Finally got to watch a movie that is quite new, so that I have a chance to review it before everybody else has watched it already.. :D I don't know whether its biasness or what, but the cinema screen in the Odeon, Liverpool One seems bigger and the sound system better than cinemas in M'sia.. Anyways, I really really enjoyed this movie! Despite the fact that I don't really like Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox, they manage to connect in this movie i think...If you haven't watched the first movie, i recommend that you do, cos it explains who Sam Whitwicky was and why his descendent (Shia Labeouf) who has the same name, is so important to the Autobots (good transformers, the bad ones are called decepticons).. For a full synopsis, please read this or this, rather lazy to launch into a full explanation, hehe.. oh, if you're wondering who 'the fallen' means, its an old, stupid, Ugly Decepticon :) Personally, all the Decepticons look kind of disgusting.. haha..
Instead, I would rather gush about how good Josh Duhamel looks in here as Major Lennox, a spot of good casting there, John Turturro was also likeable as former agent Simmons.. Megan Fox looks super hot and Shia Labeouf, erm.. is Shia Labeouf.. haha.. but seriously, the movie is action-packed, with funny scenes throughout that will definitely tickle your funnybone.. :) Its also true when people say that you can go and watch it just to glimpse the transformation scenes, truly awesome! The way they do it, it just so smooth and unbelievable.. Also the guy who voices Optimus Prime did a great job, you really feel like looking up to him as a leader, quoting the movie: "If God made man in his likeness, then who made him (Prime)?!" I was so traumatised during the scene where he sacrificed his life to save Sam.. Boohoo..
Its also great that Egypt is the background for this film, how to not be in awe when you are looking at the pyramids?? Watch out for the ancient fighter jet transformer too, really cute scenes.. The only scenes i didn't really like were the ones with the crazy mother, I really felt like she was over-acting a little.. oh, and the scene where Sam almost died-- Cheesy! haha.. Wonder if you'll agree with me after watching.. Overall 2 thumbs up! Many breathtaking scenes and funny lines.. As i said, I really really enjoyed the movie, a lot! :) Hope you would too~ Great soundtrack as well!
Conclusion: I LOVE OPTIMUS PRIME! (and i hate Megatron, haha..)Title: Transformers- Revenge of the Fallen
