Totally awesome movie ;D
Lots of action, fun, but so many characters that you could have made two movies out of it. If you want to have some fun, go see and enjoy.

Agreed. Very entertaining, but not enough time to properly introduce the new characters, or flesh out the plot to it's full advantage.

I'd agree with that. The whole college sub-plot didn't do anything for me.

Eh, I thought it was considerably weaker than the first one, which I liked a lot. To me, the story really wasn't all that great. I mean, I know it's more about seeing the OMG EPIC ROBOT FIGHTS...but I dunno, that wasn't enough for me this time around.
I think what was most off putting to me was the giant increase in cursing/sex/toilet jokes this time around. Now I have as foul a mouth as anyone in real life, but I guess I just wasn't expecting it. I found it off-putting and not at all charming. And those two new comic relief characters....ugh. UGH. I don't wanna pull out the racist card like other people have...but, wow. Too much idiocy, not enough funny.
/my two cents

I'll watch this one on DVD. I have mixed views on the first - when it's good, it's a blast to watch. They did a great job with the robot battle scenes, and some of the "human" scenes were fun as well (notably a lot of John Turturro's character and the military base stuff). However, the story was stretched out way too long, and all too often just kind of meandered about with Shia and Megan Fox's characters, and mixed in way too much awkward, forced comedy. Cutting forty-five minutes or so would have streamlined it into a much better movie, I think.
With that in mind, I'll be happy to rent this one, but I'm not going to pay $7-$12 to see it in the theater.
