This is a typical Michael Bay film- lots of chases, fight scenes, explosions and some sexy females- but it still very enjoyable. I can't quite decide whether it is better than the first as this is equally brilliant but it definitely funnier. No-one could believe me when I said Transformers was hilarious, but it really was. Everyone cracks out jokes- listen out for the new Autobots and especially Sam's mum who is just so funny in this movie.
This sequel is set two years after the first and sees Sam leaving Mikaela to head off to college. However, after he touches a sliver left over from the Cube, he begins to see symbols and go slightly crazy as the energy and knoweldge from it is absorbed into him. The Deceptions are onto Sam because they want this power for themselves so they can take over the world. Which of course, Sam, Mikaela, the Autobots and a few additional characters have to stop.
It's a major race against time and you are really behind them despite knowing how it will end because it is so predictable. The effects are amazing as expected but sometimes it all happens so fast, it just becomes a blur and I get confused as to what has just happened. Other than that, my only other complaint is that Megan Fox is clearly only being used for her looks. Granted, she is attractive, but is necessary to have her straddling a motorbike in the shortest skirt ever just to ring Sam?! I don't think so. Even the guy I went with said it was slightly pointless!
Overall, this is an awesome film which manages to make you laugh, feel sad and get excited by the action. The effects are spectacular, it's hilarious and just an all-round feel-good film. If you liked the first, then you definitely need to see this. 8/10
