I was paying attention, i was paying enough attention to see that they kept stopping the action for a romance that was never developed in the first film (and no one really cared). The real thing that brought this movie down though was the constant stooping to an immature level. Those two twin autobots were introduced who were supposed to be "hip" maybe? They just turned out to be extremely annoying and to bring down the level of the movie as a whole. I walked out of the cinema when i heard one of them say he was gonna "pop a cap in yo a55"...when i watched it on DVD i tried to put up with it but trying to remain seated for the whole thing was a real test.Only one sequel tops T2 for horrendous storyline and that's POTC: At Worlds End.
EDIT: Its good to see that T2 is also up for 7 Razzies: Worst film, Worst director, Worst supporting actress, Worst screenplay, Worst actress, Worst screen couple and Worst remake, ripoff or sequel.
I just saw the movie last weekend for the first time on Cinemax. I agree with a lot of your stuff here, as well as your first post in the thread. To me, they almost made a parody out of it---kinda like Men in Black. You had the two ghetto robots, you had the former Sector 7 guy who is now employed for a meat-shop with no government pension but he keeps a library of secret stuff under the meat cooler floor, etc. Yes, the robot girl with a metal tail coming out of her butt was a bit much and weird--plus they never introduced a transformer that could take the appearance of flesh before. Too much new stuff. Plus it was never really explained how the all-spark cube brought back Megatron 100% but the "new" energy artifact could bring Optimus back to life but barely and unable to walk. And like you said, they introduce a guy who is above Megatron, and it was silly how Megatron illogically screams and beats up Starscream even when Starscream does nothing wrong---it's not like Megatron ever does anything superior. Hell I think Starscream could take him down if he wanted too. The final fight scene barely took a few seconds and I figured it would be more epic.
But I like these kind of movies and it was almost 2.5 hrs of nonstop action so I enjoyed it 😛
