Do not get me wrong here, I loved the action sequences in Michael Bay's follow up to his surprise hit of 2007. However, this film lacked the soul of the first one...let me explain.
The first movie had in it very realistic and funny dialogue moments ("Sam's happy time") which are missing from the new one. The characters also came across two dimensional, owing to the missing dialogue and a lack of a journey for them to take. And Isobel Lucas... an absolutely pointless character, i don't even know why she was in it (Megan Fox was enough eye candy :P) It seemed that this movie lacked that extra bit to make it as good as/ better than the first one.
The effects however were unbelievable, and props to the effects houses (who were robbed by the slaughtering of the golden compass for the effects Oscar in 2007). TRIVIA: for the 5 imax scenes it took 5 days of rendering for 1 frame!!!.
Other than the effects this movie kind of blows (the Proposal was better!) but i think it is due to: A; Script problems and story Problems and B; Michael Bay letting the success of Transformers 1 get to his head.
5/10 - it still kept me reasonably entertained.
