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.

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

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA

    • Cybersecurity vets protest ‘dangerous’ US government ban on Anthropic’s most powerful models

      By branfont · Posted

      A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
