Transformers 2 was packed to the gills with excitement. It was loud; it was funny; it had a plotline that, while not award-worthy, worked as a good excuse to see the film. Nothing is more intense than seeing a semi truck unfold into a giant bipedal sentient being. The cast is well done, with Shia giving a spectacular college kid performance and miss Fox lending an admirable supporting role. John Turturro is worthy of appraise also. As far as movies go, this is one that just won't be the same outside of the big screen.
