Wow. Just wow. I knew it was going to be bad (Michael Bay has never been one for such silly things as "plot" or "subtlety") but this movie really went UNDER my expectations.
The film is just a mess. It takes the term "assault of the senses" to a whole new level.
It took everything I didn't like about the first movie and kicked it up to 11. Now I must admit I did like the first one, but this one is much worse.
Some have said "It's just dumb action, no need to get upset", but when was plot not required for a good movie? Just because I like butter on my popcorn doesn't mean I want to eat a whole stick by itself.
One problem I had with the film was the whole "frat-boy" sensibilities of the film. The sexual humor seems like outtakes from American Pie (If it's not good enough to be in American Pie, it's not good enough to exist, period.) Michael Bay films have always had racial stereotypes in it, so those in this movie weren't suprising, but were still pretty bad.
In conclusion, if you see this movie, you're allowing the filmmakers to further insult your intelligence with tripe like this.
It was a highlight of the Transformers Films! Great Story!
I admit, I watched this at age 10, and was shocked by the amount of cussing in it. However, seeing the first one, I somewhat expected it. There was a scene that the editors of this site left out. A girl (robotic but strange non-the-less) implied sex with Sam, the main character. The scene is about 5-6 minutes. Still, I would say any child who is a fan of the series would understand the film and main storyline.
Optimus Prime was shown at his best as a Role Model, sacrificing his life for the good of others.
In conclusion, this was a great movie, but to be on the safe side, parents should watch it first and see if their child is mature enough for the film.
Thanks for Reading!
I hate this movie. I went to see it for my birthday so it was even worse. First of all, the movie should have been for kids, not older teens and adults.There was so much swearing it was ridiculous, the violence never ended and there was much explosion, you couldn't hear a thing. And whats with the sexual female android?!?! I mean there were four year olds in there crying. This movie is exactly what kids shouldn't be watching.
i cant believe you guys say all these stuf about this movie i was seriously fine with this and i LOVE the effects and all that stuff with the girls cmon yes i agree people under 7 or 8 cant watch this but it is totally awesome
First of all, Transformers is a toy. So, obviously this movie was supposed to be for kids. Right? Wrong. This movie is NOTHING like what kids should be watching. When I went to watch it, there were small kids about the theatre. When the movie started, kids were crying, telling their parents they were scared and one family even left! I think they should've made this move more for kids than teens.
Great movie. I agree that it is for mature audiences, the rating should be 4 stars. I dread to see how these oversheletered children will live in the real world. I'm glad I'm not this reviewer's son.
This is way worse than the original transformers movie. should have been rated R, but i don't think they would be aloud to rate a transformers movie restricted though. maybe it would give the show bad messages? anyway, there is lots of language including f--k, and other combination words. the sexual content is just as bad. the dogs hump each other, and the robot thats disguised as a girl tries to have sex twice. really, really, bad. do not let your kids watch ever.
(it was still a good movie)
I have no idea why I'm wasteing my time on this movie
This is one of the worst movies ever. While the transformers look cool, everything else is horrible. Where to start... Well, the storyline is one of the most pathetic I have seen in years, uses of the word p**s or p***y, aren't helping it's case, some of the most pathetic acting of all time (nearly as bad as one of the bond girl's in "License To Kill"), it's based off hasbro toys, it has a very stereotypical mom, and the robot that turns into a incredibly desperate college girl doesn't help. In the end, you will either be thinking " That was the biggest load of crap I have ever seen" or a "Team America World Police" line left echoing in your head, "Why does Micheal Bay make movies?"
I think the previews were slightly better than the movie itself.
Well, first of all, I think that the sexual humor was over-used and totally unnecessary. The scene when the robot humps the girls leg was incredibly stupid, but apparently for most people my age, that was the funniest scene in the movie. The language was severe. Some of the first words the robots said was “punk ass” that is the first time I decided the movie was going to be awful. About the violence, I suppose since it’s transformers, sci-fi violence is going to be a given. It wasn’t a big problem for me.
Another thing, the characters in the first movie were much easier to get attached to. In the first movie when a character died, I felt kind of sad. However, in this one, if a character dies it didn’t seem to matter as much. One thing that really confused me/made me angry was bumblebee’s voice. In the first movie, it was fixed, but for some strange reason, he was back to using the radio to talk. Seriously, what happened? Couldn’t they at least explain what happened in the beginning of the movie? It’s stupid.
All in all, the movie was awful, the plot stunk, the humor was dumb and it wasn’t even close to being as good as the first movie.
Transformers 2 in a word, is a dissapointment. I went into that movie expecting some good old fashioned Sci-Fi action, some awesome slow-mo bullet dodgings, or at least a bit of plot.
My friend and I came in a few minutes late and saw Shia LeBeof (or whatever his name is) on a bed with a girl (thankfully both were clothed) and it appeared they were having clothed sex. Wow Hollywood, really? This movie is PG-13 and it has more violence then Psycho, more sexual references then I hear everyday at my school, and more swearing then anyone wanted to hear.
Take for example a scene where a main charactor is on top of a pyramid under a Megabot and the charactor states into his walkee talkee "I am Directly beneath enemy scrotem"
Or, take for instance when Shia LeBeof and Megan Fox are running and Megan Fox's breasts are bouncing all over the pace, covered just enough to not make this movie an R and slice through about half the audience who comes expecting little action figures fighting each other.
Lastly, take for example throughout the movie, whenever they can't fit in a sexual reference they either throw in a foul mouthed robot swearing his mouth off, or they think its cute to put in some totally pointless violence. Don't get me wrong some violence in movies is OK, but random explosions, destroying international monuments, and everyone bleeding all over the place?
I love to walk out of movies thinking, "Wow, I feel good that I'm me" or after an apocoliptic movie "I'm so glad I'm ALIVE!" Or at any rate, happier then I was when I entered. After Transformers 2, I felt that this world was a piece of crap and I wanted to go kick a kitten. Really Hollywood, what are you trying to teach children? Sex is fine? Violence is Awesome? Swearing is the key? WHAT KIND OF FUTURE DO YOU WANT TINSIL TOWN. I STRONGLY urge you not to see this movie with every fiber of my being. It was obviously made for one reason. And that reason is to make those fat Calafornians richer
Shape up or ship out Tinsil Town,
The Blackadder
holy cow this is just a VERY bad movie for kids. The constant swearing is bad there was hump and lots of drinking in the social gatherings. Dont watch this.
This movie is just terrible. I loved the first one, but this movie is just awful. The only reason I gave this two stars is because of the effects, which were impressive, but this wasn't enough to redeem this movie. There's too many explosions, cleavage and language, and the movie is just plain dumb. Save your money for something else.
I wrote on the first Transformers, I have to say this one worse. I'm glad that T3 Dark of the Moon is coming to theaters soon, I wasn't impressed with this one. There was much worse sexual behavior then the first, and it was TOTALLY louder. But still, I found it entertaining :]
I know I'm one of the few who liked this movie; and I think the only reason I liked it was because I was waiting so long for it to come out. But I thought it was a good movie.
Some decent special effects are easily overshadowed by and awful storyline and directing
There's no denying it: Movies based on toys are becoming more and more popular. Transformers is living, breathing proof. The 2007 hit left signs of a sequel inevitable. And in 2009, that's what happened. I'll just come out and say it to save your time. This was a horrible film. I want to point out that it's based on a toy, so you obviously think it would be a bit silly. But it's a lot silly. I'm taking three stooges silly. The plot is something like this: Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBeouf) is going off to college when he realizes that the Decepticons have returned, this time to capture the sun. Sam teams up again with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and all the rest of the big robots. If that sounded inane, well, it's because this movie is. Then you have the inspid script, awful directing, and kid-unfriendliness. Once again, this is based on a kids' toy. So why did they have to put all the sexual humor and extreme language? What about the high body count or the occasional wine-guzzling?. That just doesn't sound like kiddie stuff. And it isn't. Just please trust me. If you like the first film like I did, you will be extremely disappointed. Don't waste your time on this loud, lousy trash.
