I thought it was as good as the first one which I loved. The only things that bothered me were there was too much cussing for a movie where one obviously will bring the kids since kids love Transformers. I am not sure I liked the two jive turkey robots, it was eerily like a Jar Jar Binks experience with those two, but I did like the little remote control monster truck guy and the old, grumpy, and rusty Decepticon defector. Great action sequences, though the story was a little hard to follow since it was off the original story line, but these types of movies are for the special effects, so it was really pretty great. Also loved the previews for 2012, GI Joe, and Funny People. Definitely money well spent to check this one out.
