Second time I'd seen this, and honestly, besides the effects I'm not sure why I bothered. The transformers themselves, at least the way they look, is very cool and well done, there's an organic feeling to the computer effects here that is missing from a lot of big budget films. But the film drags on way too long, they needed to trim at least a half hour out of this thing. Too many scenes of Shia saying; "No, no, no, no!!!!" Too much sass talking and over-explanations from a bunch of robots. Too many characters that I didn't care for. Much of the last battle sequence could have been lost. The battle on the freeway is the high-point of the film, and there's enough cool robot fighting action to keep you interested, but tightening it up would have made it that much better.
