On Tuesday night, there was a showing of Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen. A couple of friends and I are pretty big fans, well my friends are die-hards one has a Transformers tattoo, and we loved the first movie. I also want to be a computer animator so anything with CGI in it fascinates me to no end, and those CGI robots…well they are AMAZING! So since we liked the first movie so much we decided to see the midnight showing of it on Tuesday.
Now like I said I am a huge fan of animation and again this movie had TONS of it, but that was pretty much all of the awesome factor I got from it. Well, and I am not ashamed to say the other reason is Megan Fox… she is pretty hot. The movie overall though had just taken a turn for the worse for me after the first 30 minutes. I mean through the whole middle half of the movie; the only auto-bots focused on were two “gangster” stereotype robots, who had absolutely no reason to be in it except for very cheesy lines, and the humans. I mean the movie is called Transformers not The human kids running around with robots. None of the original bots introduced in the first movie really did anything in this movie, except for Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and that was only at the beginning and very end. This was a huge disappointment for me, as well as the random scenes that waste 10 seconds of my life. I mean do I really need to see two little dogs humping each other…TWICE? I don’t even need to see it ONCE.
I would say this movie would be a 2.5 out of 5 stars, and that is only primarily because of the animation and the cool fighting scenes. Plot was terrible, dialogue was terrible, and the acting was…so-so. Even though I say this I know people are still going to see it, as well as have their own opinions on it, but would I recommend it…no I would say wait until you can RENT it to see it.
Oh, I am so disappointed. The commercials and trailers look so action packed. I liked the first movie. Even though the story line wasn't the greatest, the animation was very cool. Sad that the second isn't as good. Guess I will have to rent it instead of adding it to my ever growing DVD library.
ReplyDeleteBrandi, I've heard similar disappointments from other fans. Also, I heard it was totally inappropriate for little kids... which is strange since that's who they've marketing to. Do you think the plot just became overwhelmed with special effects?
ReplyDeleteSo, I saw a disappointing movie this week, too. I saw "My Sister's Keeper" which was a very good novel. The movie wasn't very good because it didn't focus on any of the other subplots.
I don't agree with you completely but there were some parts of the movie that could have been left out. Overall I thought the movie was pretty good, but then again I'm not a die hard fan. Megan Fox is overrated and she did kind of ruin that part of the movie. But for the good part, the action was amazing and very thrilling.
ReplyDeleteBrandi, I'm not a big fan of Transformers. I will take your advice and stay away...although I'm sure we will rent it considering my boyfriend likes these kind of movies. I also get disappointed when I think something is going to be awesome and it turns out to be crappy. Especially having to pay like 8 dollars to see it. They should refund you if you were that dissatisfied. haha
ReplyDeleteI thought the movie was definitely dragged on a bit. But the special effects that went into that movie were absolutely rediculous and overall i thought it was a good movie. I definitely liked it better than the first one.
