I grew up watching the Transformers and was very excited to see the first movie. The second movie was a great sequel. I think they tried a little too hard to beat the first movie. They spent a lot of time on character development of the new characters, but sacraficed on the development of the story plot. This show dragged out a bit in some places, but overall this was a fantastic sequel and well worth the time and money to see it. I saw it this past weekend at the IMAX and advise this is the place to watch such a movie.
