    The Telegraph gave it 2 1/2 stars too. The critique actually balked at a particular idea. Showing that the reviewer didn't do any research while writing the article...

    I always disregard those reviews. I much prefer reading/watching reviews from Margaret and David from At The Movies.
    I'm actually curious as to what they write about it.

    I remember one review about the first movie which actually demonstrated that the reviewer had either not paid attention to the film or just didn't get it. And let's be honest, Transformers is not a movie written at the level of sophistication that anyone over the age of 8 wouldn't "get." It's no Donnie Darko (I think I get that movie?).

    I hate to be negative, and I'm going to be honest I haven't seen the movie yet but from a non-fans perspective I bet 2 and1/2 out of 5 stars is probably right. I mean when you strip away all the robots, special effects and explosions what are we left with, crude humour that is funny the first time but will find it become annoying if its everywhere. I'll enjoy the movie for all the action and destruction and a few notable transformers.

    I couldn't agree with that more, and hell, I've actually seen the movie.

    Me too, 2-2.5 stars is bang-on.

    I'll be very interested in what David and Margaret have to say, usually if they like it I dont and vice versa. They didnt mind the first film, and this is a totally different creature from that.
