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.

There is no need to get angry. :o I just posted the ratings. :p I also don't care about critics and will definitely see the movie. :D

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 Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
