I personally thought it was awesome. It was even better than the first one in a lot of ways since there were more noises (I love the noise they make when they transform and stuff) and explosions, and I love Bumblebee! I almost cried when Optimus died too. My dad thought there was too much military action in it though. But I think it was great! And they definitely left it open for a third one. The only thing I don't like is the final battle--it seemed too short and effortless.
