I’m sure everybody has seen it, and right off the bat I’m gonna say it was average. These following words will sum up the whole movie: Big explosions, Panning shots of large areas and slow motion. The plot was nothing short of a failure in my opinion. Even after watching the first movie days prior I had no idea what was happening when the movie began. The prior movie didn’t even give a lead on to a sequel yet explain further plot elements.

Through out the whole movie I was trying to figure not what would happen next (that is pretty obvious) but who was fighting who. When the machines tackle each other it becomes nothing short of a mess. I also never knew Autobots could fuse together and Decepticon could turn good; I’m sure they could have come up with another, more interesting way to figure out what the symbols meant.

The movie takes a stab at some humour but I hardly laughed because of the jokes, instead laughing at the stupidity of the film. Michael Bay’s films are nothing more than what was described before; explosions, slow mo and huge panning shots. Transformers has been transformed into something else than what I and every one else thought it was.

Here a few things I couldn’t understand:

• Why is there so much damage to cities yet people seem to fall for a cover up
• With today’s technology if a robot walked down the street it would be all over the web in 10 minutes
• How come the old Decepticon/Autobot could travel to Egypt instantly yet everyone else just drives or flies
• Since when could Decepticons be humans and how come there is only one?

Those are just a few of my questions. It may just be that I haven’t read enough comics – I will admit I’m not a total  Transformers fan but I will see the film nevertheless. In my opinion I give it a 6/10. Hardly worth any praise. The story was probably picked from a school writing contest.

The best parts to the film were of Reggie Simmons, some of the things he said as well as the actions had me laughing despite the illogical nonsense going on. He was the former CIA agent of Sector 7.
