Transformers 2: is there such a thing as too much spectacle?

Michael Bay's follow-up to the film that threw Alex, Dan, and Jeff into a pretty heated argument way back in episode 15 hits the big screen this week. Are the battle lines drawn the same 2 years later, or have the guys' opinions on the franchise changed with this new installment?
