transformers 2: revenge of the fallen


The first one was quite a bummer for me, it was cool, but they made the fights too close up, the aim was to show details of the transformation itself, but it's very much a dizzy-maker for me. So, I felt not too excited on waiting for the sequel.

I watched it last night, and it was THE BOMB! (using Randy Jackson's words)

2.5 hours full of action, cooler robots, bigger ones, so many details and definitely not a dizzy-maker this time! Amazing special effects combined with grand original score by Steve Jablonsky that spoil the ears, fight scenes that made my hands automatically performed ovations, uncountable 'Whoa' word from my mouth, not to mention a bit of watery eyes at the end of Forest Battle scene (well, don't blame me..he's one of my childhood heroes, d'oh!).

Smart move by using desert and forest for fight scenes setting. So we don't have to be confused by flying cars and running people on the street. Is it the same desert with the first movie?

The story itself is not too special, a regular one. The disappointment came when seeing too many cheesy scenes, drama and more drama, those are so 100 years old! And selling the body of Megan Fox? What's with that? It's like watching cheap action movies with motorbikes dudes!
The ending? Not extreme enough. Looks like it's too easy for Optimus.

Wait... can you believe it..? those are nothing compared to...

Less Optimus Prime! Optimus is only shown in front and end of the movie. That's not enough! A really big time disappointment since he is many people's childhood heroes.

Well, in terms of jokes, this one is way better than the previous one. Lots of funny acts, the twin robots, the Witwickies, Jetfire the English robot, even the new guy, Leo. I'm even grateful with Rainn Wilson and the oompa loompa guy in the movie.

I highly recommend Transformers 2 if you're looking for adrenalin and awesome action. You really have to watch it in a good cinema with top surround sound!
