticons who slither around his innards for a look-see." Well I can't argue that filling sams innards was kind of stupid, but in the original cartoon series, Megatron "dies" several times and somehow recovers from it. Here is what I saw when I went to watch the movie. I saw families (particularly fathers) bringin their children to watch the movies in packed theaters. I saw parents and children ENJOYING the film as a family, but if you listened around you; you would have heard the fathers talking excitedly throughout movies as they nostaligically remembered watching the cartoon series when they were children. Of course you have to aslo accept that transformers2 is breaking profit records and shows no sign of slowing down at this time and if it was as terrible a movie as Robert says it is, then it wouldn't make so much money.

  I'm sorry, but I am a big fan of the first movie, i loved it like most of the critics did too. But this movie just sucked, my 12 year old niece poked holes in it. Things wrong with it. warning spoilers!! There were WAYYYYY too many robots. Most of the decepticons you never saw them in their transport state!! We weren't even given any of their names or introduced to any of them and if there was a little mention of their name I can't remember any of them with the exception of Soundwave (which could have had a way better part) and the Fallen. Why would the sector 7 guy simmons be fired and now working at a meat market??? and what are the odds of Sam's roommate knowing him? just stupid they could of keeped him in the story without this whole thing. Simmons was just annoying and his lines were painful. and did we have to see his ass like the way we did? that was not even funny it was stupid. the little decepticon humping mekailas leg, i was thinking what the hell was that why does a robot need to do that? The coolest part was the good decepticon that was the SR-71 Blackbird. But they did not use him they way they should of. But why was he just sitting in the simthonian? and why did he need the shard to wake up? Then he magically transport everyone from america to egypt??? what the hell was that?? it would of been so much better had he transformed into the blackbird and flown all of them to egypt, he could of got them there in 3 hrs or less if going at mach 3 or more. And we know they can go faster than that if blackout in the first one can go from qatar to vegas in the span of an hour and also if Megatron and starscream can get to one of saturns moons and back in no time at all. The Fallen character did they pull that out of their ass? They should of never of brought him in and just gone with megatron onlybut unfortunatley his role was seriously diminished I never liked constructacons and devastartor was just stupid, and why did he have balls??? The human female decepticon!!!!???? what is this species and the terminator in one?? that was dumb. Them getting accross the border just like that without any problems...stupid. Oh ya, there is a huge metal machine inside the great pyramid and no one knows this for 3000 - 4000 years??? I loved the way the air and space museum in washington opened right into the boneyard in arizona. and i also loved where they dropped prime at the daggars tip or what ever it was called was right beside the pyramids when in actual fact the pyramids are 200 miles to the west. There was plenty of action but for the most part it was just stupid and a bad follow up to the original which was great. Let the hate responses begin

  The problem with critics is that they can't just sit and be entertained. They're always "working," so they obviously miss everything. They also live by a strict set of that an all-star movie must live up to, which many movies fail to accomplish simply because their purpose is to entertain. The thing is, the flick's numbers tell it all: the crowd loves the movie. Unfortunately, critics don't know a damn thing when it comes to telling people what to like or not to like.

  JAJAJA!!!! look at the critics eating their words!!!! They got their heads so far up their assets they can't remember what entertainment means. JAJAJA

  I'm sorry you didn't like the movie so much, but you are being unrealistically hard on it. Everything from your personal opinions about where the characters went (Sam is trying to move on and be a normal kid and he's reluctantly pulled back into the fight - it's the hero's journey, basic storytelling mastery) and even your snide comments toward Michael Bay using the same imagery in many of his films (you're bashing a filmmaker for using the US Flag in most of his films even though many of them heavily involve the US Military and he's also just proud of being an American born filmmaker) are really, really weak attempts to review this movie. You don't seem like you even watched the movie. Maybe you just have trouble picking up the story and emotion when so much big action is going on - you just can't grasp them both at once. Let's get this straight: the Decepticons want to kill the humans by destroying the sun in order to have the planet to themselves so they may search for Energon - their life source. To do that they must find the key to unlock the ancient weapon that will destroy the sun, and Sam Witwicky knows where the key is. That's not that difficult. Again, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the movie, but come on. This isn't "Public Enemies" here. It's giant toys beating each other up. If you didn't go in expecting tons of intense action sequences and overplayed dramatics then you're just blind bashing yourself for being ignorant. You don't go see Spy Kids 3D and expect "The Birds," you know. Some movies are just made to be a lot of fun.

  Stick to the fancy shirts & HDNet preview show Bob. Inner Cronenberg & Michael Bay? Avoid references like if you're going to critic what you described so well that these films are 2 hour commercials for Hasbro & GM. Appreciate Bayhem for it sets out to do and like you, the box office tally will blow the shit up real good.

  The critics are bashing this movie because they do not want it to be a success. This was one of the greatest action movies & sequel ever made. You cannot watch this movie and not be floored by it. The critics got this so wrong, much better then the first one! Its a movie about robots smashing each other dammit, who cares about a plot. If the critics paid attention to the movie, they would of seen it had a great plot going for it.

  I watched this film yesterday. Only in America would someone make such offensive trash. Megan Fox looks terrible and is treated like a sex slave. There were so many big explosions, pointless battles and so many guns that I left the cinema with a headache. The two wise-cracking autobots was not funny and racist. I suppose that the twinning of Petra and Giza appeals to the 78% of Americans who do not own a passport. This movie is an embarrassment for the USA to any non-americans who watch it.
