While I thought the plot in this movie was a little bit lacking compared to the first (and you see more autobots than human actors; doesn't get very in depth with the characters), it won't disappoint on the action side. It's pretty much non-stop excitement with no down time. The effects are spectacular and it's quite hilarious. Wouldn't recommend it for little kids, as there's a lot of swearing and some innuendo. Overall, I'd say definitely go see this one in the theater, don't wait for the DVD. It's so much better on the big screen!
