Hmm nice interview. I'm not a big fan of transformers and was thinking about maybe perhaps seeing it, but if it is so dissappointing, I wont give it a chance.
One question - is it actually a horror film or did you post in the wrong section?

I moved it.
I read that the stereotypes are very evident in this movie, with the twin jive talking robots being as bad as Jar Jar Binks.
The foul mouthed wannabe mob boss robot was apparently very obvious too.

I have never seen Jar Jar Binks as being bad and neither have I seen the twins being bad. They had their moments along with Jetfire (who was great) and Wheelie. The effects were top notch but I felt that The Fallen character had a major lack of screentime, I mean it has his name in the sub title yet he gets 5 minutes of screen time? I would not say it is disappointing since G1 fans and G2 fans will love specific moments of the film. I give it a 8/10 stars and the third best film of the year behind Star Trek and Watchmen.

Well your reviews defintely give me something to think about, I was planning on seeing it early on Friday maybe but I may wait a little longer until more people have seen it. It sounds like it didn't live up to the expectations and I don't want to be disappointed by another movie.

They didn't really change anything. They used the comic book series based on The Fallen for the source which they pretty much got dead on. If anything killed the movie for me, it was the scenes where Sam is along a college.

Terrible movie.
I loved TF1 so this one sucking was a shock.
Jetfire and Devastator were embarrassing. The Twins were ghetto stereotypes that just weren't cool. Jar Jar Binks X2 is all I saw. Not enough robots fighting and transforming. Too many people scenes and lame jokes. The plot was retarded but thats to be expected. ;D
Star Trek is the movie of the summer it seems.

Well it looks like I better wait to see this one. I never knew of a comic series either, interesting.

I really enjoyed the 1st half of the movie. My fav scenes were the college scenes and anything with Megan in it. The movie went on too long. About an hour into it I was waiting for an end that never seemed to come.
Great CGI as always though. Really good comedy writing, it was a very funny movie. The mom had most of the good stuff. It was def a solid movie. I just don't think it's better than part 1. It's pretty much even.
The girls in the college ALL looked like super models.. it must have been HEAVEN on the set of that movie man.... some guys went home with playmate caliber chicks..

I'd give this a 3/5.
The film seemed to just squeeze sex appeal out of Megan Fox and flashy special effects. The plot was crippled, but most seem to enjoy it for the amazing experience it gave them.
I'm not a hardcore Transformers fan, but I know the basics. This isn't the Transformers those in the 80s grew up with, this is the updated, rebooted version that began in the early 2000s. I knew that the moment Megatron was turned from a gun to a bomber.
The comedy was all right, but it felt out of place. Still it was a nice break and, like Demon, I was waiting for an end that didn't want to come. When it did, I was rather confused on whether to be feeling exhausted or ripped off.

Yeah, there is no shortage of hot chicks in this movie. The ugliest chick was the Mom and even she wasn't that bad, just old and annoying. ;D

Sam's mother reminded me of my own mom . I am seeing it in IMAX Thursday since this is shot in IMAX cameras like TDK was.

I loved this movie, I've already seen it twice and its not too long of a movie for me, I can't understand how people can call a 2 and a half hour movie long, I call it getting my moneys worth, it beats the hell out of spending 9 bucks to go see a 80 min Friday remake thats decent
it had tons of action and the comedy part of it I dont have any huge grips about, expect for maybe the mom scenes
I think its just as good as the 1st 4/5 stars

Personally, I don't think it was as bad as a lot of folks let on so I'm glad I watched it. I'm definitely not a hardcore fan though so I guess I could understand how some people would be disappointed by it.

What do you guys think of Mark Wahlberg being in the next Transformers movie? I think it might come out in 2014.

He is a very good actor, but I think that he will be wasted in yet another mediocre fight fest.
