Warning: There may be spoilers.So i saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and ... it was pretty good. Not great but good.
Well when the first Transformers came out i was skeptical but when everyone was telling me how amazing it was i caved and rented it on DVD. It was actually amazing. It was not the way i pictured a live action Transformers movie to be. It was a lot more believeable if that makes any sense. so when i saw the trailer for Revenge of the Fallen i was so pumped and the trailer itself looked awsome.
So i went to the theatre this time with a bunch of friends for a 2 and a half hour movie. The beginning was kinda annoying. Since im not a guy i dont find Megan Fox all over a motorcycle very interesting. The movie picked up the pace and by the end it was full tilt robot madness. Now you have to come expecting more action then storyline in a Michael Bay movie and he didn't dissapoint.
The plot basically goes like this. Sams off to college but Mikela has to get her dad off his ass before she goes anywhere so their having a long distance relationship. When Sams moving he finds a piece of the al spark in his sweater and when he looks at it it shoots like information into his eyes and he starts freaking out all over the place. Now the deceptions are back and they go to the bottom of that trench and bring megatron back. Their looking for this thing that harvests the suns energy to save their race but they dont know where it is only Sam knows. So now they have to stop them before they kill Sam and activate the machine.
Now as long as that is you kind of forget about it between all the fights. Don't get me wrong the fights look amazing but is that what movies are all about? Also Sam and Mikela do the whole "do you love me?" thing and it grinds on my nerves after a while ... do i care?
Also this movie is a little ridiculous between all the new autobots crammed in there who barley get enough screen time to the primes which is just wierd and that part at the end with Sam? If you've seen the movie you know what i mean ... like what?
Anyway after sitting in the theatres for two and a half hours i was satisfied. Now i cant say if everyone else will be. Some of my friends absolutley LOVED it while some of my other friends thought it was boring and wierd. Me im neutral. Yea there are some bits that we could have done without but... overall it was a great movie. Have to say tho my favourite bit was Sams mom and the hash brownies... oh my.
I'd say go see it. Its worth the money and time. I give this movie and 8 out of 10 (i still pefer the first one).
till next time.
