    bay and a few others mentioned they wanted this sequel to be darker...do you think it was?


    i dont.

    prime dying was probably the darkest part of the movie, everythin else was on the same level as movie 1

    The Darkest thing about this movie was the room in which they wrote it.

    There was too much comedy to make it anywhere near dark.

    By itself as a stand-alone movie, not that dark, but compared to the first movie, it was darker.

    All of the trailers led us to believe that it might be, but for every "dark" scene in the film there was a shot of Devastator's "wrecking balls" or Simmons in a thong.

    Nonetheless, I walked out pleased. The forest fight alone more than made up for any shortcomings the rest of the film may have had.

    ROTF was not dark except for those Decepticons who lost their heads in the movie. It can be hard to see if you have no head.
