Faith rarely calls upon us on a moment of our choosing

I watched Transformers : Revenge of The Fallen at Summit USJ last night. I haven't been there in ages. But i really didn't regret going there. Although Summit is practically dead compared to Pyramid and 1U, but GSC is 2 times better than TGV. The movie was great, awesome cars, awesome-er robots, hot girls, this movie had it all.

I think Michael Bay did a good job at making it a action-comedy-romance movie. The action part definately checked out because of the really really really cool robots flying all over the place. There were parts which were confusing due to Autobots and Decepticons all looking the same and there were no attempts at all to introduce the new robots. Did anyone even notice who was Arcee, Ravage, or Sideswipe? The only robots tat did get actual screen time were the twins Skid and Mudslap who were absolutely hilarious and Devastator who didnt really need an introduction ( it was the one "remodeling" the pyramid).


As for acting, i could never really comment on how good someoen acts or how bad. Shia Labeouf still looks like a small kid only taller but i wouldn't choose anyone else to play Sam Witwicky. Megan Fox.....no explainations needed. The new guy, Ramon Rodriguez who plays Leo is another actor thrown in there for the comedy factor along with John Turturro who played Agent Simmons in the 1st movie.

I highly recommend this movie to everyone. The effects were great although the plot may be hated by some, I found it rather creative. And i think Michael Bay made a smart choice by creating his own stories and not following the originals. This will give him space to make any sequel he wants. And the fact that he closed up every movie, he can start a new 1 very easilly. There has been a rumor that a Transformers 3 is in process but if it is, the air date will only be in 2012.

Sorry, couldnt resist....
