Any avid transformers fan must have anticipated the sequel of the brilliant-yet-quite-not-so-brilliant transformers movie. I was a little dissapointed with the first movie to be honest, as I think they can tweak some of the scenes a lil bit. First of all,how about making the fighting scene between Prime and Megatron a lil bit longer and brutal? If you watched the animated film, the first transformers animated movie, the battle between the two leaders was engaging, with both parties took hit after hit and some more hits. Body parts went flying, and fatalities beckon for each side. Compare the two battle scene and you would see what I meant. The cartoon would kick the real-life movie arse way up to the orbit. The acting was also average, mostly due to the robotic Megan Fox. What would she do if she doesnt have the ‘package’ to show off? And please, the autobots never use the human artilary to help them defeat the decepticons. They just dont.
The large number of crowd gathering outside the cinema didnt dither my spirit even by a bit. I was determined to get my hands on the movie tickets no matter what it takes. As I stood patiently in the long, (I mean loooooooooong) line I couldnt even concentrate on my wife’s chattering as my mind was completely swayed by the prospect of spending the next few hours adoring the robots that I so fell in love with back a couple of decades ago. Dragging my wife’s hand. I walked hastily towards my seat. My heart was pumping heavily. I couldnt believe how excited I was. I was expecting a much improved sequel. They must have learned their mistakes of the first movie right? As I waited for the annoying cinema ads to end, the image of a young me clouded my mind. A boy was crying. He was begging and screaming. As he was pulled away by his ignoring father, he glanced his sad teary eyes for one last look at it. Oh Optimus Prime Action Figure, how the world would been different if I can hold you in my arms…
Two and half hours later, it was all over. I was distraught. Personally that was one of the worst money I have ever spent on movie tickets. The storyline was embarassing. Too many loopholes. Too many lame and inappropriate scenes. The movie brought shame to the Transformers franchise. First of all, since when did Optimus Prime became so heavenly strong and powerful? Did he go for some kind of SEAL training with the U.S navy? How come he be three time stronger than Megatron? For as long as I know, those two always fight equally. Megatron never need anyone to help him fighting optimus. That brings me to another issue. Megatron listen only to him and himself only. He never obey anyone. He even despised Unikorn and betrayed him. To see him kneeling to the fallen (who looked like and old witch) is hurting me. Here he is, one of the most iconic villains totally ripped off of its originality. You dont do that to Megatron. The fans expect Megatron to be as evil as he always be. Hes a no nonsense ‘I’ll kill anyone who try to oppose me’ type of character. Now hes become a pussy. Dammit, heres the list of the humiliating facts of the movie..
1. As I said above, the sudden increase of power by optimus prime. In the first movie, he struggled to match Megatron. In this movie, Megatron need two accomplices just to help him touch optimus.
2. Again, how the destroyed Megatron’s character. I missed the old gun slinging ‘Tron.
3. The acting. Sorry Megan, you are not an actress. You are a porn star trapped in a PG13 movie.
4. The story line was as engaging as a Razak Mohideen movie. Pointless and lacking depth. How to turn a bag of dust into solid? Easy. Let a bunch of primes come to your dreams and the dust will magically turn into a solid steel material. How to find a long lost tomb? No archeologist needed. Have a couple of annoying robots fighting about nothing and suddenly they will crack open the path for you.
5. Lots of delible scenes. We dont want to see a drunk Mrs Witwicky please.
6. How dependant the autobots are on the U.S army. It was like they cant win without their help. And check out the strength of the U.S army. They can kill a big fat ass decepticon with one shot. Wow. Even optimus will struggle to match that.
7. Just like optimus, bumblebee strength has grown rapidly. Maybe if they show a scene showing both of them training with Jet Lee, that will satisfy the audience better.
As a conclusion, I strongly recommend any movie goers to give this one a skip. Wait for the pirated DVD to come out. I waited in a the longest of lines to get my hand on the tickets and in the end that was the worst time wasting I have ever done. Ill review some other movies later. Till then ciao.
Rating : 2/10
How the world have kept us apart..
