The movie was all about "how many robot fights can we fit in 2 and a half hours"
That's all I want from a SEQUEL to a live-action transformers movie.
When I want true transformers, I'll hit up my G1 dvds.

Hey I hear ya! The fight scenes were well done and exciting. I just made the mistake of expecting a masterpiece like the first. :P
Loved it, and I may do the unthinkable, and see it again in theaters. :D

Re: Transformer fans????
my take on the movie was that overall it was a vast improvement over the first movie. Michael Bay got a clue and zoomed out during combat so you can actually see who is fighting who. Because of this, the action was very fun to watch and there was a LOT of it to enjoy. Yeah it was campy and had some plot holes, but so did the original G1 movie. I felt it stayed pretty true to the material in how it felt and i really liked how they integrated the military into it. It made it feel like i was watching a GI Joe/Transformers crossover movie in a lot of places.
As someone who watched the original in theaters way back in 1986, i had a serious Deja Vu moment.
overall i'd rank it 3rd for movies i've seen this year.
1. Star Trek
2. Up
3. Transformers 2
4. Terminator: Salvation
Edit: got cut off somehow... anyway, it will be interesting to see who they get to do the 3rd movie, as Bay has said he won't do it.

I hate people that go to see this movie that leave complaining about story and plot holes.
This movie is made for non-stop action ... and that is it. Bay spent so much on CGI he couldn't afford good writers, great actors, and apparently had to budget cut on wardrobe for Megan Fox.

I thought it was fantastic. I think everyone forgets this was based off a children's cartoon that was created for the sole purpose of selling toys. I've seen it twice (once for free).
