    Storyline

    • Trivia
      John Turturro was allowed to climb the pyramids during filming in Egypt. At one point, he simply broke down crying. When Michael Bay questioned him, he said, "You just don't get to do this in movies. You don't get to shoot in a place that's 4,000 years old."
    • Goofs
      At around 54 mins: When Sam and Mikaela (Megan Fox) are running from the Decepticon, Sam shouts "Go, Megan, go" as they jump into the car.
    • Quotes

      Optimus Prime: You picked the wrong planet! Give me your FACE!

      [tears off the Fallen's face and sticks him with his staff]

      Optimus Prime: I rise... you FALL!

      Megatron: NOOO! NOOO!

    • Crazy credits
      The DreamWorks and Paramount logos are accompanied by a series of robotic sounds.
    • Alternate versions
      The mainland Chinese release censors all mentions of the name "Shanghai" (where the opening battle takes place). Galloway's line "You guys made a mess at Shanghai" is edited to remove the last two words, while other uses of the city's name are bizarrely overdubbed with something that sounds like "Shanghaish."

    A good sequel
    I personally think that this one is slightly better than the first, because it doesn't have to establish all of the characters. Having said that, the story is a bit lacking and I really had to pay attention to try to understand what was going on at times. There could have been a bit more of the every day Sam to counteract the more apocalyptic elements and give a bit of balance. It all happens very fast.

    I also think that there was too much "Comic Relief". We already had The Witwicky's and Simmons and to some degree Sam himself, the addition of The Twins, Jetfire and Leo was fine, but they didn't need to be so comedic too.

    At times it is difficult during battle scenes to see who is who and which ones are winning.

    It is a good film though and an enjoyable watch for anyone who likes cars and things being blown up.
