Decepticons all looked alike. And where was that awesome Vette? It barely made an entrance.
No amazing cgi for the robot transformations. Just instant robots.
The soundtrack didn't even move me as much as the popcorn did. Jon Voight's Secretary of Defence, in the first Transformers, was brave, savvy and smart. In this poor follow up John Benjamin Hickey was a cowardly, foolish man with the same name. It ruined a good crew.
Poor dialogue and minimal interaction. For a few golden moments, Sams parents, the original pairing for the first movie, gave us hope for another fun time. That was over quickly.
For those who like the raw battle, there's plenty of molten, twisted metal. But the movie itself had no metle.
