What a complete waste of time listening to this idiot.
I watched it for 1 minute of these garbage and turned it off.
some people just waste youtube's hard drive space.

this movie is going to kick ass !!
One thing that looked badass from the trailer, Optimus appears to have that sword in both arms and was fighting double-sworded against that Decepticon in the forest.

The first Transformers movie left a bad
taste in my mouth. Don't get me wrong,
I loved the effects (both visual and sound),
but the overly cluttered transformations and
close-up fight scenes really detracted from
the movie for me. It was hard to tell the
robots apart and, as lifelong fan of Transformers,
I really should have a bit of an advantage when
I see the robots on the screen. I *should* be
able to see a glimpse of a 'bot and think, "Soundwave!"
or "Starscream!" but they all look nothing like
their cartoon/toy characters and are virtually
(if not literally) unrecognizable. I've heard people
say, "Oh, the old transformation/character would
look stupid and blocky!" Well, who said it would be
an EXACT copy of the old specs? There must be a
middle ground where it would look real and still
keep the original look.
Now, I had made up my mind to go see part 2 with
and open mind and even cut the movie some slack
where Shia and Fox were concerned. (both are,
in my opinion, HORRIBLE actors and one dimensional
at best.) BUT...I had no idea they were bringing back
John Turturro's uber cool Agent Simmons character,
Sam's Mother or those really awesome Army guys...
or whatever they were. The humans got too much
screen time in the first film and they were walking
cartoon characters...and in a film where resembling
a cartoon is a bad thing, I have to wonder why.
Did any of you like the human characters the first
time around?
Sam Witwicky: "No, no, no, no!"
Mikaela: "What is your problem, Sam?"
Judy Witwicky: "Oh, for Pete's sakes! You are so defensive!
Were you... masturbating?"
Bobby Bolivia: "Oh don't be like that! If I had a rock I'd bust
your head ^^^^^. I tell you man, she deaf. You know."
Simmons: "Yeah. There's something a little fishy about you,
your son, your little Taco Bell dog and this whole operation
you got going on here."
Sheriff: "And no drippy-drippy. What are you rolling? Whippets?
Goof balls? A little wowie sauce with the boys?"
USAF Tech Sergeant Epps: "LEFT CHEEK! LEFT CHEEK! LEFT CHEEK!"
The President: "Yeah, could you wrangle me up some Ding-Dongs, darlin'?"
Cafe' kid 1: "Wow! This is the coolest thing I've ever seen!
Explosions everywhere! This is easily a hundred times cooler
than Armageddon... I swear to god!"
Watching the DVD extras, it's apparent that
the actors were given free reign to ad-lib and
too many of them on the set thought they were
funnier than they actually are. It's another case
where the script takes a back-seat to explosions
and effects...of which, this movie was dishing
out in small portions compared to the combined
screen time wasted on eccentric minor characters.

If I had a problem with the humans it was more to do with the fact that the military were able to take out a couple of Decepticons with basic weaponry but it's Hollywood after all so the humans have to get a "moment" and it's going to happen again in ROTF so I'll just overlook it and focus on the good stuff.
As for the robot designs I didn't like them at first but they grew on me in time and in some cases I think they're far better than any other interpretation of the character though I think Megatron's appearance sucks in both movies.
I also think that it was about time something different was tried because G1 or G1 based designs have been done to death in one media or another and it's frankly boring.
Contrary to what the hardcore fans seem to think the new movies had to be made to appeal to a wider audience that generally couldn't give a crap about G1,the comics or whatever else they insist the movies "should" be like and as proved by the box office takings the masses liked the big,dumb,action movie that Michael Bay delivered and really that's all a movie about a race of giant robots beating the crap out of each other should ever be.

I don't think you have to worry about him being in the movie.
Yes. I thought Sam was very natural, it didn't feel like a performance, he came off like a goofy teenage kid, I enjoy Josh Duhamel as the leader of the military groups. I thought Tutorro and Bernie williams gave a nice little touch of humor, even if cheesy and silly.
Transformers wasn't about going to see the greatest movie ever made, it was about going to the theater for 2 hours to be a kid again watching giant robots fight, silly humor that you just laugh at for being rediculous and a little eye candy. It's nice to have a film that so nicely provides escapism and uplift from everyday life, and given the state of the world today versus 2007 when the first came out, I think I'll enjoy those aspects even more with Transformers 2.

The first movie was amazing and I am sure the second one will be better.
I loved the begining of transformers 1 when blackout is aproching the base and with the help of steve jablonsky it was amazing !
Had chills down my spine that hole scene.
This movie will BLOCKBUSTER of the summer once again.
