Plot:
In this sequel to the 2007 box office hit 'Transformers', Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) along with his girlfriend Mikaela (Fox) is again requested by Optimus Prime to help the Autobots in their fight to protect Earth against the evil forces of the Decepticons. When Megatron (who was destroyed in the first movie) is resurrected by The Fallen, the oldest ruler of the Decpticons who has been around since man's early existence trying to gain control of a device that will use the Sun's energy to destroy the Earth only to have his plans foiled by the Autobots. The device has since been hidden and The Fallen needs Megatron to go after Sam who has been having strange visions which are signs that will them lead to the device.
Reel Talk:
In this follow up film, the entire primary cast members from the first movie, are in this one. This is not necessarily a bad thing but someone got the idea to increase the dialog of some characters that just really wasn't needed. Like in the case of Sam's witless mother and father, a lot of the scenes could have been left out. The re-cast of John Turturro (who I feel is a good actor) as the terminated Agent Simmons was just not a good look at all. If you get off on explosions, more robots that have scrap metal brawls, a lot of running and screaming then you may enjoy this movie. It just gets boring at some point and it doesn't help that they extended the time of this movie 30 more minutes. The first movie was a blockbuster, and this one will be a box office smash also, but just because of the hype that comes from the success of the original. I was curious to see how director Michael Bay would fair with this sequel and must admit that I was disappointed. I felt like the story was weak, the acting was crappy and that they stepped up on the offensive language that the children in the audience should not have been subjected to.
