Just got back from a day out on the town, and from watching Transformers 2 in IMAX. Right now, I think I liked the first one better. It seemed better paced. And I agree, the 2nd one seemed rushed for as long as it was. Perhaps a second viewing will put things in a better light.

I liked the movie, and have little complaints.

Right now, I think I liked the first one better. It seemed better paced. And I agree, the 2nd one seemed rushed for as long as it was. Perhaps a second viewing will put things in a better light. Now, I was actually shocked that Optimus Prime Spoiler: gets killed so early in the film. I had suspicions that he was going to die in this one and come back for the third, but had no idea that it would be his death and the race to the matrix to revive him, before the Decepticons got a hold of it to completely destroy the Earth, that would be the core plot. It actually made everyone's stake in the game on a more personal level. I'm just glad I didn't spoil the movie for myself by reading about it from other viewers. I also got a kick out of Bumblebee's dismay with Sam when Spoiler: he was showing signs cheating on Mikaela. And I don't remember his name,but the fowl mouthed little robot that ended up liking Mikaela in the end, was hilarious! I sure hope he comes back for the next one!

But, in the end, I'm glad to see that none of the Spoiler: major characters died, unlike the cartoon Transformers movie. This is where I think the new films get it right for sure!
