I don't think it's his worst, but while I thought the first TF movie was Bay at his best...this is sliding back down to the bottom of his bad movie barrel. The most frustrating thing is, it's not the whole damn movie...just all the crummy parts that drag it down. Nevertheless, as an avid Transformers fan, it was mediocre at best. Can't wait until the DVD...'cause I'm gonna make a fan edited version! For real!

I'm skipping this one. All the negative reviews were telling, but this seals the deal. Too bad. Let ‘em have it Coop!! I’m skipping this one.

Bay not only needed a co-director on this one, but was in dire need of an EDITOR! The American Pie style juvenile humor coupled with the dreadful Pearl Harbor-esque love scenes caused so many tangents that I had to constantly keep reminding myself where we were supposed to be going as viewers. And where exactly was that? Well, they finally tell you where all this is leading in what seemed like over half way through the movie. Back up though...where the hell was this Fallen guy hanging out during the entire first movie?! Megatron's rise from death was relatively anticlimactic, Devastator was a waste, and I almost missed the final battle between Prime, the Fallen & Megatron when I blinked! And to top it off, not only were these new starlets, the Twins, offensive...but they the worst characters to ever be introduced into the Transformers universe! There was much more to complain about (the dog humping, Megan's lips, Turturro's jockstrap, Dev's balls, etc.), but I'll end by saying this... I believe this movie might've had a chance at being a fairly decent, watchable movie if Bay would have left the clutter where it belonged...in the trash! Completely fair, dude!
