Found a more positive review:

Is it any good? The first thing you need to do before you see this movie, and you should see this movie, is disengage your brain. This is not a thinking man?s film that will provoke deep discussions, it?s a summer blockbuster of the purest form and it?s just meant to be fun. It?s not perfect but it?s the flaws are only visible because the rest of the film is SO good. The script is tighter and funnier where the first film couldn?t decide how to gauge the laugh levels and the acting of all involved is far more fitting for the film?s tone. The set pieces are on a scale I don?t think I?ve ever seen before and will blow you away with a sound mix that you?ll feel rather than just hear ? you will literally vibrate in places! My only two issues with this are the length ? at just under two and a half hours it is a bit too long, and sometimes it plays too much to the younger demographic where you feel it?s more about marketing the spin off toys than the movie itself. The plot is half decent though which is a relief as the first one didn't have much of one really. However, despite its few faults, this is this summer?s biggest ticket and ties with Star Trek for the best summer blockbuster of 2009.

Also, a friend just got from seeing it, he wanted to say this on Facebook:

the special effects are just blinding now, probably the best for its time

Just got back from seeing it. The critics are full of s_ _t.

This is a great film and great sequal. Just as good if not better than the first.

Load more robots and a lot more humour thrown in.

Great film and well worth the ?5.50.

Best film of year so far by a mile.

I'd give it an 8/10.

Transformers 2 - Now 38% at RT. :o :no:

First off you have to ask yourself. Why is it exactly we pay good money to go see a transformers movie? First off Michael bay is directing so can you really expect THAT good of story? Also I wasn't blown away with the acting from the first movie. I thought there was WAY too much humor mixed in when the movie should have been rated R (but that would have prevented the main audience which was pre teens from going to see it.) So what are we left with? Special Effects. We are left with watching robots kick the **** out of each other in such a spectacular manor that it makes you want to wet yourself. That's why we all really go see a movie like transformer. So RT gave it a 38% who cares as long as we get to see some good old fashion robot butt kicking.

Stupid Critics doesn't understand what kind of movie Transformers is, where Transformers came from, they Don't get it!!!

Argh, who cares?

Most of them like SLOW/BORING movies without ANY kind of action in it, whatsoever!

This sounds Awesome!

"A stunning opening sequence in Shanghai where the decent Autobot Optimus Prime (hurrah!) takes out a rogue Decepticon mono-cycle (boo!) packs more action into fifteen minutes than most films manage in two hours."

Where did you manage to go see this for ?5.50?? The cheapest I've found it in London is the 02 Centre on Finchley Road in London...

Speaking of which - tonight i will enjoy Megan Fox

Just for the new OST Transformers album. AWESOME!

Yeah, gotta say I really love New Divide from Linkin Park and 21 Guns from Green Day grew up on me, now I really like it.

New Divide is something I can actually jam at with my electronic drum, so it's twice as nice for a song for me :p

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      Supposedly it's fixed on Series consoles: https://support.forza.net/hc/e...e-Issues-in-Forza-Horizon-6 This game is so much better than FH5, and it's all because of the map. It's diverse, big, and so much to see and do. I've bought every single Forza Motorsport and Horizon game, and by far my least played is FH5 at 100 hours, followed by the latest Motorsport. They've finally made a good one with FH6

    • Politically funny images of the World

      Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
