Transformers : Revenge of The Fallen

I watched it. The rating I give is 5 out of 10. And my review goes like this....


The good :
- Action- packed !!
-Michael Bay's hurrah(explosions, slow-mo action). Fortunately I like Bay's style of film making. Remember Armageddon? The Rock? Bad Boys 2(perhaps) and the first Transformers film ofcourse xD.
-More kick-ass autobots.
-Stronger and cuter Bumble bee...........and Optimus Prime.
-High performance of visuals, graphics and cinematography like no other.
-More fighting scene.
-More Transformers !!
-Megan Fox running in explosions with her cleavage ON !! slow-motion summore !!(nahh...it's true but i'm not that excited ok?)

The bad - Spoilers ahead ! (not advisable to read if you haven't watch)
-Soundwave a satelite? Not a bad idea for a robospy but i think he didn't do much and was used as a plot convenience.

- Some plot blunders include the Decepticons said they need to capture Sam. Because he had the "wanted" knowledge or an artifact. During the whole movie. all they need was his knowledge or the artifact. Every chance they had to capture him and yet they kept shooting at him or otherwise they were doing something that could destroy his knowledge or artifact.

-Sam's roommate = annoying. He serves no purpose, except for some initial comedy, and introducing or "re-introducing" us to "robo warrior". After this, he should have exited the stage, but he didn't, he just hung around and cried,or yelled, or both at the same time.

- A lot of "dirty" humour/joke. Not suitable for kids. But..hey, i think it's ok for Malaysian kids who are not so "banana-like" haha because it will be hard for them to catch the "dirty" conversations as the way the characters spoke were quite fast. and then there's dogs humping, robot humping Megan's leg and then there's err.....steel testicles(ya from an assembled robot).

-The twins robot...speak in ghetto accent(they from Brooklyn?). They claimed that they can't read. I think one of them got gold teeth and they always fight and argue. I accused this as stereotyping to the Black Americans. Racist perhaps(?).

-I think they used the same scene/setting as the first Transformers movie. Look carefully..the dessert.

-Not much Transformers' character building. There are a lot of robots just don't get enough time on screen. A lot of "keh-leh feh" robots. Feel sorry for the real fans....

Overall review : 2 and a half hours is a little bit tiring to watch this sequel seriously because of the script, plot holes and senseless humour. Ya...true..tiring. You'll probably being carried away by the explosions and the marvelous CGI of the movie. It's really great ! I do like the climax battle between Prime and The Fallen. That's probably one of the best moment i had while watching this movie. =)

oh ya...
Linkin Park did it again by producing its soundtrack called "new devide". Rock on LP !!
and also 2nd soundtrack The Fray's "never say never" it's worth listening.
