This is the first review I've posted of a movie, but thought I'd go ahead and do this one. We checked it out last night (yay for redbox's 1 dollar movies).
I'd like to point out that my biggest problem with the first movie is that, in my firm belief, a Transformers movie should be 80-90% giant robots fighting, and instead got 50% teen romance, 30% teens outwitting experts employed by the government, 15% people fighting giant robots, and about 5% of actually giant robots fighting each other.
So, initial overall:
90% -Movie was mainly about giant robots fighting. Glad you learned your lesson Mr. Bay.
+5%- Optimus Prime is awesome, from nostalgia to just kick butt coolness
+2%- Geriatric Jetfire was well done, and very amusing
However, this movie had a lot of small detractions.
-5%- Excessive amount of scrotal jokes and references...I don't want to hear or see that thank you very much
-5%- "Pseudo-gangsta" talking robots, wow, obnoxious.
-3%- Potty mouth robots. Related to the above, but not only. In a movie with a bunch of soldiers and military dudes, it's the robots that are cussing like a sailor, well and the kids mom.
-2%- Stereotypical over the top annoying parents. We got it last movie, we get it again, it's still not funny.
-3%- Cheese/"Fan service" Megan Fox shots. I don't want this junk in my movies, why the heck does it keep showing up?
-2%- Still to much teen romance, in fact, between the parents and the protagonists you wonder why they let the real actors on at all, the cgi-animated voice actors do much better job acting...
-2%- Stupid trope of "higher authority who doesn't get it taking over the job" and this one doesn't even make sense. How can the US threaten to "order the autobots off the planet?" Out of the country maybe...and all the justifications for the threat are meaningless to.
-2%- Dude in a thong...it's not funny just gross.
-1%- Dude who constantly cries like a girl. It was annoying in the first one, why do we have to have another one in the second one?
-1%- Coming up with a new villain that only Optimus can beat. Okay there was enough bad guys in the original group, couldn't you use those, why do you have to come up with something new?
-1%- Optimus almost got his butt whipped by megatron, why then does he beat down the BBG in like 10 seconds...worst fight ever.
Final grade: 70...C-
