First and foremost, this blog is going to have some spoilers in it so if you haven't see Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen then stop reading and GO SEE IT!!!!
With that said... holy crap!! What a movie! Is it great like Dark Knight or Slumdog Millionaire? Nope not even close. Is it a great movie for Transformers fans? YES!! If you liked the 1st version from Michael Bay, I'm sure you're going to love this one too.
I went do the midnight showing hoping I wasn't going to make a fool of myself to my friends by falling asleep midway through the movie. Not only did I not fall asleep during the movie, I was so amped up after the movie was over that it took me into early morning before my eyes finally shut and stayed shut.
The regular cast from the 1st movie is back for this version and thank goodness because Megan Fox is so damn... well you know. And I'm secure enough in my manhood to say I'm starting to grow a mancrush on Shia LaBeouf. He's showing Hollywood that he can hang as a lead in the right films.
This version of Transformers played up on what made the last one good as they give Sam and his parents more zainy type moments at the house and during the 1st few hours of college.
Last go round people complained about the lack of Autobots and Decepticons but not this time. There are new Autobots to fight with Optimus Prime and there are more Decepticons to help Megatron destroy the world. I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw Soundwave up in space hacking into the military satillite to evesdrop on what's going down here on Earth. Using the original voice that I grew up listening to make me mark out big time.
If you watched the trailers over the past year you knew Devasator was going to show up. It takes awhile but as you watch the life sized Tonka toys started to transform and lock together to form that massive beast the heart starts to beat even faster.
I've heard the rumblings starting to pop up since the movie's permire the other night and I don't agree with it. The 1st one I've heard is that it's too long and there's just way too much stuff jammed into the movie. Now I won't completely disagree with those negative reviews because there are some moments and characters that just don't make sense or help the overall story arc but I like to look at a movie as a whole and the good easily outweighs the bad in this situation.
The 2nd negativity coming from the movie this this crap about racist Autobots. I just don't agree with something being labeled as racist just because a character plays up a certain stereotype. Black/White, christian/Jewish whatever. The movie isn't making fun of any certain group, they're just playing up certain groups. They're called stereotypes for a reason. The play up Sam's parents as being middle class, yuppie, fun loving parents. They play up John Turturro's character as a now Jewish deli worker. So why are people getting upset about the 2 hip-hop speaking Autobots? Makes no damn sense.
Compared to the other summer blockbusters it easily destroys Wolverine and Terminator and I say it's slightly better than Star Trek only because I'm biased towards the world of Transformers and not a big Trekkie.
I'm going to give Transformers a rating of:
4 1/2 out of 5 Fu-King stars and Megan Fox 10 out of 5 Fu-King stars along with my phone number. I'll pay for dinner.
Be good and get out of the heat by dropping us some comments and let us know what you think about the movie. And don't forget to check out our t-shirt designs.
