Wow, so I went to see this yesterday without reading any reviews, and with trying to go in with no pre-conceptions. Here are my takes:
Optimus Prime was sick. When he "upgraded" or whatever that was tight.
The forrest sequence with Prime was tight.
The girls are hot as hell, but the acting was terrible.
This movie was way too long. By a mile. Should have ended after the forrest sequence almost. I understood the plot easily, and I don't understand why people thought there was no plot... however they put way too much crap in there and I think that diluted it.
The new transformers sucked for the most part. Especially the two green and red autobots... gold teeth? racial steriotypes? Brutal. The chick transformers were not necessary, and were obviously put in for girl's toys to be produced.
The parents were the most likable, the mom again was hilarious.
All in all I was really disappointed in this movie. T1 is one of my favorite movies for entertainment value without consideration to moving themes etc. T2 was terrible. I give it 1 star IMO.
