X-post since I DID see it. I might again but it's debatable because THIS time it would be in IMAX meaning I know what to expect and would willingly pay more. :I

What I didn't like or was confusing:

1. WAY too many robots - I think I saw Rachet MAYBE twice. Not that he's a favorite but he's part of the original crew along with Ironhide. You also barely got to know the COOL new robots - those twins were funny but retarded. They're like the Jar Jar Binks of Transformers but TWICE as annoying and stupid-looking. I actually wished in the theater the Constructicons would eat them. Sadly, it didn't happen, damnit.

2. WAY too much packed into a sequel. Yeah, the action was great, but just so much going on all at once. It was kind of overwhelming.

3. WHEN exactly did Sam wrap his hand? Maybe I missed it and someone actually saw the part? Because one minute they're all la-de-da and the next I'm asking Ry, 'when did he wrap his hand?' and even HE didn't know. I hate time skips that don't explain an obvious change.

4. WHAT happened to the little RC truck bot after they went into the temple by the pyraminds? Now THAT thing was surprisingly amusing - they should have had him over Frenzy in the first one he was that entertaining.

5. The transformer Ravage's hucked-up pellets made. wtf? What they SHOULD have done was make Laserbeak.

6. The terminator they snuck into the line-up of decepticons. Please, tell me, WHEN did this turn into that kind of a movie? A hologram is one thing. The girl ACTUALLY looking REAL like she was a terminator did NOT sit well with me. That NEVER happened in the cartoon (as far as I know and if it DID it'd be news to me) and though I'm not some kind of rabid, hardcore fan I downright frowned on that addition.

What I DID like:

1. Starscream totally acting the part of Megatron's bitch. It was great.

2. While Soundwave as a mother effin' SATELLITE IN SPACE was damn cool I kind of wished he was what I THOUGHT he was going to be as some kind of humvee with a satellite on the roof. I would have REALLY liked to see him in action.

3. The action - in particular the fights. Some of that shit was brutal but I'm GLAD they made such a drastic change from the first one. I can remember people saying it was kind of upsetting to see Prime getting his ass handed to him in the end by Megatron.

4. Arcee and the other motorcycles were awesome. I REALLY wish they had more screen time.

5. Sam's mom - omg. SO funny in the beginning. She was great.

6. Prime's new toys - guns and some kind of hook to go along with his sword. Shit, he took some decepticons DOWN. He was bad ass in this one. And, of course, Bee was as cute as ever. <33

Aforementioned art projects are DONE - thinking about re-doing some pieces in my gallery now that I'm free from exchanges.
