What a stare. It is back in theaters with a whole new look. How good is it? Our Ron Edens has his review.

Transformers 2 brings a new meaning of “brain-dead movie”. Aside from the phenomenal, over-the-top CG, the movie becomes a struggle between boredom and utter disappointment. Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox return as a love-struck couple struggling to be together. Their story is laughable. Making a bigger impression is Shia’s on-screen parents who for some reason bring in the comic relief way too early and turn things from awkward to uncomfortable. The main story behind The Fallen is weak at best and it leaves room for way too many questions. The Autobots have suffered terribly from poor dialogue writing as you’ll notice from every word they say being “fresh” and “hip”. The annoyance factor keeps climbing throughout the movie and you may find yourself doze off. I could go on and on but I’ll wrap it up in a nutshell: If you can sit down and turn off your brain, then go for it. For those of us who want to be drawn into the movie and be mesmerized like the first Transformers, get ready to be disappointed. Shame on you, Michael Bay. You once again fleeced me for my money!
