Well I haven't seen the actual movie but I've read the novelization and all I gotta say is "meh". Not better and not worse then the first. Same old bayformers.

Okay first review. I would advise anyone wanting the film to be a surprise NOT to read my review. I will however say for those...IT WAS IMMENSE.
Okay so to open with we get some nice history, TF on Earth with Primitive man and a quality opening with Demolisher. Sideways is in this opening but lasts all of 10 seconds. Demolisher does a bit better but Prime is launched from a carrier in the air and Transforms mid way which was stunning and a great opening for him. As soon as Prime enters the fray Demolisher don't last long. The reason I have described the opening is because this is true throughout the film. Prime is a bad ass...no sorry THE bad ass. Every one of his fights is a walk in the park, forget the pussy Prime on TF 1, this is how Prime should be. The action in this film (especially the forest fight) is top notch but very draining. I was actually very thankful for the comedy, it may offend some people but I was fine with it. The opening hour paces a long and then as soon as Jet Fire turns up things slow down quite a lot as he delves into exposition. However savour this brief interlude, you will need it. The humans don't feel as intrusive as they did in 1 and the Twins/Wheelie are not Jar Jar bad...no where near. Megatrons return is somewhat rushed, you dont see him get built, just infused with the All Spark shard and then he goes off to Mars (I think it is Mars) when Starscream and the Fallen are chilling. The Decepticons really feel like a race in this film, they feel alive. Soundwave is welcome and perfectly done...just hope he is used in the third alot. Ravage was also great and YES he and BB do fight. The last fight is immense and very loud, it takes perhaps too long to actually start but when it does it races along. That is a bit off a problem it ends very suddenly. There is a Prime outro but I guess because it isn't as long as number 1 it feels like a rushed ending. There are a few shots ripped from TF1 but not to point of hurting the film and the Starscream/Megs rivalry is nicely played. All in all this film was bigger and better than the first with each faction feeling like a civilisation. If you loved the first you will love this, but it will not change the minds of those who hated the first. A great action comedy. 9/10

Didn't like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. First was way better. Reason?
Cons: 1. Absolutely ZERO character development for the Autobots. Bumblebee was there, but still felt somewhat empty. Optimus was the only one with a presence. 2. All the attention was on Skip and Mudflap. It's like Jar Jar in Star Wars! ARGH! These twin racist representations of ghetto people was only smirk worthy some of the time. Most of the time all we see is them! I want Ironhide! Ratchet! Arcee! Bumblebee! Sideswipe! These guys were only seen fighting, being transported, and with one liners in the fights. THAT'S IT =( 3. All style, no substance. As expected, but more so than I thought. Pros: 1. Optimus Prime kicks tons of ass. This makes up for his lacking in the first. 2. Megatron and Starscream are just like they are in the original cartoons, great addition. 3. The CGI was AMAZING. Hot damn I've never seen so much special effects. It's like the end of the first movie times ten. Great job in this department. Loved the first, so-so for this. I'd say 6/10-6.5/10 I'll give it a rewatch, maybe my verdict will be different like it was for Sin City when I rewatched that.

Kind of really sucks to hear that a lot of the attention is on the twins.
Just curious, how are they racist anyways? |

Well, I wouldn't say they're racist per se, but they do get on the nerves with their ghetto stereotyping. Even Bay hated these twins, so why is it that all of the screen time went to them? You got me. Optimus definitely got his spotlight, but that's about it for the Autobot side.

I've got some questions for those that saw the film
Does Peter Cullen have a cameo in this film ? How's Megatron screentime this time around ? Is The Fallen a worthy enemy to Prime & the Autobots ? Do you get a hint of Primus & Unicron to be featured in movie 3 ?

Megatron gets a good screentime, this felt like a Decepticon film. Fallen seemed more vicious in his past the present. No. Pros -This is a Decepticon film. -Megatron, Starscream and Fallen on Cybertron was awesome. -Action was outstanding. -I got teary in some scenes -Devastator was cool -Adding the matrix was awesome -Ravage was great. -Sam's parents are hilarious. -Loved Wheelie and Jetfire -Special effects are perfect. -So many great Transformations. -MORE focus on the bots then humans. Cons -adult humor was a bit much, I can believe the F word was used. -No character development on the new autobots. -Ending was kinda lackluster in terms of where some characters went. -Soundwave didn't have his famous voice. -The film drags a little in the 3/4 -Devastator confused me. Longhaul was attached to Devastator and was fighting in a different battle at the dame time? Overall I loved it. Kinda lacked in some areas, but makes up for in the weaknesses of the first. 8/10

Glad you liked it Lunar.
I can't wait to see it, I know what to expect since it's a Bay film so I don't think I'll be disappointed. So is a lot of the humour that bad? I want to know so I can tell my parents if they'll like it or not. They really enjoyed the first film but really did not like the masturbation joke. To be honest and I'm not really sensitive or conservative, I even found it a bit out of place and felt it was in bad taste. |

2. Jolt is in the background once or twice and Arcee is barely in it. 4. Space bridge is mentioned and there is one scene where we see decepticon protoforms in energon which is blue. I'm seeing it again in 2 hours. There is so much going on at times, it was hard to catch everything at first in scenes.

Wow, lol a lot of parents are going to be pissed with some of that raunchy humour. Bay's past films(minus masterbating joke in TF1) were never that bad when it came to humour from what I can remember.

If i am not mistaken, even Wheelie drops an F bomb during that clip with Megan Fox. He says: "this place is a ****ing house of horrors".
At least i think so. |

Just watched the movie. And I must say, most of my thoughts have already been posted. It does seem rushed and yet some parts just dragged. In other words, pacing could have been tighter. Also, some parts that struck a nerve:

I read the movie adaptation from IDW and, even if it's without all the stupid jokes and useless scenes, I've find it a complete garbage.
Dreamwave's Generation One is a godmade work in comparison! |

Question:
What is the screentime of Prime's faceplate? It gets knocked off but does he get it back? Also, does Soundwave talk and does he still have that monotone robot voice?
