I mostly enjoyed the first movie, and was hoping I could follow the prevalent advice for this flick and "turn my brain off" and enjoy it too. Unfortunately it was so aggressively cynical and puerile that I was unable to keep my brain in neutral. The robotic testicles (it would have been one thing if they had simply been a sight gag, but one character actually refers to it as the robot's "scrotum"), the horribly irritating autobot "twins", the humping robot...it's all just too much. Toss in that most of the transformers are mere background and props for the human characters (who are one-dimensional themselves), the bizarre plot inconsistencies, and the still (nearly) indecipherable action, and I found it difficult to enjoy. But it did have some good points:-Soundwave was fantastic. Ravage was cool.-Megatron and Starscream had some solid scenes together, really playing up the classic dynamics of their relationship.-Some of the backstory was pretty interesting.-Some of the character models were really good and were more distinct than the first movie. Overall I can't say I'd recommend it and I'm really hoping the rumours of Bay leaving the property for other movies is true. It seems inevitable that there will be another movie, so hopefully someone else can take a crack at it (and this time there won't be a writer's strike in the way).</blockquote>
