I watched it yesterday and was hoping to be blown away. Well, i was almost blown away. I was amazed at how they made the fight scenes between the autobots and the decepticons. It was great! Not only was it amazing but they actually slowed it down so we could actually follow what was happening. Megan Fox got even hotter and thanks to slow mo she went sizzling. I also liked the fact that John Tuturo was still in the movie. He added that weird comedy vibe. In the other hand, almost everything in the movie was tweaked (story and characters) but if you didn't grow up during the 80's it was a good sci-fi robot movie.

Although it had great moments, there will always be a "what the?" moments. What the hell is up with the terminator-ish villain they sent to get Sam?! For a couple of minutes there I though I was watching a Terminator movie. Next is the two autobots who talk like they are rap stars? It's bad enough that whites and asians copy the way rap stars talk but robot aliens from outerspace? That is just bad! Next up is Sam's mom. What the heck were they thinking when they made her act like that? It was just insane! There was a scene they made her eat "magic brownies" and made her all wacky. I just didn'y know what the writers were thinking when they wrote down the character. I didn't really find it that much amusing. There was also the issue regarding the matrix. In the original story, Optimus became Prime because of the Matrix not because he was the decendant of the Primes. I'm a bit so-so about what they did with it but it looked good in the movie (plus the matrix was smaller in the movie). Lastly, I could barely tell who is which became what. I mean, none of them looked like their original forms. Bumblebee became a Camaro, Iron Hide became a Pick-up Truck at least Arcee still is a motorbike albeit an earth type motorbike. Let's not forget Devastator, he became a huge pet monster! I still liked it if he just became a giant robot like before. Although he still destoyed everything in sight, a big huge a$$ robot like before is what I would prefer.
Eye candy wise, it was full of it. The tweaking of the story blended well with the prior movie. And eventhough I could hardly tell the decepticons and what the other autbots turned into it was a good enough sci-fi alien robot flick.
