The string thin plot, juvenile humor, the completely abrupt ending with little to no resolution.
Spoiler:
Sam and Optimus' "deaths"(if you're gonna kill off a character, leave them dead)
The lack of Bumblebee. Sams mom and father. The whole "pot brownie" thing with Sam's mom was incredibly lame. Not to mention no one would EVER act like that after eating a brownie. I found the movie to be extremely boring as well. Non-stop action does not make for an exciting movie.

I could go on and on and on, but I feel plenty of other people have already pointed out the faults.

well, i feel that the ending leaves it open for another movie to be made. it's not unlike how the other movie ended. as for the faults, yeah i agree with you about most of those little idiotic moments, but i didn't let them completely bother me like they seemed to have bothered you. as for the plot, well i feel it built more on their origin, unlike the first movie.

I watched Chevrolet and LG present Shia goes to college- the robotic edition. It was absolute garbage that seemed to last forever.

The juvenile humour and abundance of pointless comic relief characters were unbearable. They should have just cut all the human characters. They added absolutely nothing, they aren't interesting and were not funny in the least in spite of their best intentions. As incomprehensible as it might have been without them, it would have made the film a thousand times more watchable. Just hours of robots fighting for no real reason.

I don't like to throw out worst movie ever labels, but I'm hard pressed to think of a worse flick. It made me feel unclean. John Turturro's package and ass in full screen close-up seemed like a pretty fitting metaphor for the entire film.

Ive recently watched

Dragon Ball Evolution - Alot of people reckon this movie was soooo bad but to me they were just to hell bent on it NOT following the auctual story from the original cartoon but to me who cares. It ws decent, made me laugh many a time and the dragon balls looked awesome.

Terminator Salvation - Wasnt the best (thats T2) but was frikken awesome anyways. Might just be cause Im a Terminator nut and just cant get enough of watching it. The seires got boring for a while but with the last season finishing in...gonna be awesome. I wont say incase people havent watched it yet.

"The Hangover".

I thought it was going to be your average half-arsed comedy that would lose steam after the first half hour, but I was proven wrong. Kept me laughing all the way though the movie, which was awesome.

Two Lovers with Joaquin Phoenix, Gwyneth Paltrow, and the great Elias Koteas. Not bad...I guess.

Everybody Dies....kinda boring, ironically.

so let me ask you. did you ever watch any of the cartoon? is it true to the story or just a completely different thing entirely, canon perhaps?

Yes I watched about half the series. Most of the story follows the toon but unless you know the cartoon you wouldnt notice the small things that were changed. 1 thing I found funny was that the Oozaru is ment to be a huge monkey but in the movie he grows about 2 inches. On top of it the legend on the toon states that a saiyan must have a tail, look at the moon and then has the ability to transform.

It just doesnt bother me that it wasnt exact like the toon.

Away We Go

I laughed, I cried, I loved it. I laughed harder than I did during The Hangover. Easily one of my top 3 favs this year.

Transformers 2
The plot was kinda' thin, but good enough, like the first was. But, there were only 1.5 things that really bugged me about the movie. The half was that too much of the movie was focused on
Spoiler:
the resurrection of Optimus Prime.
The other was the number of ankle-biters in the theater. If their irresponsible parents saw the first movie, they should have known to expect it wasn't fully appropriate for kids. But, these people didn't even flinch when something inappropriate came on-screen or when the kids kept asking "what's that mean?" or "why's everybody laughing [at the dogs]?". That ticked me off. Otherwise, it was worth it. The formula remained the same, and it looked like just a million dollar joke to me that I wouldn't have minded waiting for DVD to see. But, it kept me entertained, and that's what's important.
