Supporting Actor
Well this opened today here in the UK and most of Europe.
Saw it earlier. Not as good as TF1 as the story aspects were even more minimal and they replaced exposition with a lot more action.
But the action & CGI were a lot more than TF1 and the actors were all ok. Some of the humour was pretty funny especially with Sam's parents. This is a wall to wall sci-fi action popcorn flick. Do not take it seriously but just engage brain in neutral and enjoy for 2.5 hours. Michael Bay sure can make these type of movies look very slick & here he goes into overdrive with some stunning setpieces. 3 VFX shots in particular are eye popping when you see them you will know which ones I am talking about. The robots dominate a lot of screentime and ILM did a seamless job not 1 VFX shot looked ropey at all.
When this baby hits BD it can potentially destroy equipment!!!! as the LFE is so deep & low the speakers in the cinema were struggling to cope and you could really feel the deep bass & hear the speakers reaching their limits with it!!!
TF1 is a better overall movie as parts of 2 feel a little tired like they are running out of juice but in the 2nd part of the movie some of the real world locations look stunning and some you will remember from other popular movies but TF2 shows some new aspects to them.
If your not a Bay fan then this movie will do nothing to change your mind but if you like or love Bay's work then this will give you another massive fix until TF3 in 2012!!!
