THe age restriction was 13 over here. Violence, even without blood, is not mean for "all ages". I also assume you're American? Its the only place where censoring nudity is more important than censoring violence.

Transformers 2 has hectic pacing. There's no time to think about what you see, and I realise that for some people the sensory overload is too much. You should do more LSD and expand your minds.

For all the haters, I predict that we'll have a Transformers-GI Joe megafest rolling around in 2012, as per the alternate universe comic.

Although the review in the first post drips with sarcasm, It should be recognised that Bay did not use the rapid pace to gloss over plot holes in his simple script. JJ Abrams' Star Trek, which also had a simple plot and a fast pace, was as holey as every Star trek before it.


The issues I had with Transformers 2:

- Still not enough meaningful screen time for Ratchet and Ironhide. At least this time round they made Optimus the badass he's supposed to be. And the change to Jetfire was poor.

- A Human Transformer. Really now. I already went to watch Terminator last month.

- Megan Fox. She irritated the hell out of me. I think Bay could direct a pretty good Soft Porn, with her in the lead. I expect the most common direction in her script was (Pouting, and Perking up your breasts) : ".....

- The bikes: Why was there a need for CGI extras? To fill up the already busy screen?

- The twins. I hope that Chevy has a master plan to make small cars "cool" in the US. Its too late to convert you, so they're starting with the next gen of car buyers. If this is the case, then I could live with it - otherwise they were a waste - could have beefed up Ironhide and Rachet's screen time.
