What the hell is wrong with you people? Didn't you see the bit where prime fought that fucking massive gang of decepticons at once? Or the end where he added bits of jetfire to himself? This was awesome.

Year, it's disposable crap, just like the first one, but at least it's not as fucking slow as the first. It's packed with action pretty much all the way through without the rubbish "low level government employee figures out the plot but the higher up's don't believe her" bullshit. For all the comedy characters its far less cliche ridden than the first. And that railgun bit is fucking awesome.

The railgun bit, Prime's fight in the forest, and the Jetfire combination, all told come to maybe 15 minutes of screen time in what felt like an eighteen hour movie. I'm not going to dig scraps of entertaining action out of an epic mire of boring story crap, it's just not worth the effort.

But that's just the few things I scpecifically remembered, it's full of action throughout, far more so than the first.

Starting at around 6 min 05 seconds until the finish for the best explanation as to why most people HATE this film and he makes a very good point about the law of diminishing returns when it comes to vapid blockbusters.

oh wow. this is pure mince - even more mind-bogglingly pish that the first. none of it makes any sense.

lots of stuff blows up for no reason at all - including paper and stone, which the last time i checked was inert but in this it seems to possess more explosive power than colliding planets. two babbling retards who transform into what looks like those sky-blue plastic disabled cars you used to get in the late 70's, but with go faster stripes. a cockney jet plane with a walking stick. lots of little robots that talk and act like Jawas in the midst of a nine-hour coke binge, but without the foolproof plan on how to buy a load off blow of their dealer mate and 'live like fucking kings'. robot bodily fluids.

annoying humans who serve no purpose other than me wanting to seriously hurt them and go Bandit - Reynolds style. some kind of mad sex droid that has long legs and a vagina full of razor blades. Egypt. fight scenes that are put together so badly that the robots look like crumpled up bits of coloured paper getting their mechanical fuck on. 'scenes' that last four seconds. and Megan Fox looking more artificial than the fake, CGI tin toys she is running from.

remarkable.

This was one of the best films I've seen EVER - until they had to go and meet Jetfire. He was an awesome dude, and look what they made him. From then on it was drawn out and a bit dull.

I was also gutted that Optimus Prime died in a film AGAIN. I was pretty upset. Yes that is sad.

Just watched four hours of bonus material then watched the film again. Hated it at the cinema but loved it again on bluray. The only thing that jarred with me still is too much crude humour especially the leg humping robots, humping dogs and the now potty mouthed Witwicky mom.

As a technical spectacle of CGI and physical effects and camerawork and visuals it's superb.

I suppose it's not completely without value. It's a movie that answers one of the cinema audience's deepest, most ancient questions:

"How bad could it be?"

Now whenever I catch myself contemplating going into a critically-slated action-fest, I think back to that fateful night, and find myself wiser.

At the same time you'll hold up Metal Gear Solid as some amazing stuffs. So, yeah.

But he came back as a tucbo-charged psychopath with a need to rip off peoples' faces!

Yeah except it was a bit rubbish how Teleporter Prime was suddenly rubbish and didn't teleport - and Jetfire (who was just rubbish) sacrificed himself. Bah!

As I said, it was great until they met Fishmonger.

The ending of MGS2 was considerably less boring than this movie. And shorter.

Fan boy vs Fan boy; I can't believe you've got involved!

MGS2 was a more borering experience. RAIDENZ etc.

We're arguing over which kind of shit tastes worse here, I think. At least MGS2 had aspirations of grandeur as an excuse.

You mean delusions...

This wasn't quite as awful as I was expecting; in fact, it's pretty much the same as the first one, only now the action is easier to follow. However, it is like a film for ADD-sufferers. It never stops, there's never any tension or moments of calm. It's just relentless action shots and Michael Bay's swooping cameras over military vehicle pr0n shots. For two and a half hours!!

Some good action and humour mixed in, but ultimately it's so ugly and charmless, the character designs are (still) crap and the film has the WORST case of "blue and orange syndrome" that I have EVER seen. Mental.

And he's going to make another one too! Somebody make the man stop.

The story is terrible and there's a huge lack of logic throughout..

This is a pretty good summary of the huge number of things that don't make sense..
