The second Transformers movie pushes Michael Bay's style even further, packing in more action and over-the-top moments than before. Early in the film, Megan Fox’s character Mikaela is shown in a shot that focuses on her as she leans against a motorcycle, emphasizing sexuality in a manner not typically expected from a family film based on children’s toys. Other scenes include a honey trap aimed at Sam, the return of the Transformers' "ball gag" from the previous film, dog mating jokes, the hip-shaking of the small Transformer "Wheely," and John Turturro's thong. These recurring crude gags make the film's comedic style distinct, though their appropriateness within the context of a family-targeted franchise may be questioned.

A father who is just trying to do his best for his kidnapped daughter. That's all there is to say about this movie. There are no flashy special effects or CG in the middle of the film.

A battle of abilities. X-Men is famous for the fight of different skills, but this work is relatively straightforward. The psychological battle was more interesting than the battle itself.
