Ok I seldom write reviews on movies but let me try to write one for TF2 since there’s certainly a large mix of reviews on the movies. I’m guessing as you may have heard from friends that some enjoy the movie a lot while some are disappointed. Let me start with the disappointments, from a start audiences were not able to recognize who is who in the movie, especially during the fighting scenes, there just wasn’t clear introduction to the new characters in the movie. I’m guessing that’s the way Michael Bay wanted it to be to make fans head for the cinemas for a 2nd time…to gain more $$$. Surely enough the second time you watch the show you will be more attentive in catching the characters in the movie. Well the other lowdown to the movie is the lack of storyline which I feel is the best Michael Bay can do as the movie focuses more on action scenes and CG which i think fans will be looking out for. My guess is fans couldn’t care less about a lame story line as long as the robots are cool and the action scenes are great which Michael does a great job thanks to the CG guys.
TF2 scores big time with the huge and action packed scenes especially when Prime is fighting the Decepticons all alone to rescue Sam….Opps spoilers. One thing I noticed is the robots drool when they get their face smacked by the Autobots or vice versa and one of the twin robots losing their golden tooth Opps another spoiler. The detailing is just fantastic you will surely miss out on much of the details the first time you catch the movie, it will take several times of watching the show before you notice all the details. There is never a dull moment in the show with all the witty jokes and funny scripts to make the show interesting and funny, at times it's more than a comedy than an action packed movie but it certainly makes the show livelier. Length of the show is about right at 2 hours and 30mins, surely the movie is much longer before editing but in my opinions it’s about right. Focus this time in TF2 focuses more on the individual characters which was one of the feedbacks by many fans which is a good thing. One example is Starscream and Megatron having more dialogue in the show compared to the previous Transformer movie but lesser conversations among the first batch of autobots (not Optimus and Bumblebee) which appeared in the first movie which I noticed.
Overall the movie is great in terms of action and CG effects in my books. Even Sharon who is not a TF fan started to like the all loyal Bumblebee.

I been watching Transformers cartoon series since 1985 and the writer and director totally messed up with the movie. They should watched Transformers cartoon from every series since 1985 to get the true concept of Transformers
