The first time I was just in awe of the effects and the transformers and didn't pay as much attention to the story. However the second time I was able to take in much more of the story. The action is great the fight scenes with Optimius Prime were priceless. I would have liked to see a little more interaction between the other autobots but I realize they can only do so much. The dialog between the humans is corny and a little predictable. There are one or two short scenes that are unsuited for small children but they see more on network TV and this shouldn't stop parents. If you are expecting some deep intense story, you are going to see the wrong movie. But if you just want to be entertained then you will be happy with it.
