A good movie is a good movie, not need excuses. Even when I'm tired from work and go watch Enchanted or Monster & Alien or I am Legend, I feel euphoria, happy, thinking, entertain even because all is such a good movie and well directed.
Transformer 2 is just ok and I am disappointed compare the 1st one. Some action I like but I also like a story at least that don't insult my intelligence.
This movie is directed badly this time I think, perhaps due to their writers strike at one time and perhaps Michael Bay, pen it all the script himself due to "meeting his deadline"??
It seems like lack of direction & heart compare to the 1st one.
- slap in the left over CGI from 1st one, even it doesn't make sense in the overall plot. More CGI doesn't mean better.
- plot continuity is lost
- robots with Terminator like reference, really....a human transformer? I thought it was only in Terminator you have human robots.
- Captain or Admiral of the USS Carrier fleet can be call by someone unknown over the phone to fire top secret weapon in less then 2 minutes
- The world is just going about to end , and it seems the whole world population doesn't care or ignorant about it...
- Decepticon hideout is just beside Earth only, Megatron seems to get there pretty quick.
- Transformer can have babies...
- many more before too much spoiler reveal
My advice, watch this one, and leave thinking brain at home, and just enjoy some of the CGI fighting. Also don't bring kids to watch this.
At one moment you have Transformer transforming, another some backside or panty shot or some robots humping Megan Fox legs. The target age group for this movie is Teenagers in their "transformation" years....ONLY!!!! Watch with discretion parents!!! Also it contain insults to all parents would be, and your sons or daughters is ashamed of you.

Agreed agreed agreed. The jokes were also kinda lame, suits hormone raged teens (some dudes in the theatre were howling at the parts where Alice was, and also with the Megan Fox being also sexy on the bike...
). Megan Fox is a hottie for sure.
The CG for most part was fantastic, except the Egypt part. This movie is so huge, yet the flaws are noticable.
Michael Bay went all out of this one, and that's both a good and a bad thing. Eight out of ten is the best I can give. Anything more, sorry.
