Well. I've seen the trailers and my thoughts have not been good. I figured there was no way Director Bay could capture lightning in a bottle again. No way this sequel could ever live up to the original. And I was right. That being said, He did a pretty good job trying. The sequel lacks the awe of discovery that the first film had...no way to avoid that. There is humor here as Sam's Parents almost steal the show.
Shia LaBeouf & Megan Fox have it all in front of them at 23. Their acting is fine for this lighthearted fare, in fact all of the acting is fine. The voice talent is quality also with Hugo Weaving lending his vocal skills as Megatron, another blockbuster for his resume (Matrix and Lord of the Rings trilogies).
As loud as the original, with a plot just as preposterous, but of course no one goes to see this movie expecting anything more. The FX are certainly off the chart. The images on the screen are amazing in their quality and quantity. I know Micheal Bay is a love him or hate him kind of director with his flash cuts and slow motion shots. I have to ask...how can a slow motion shot of Megan Fox running towards the camera ever be a bad thing?
