Transformers Revenge of the Fallen

Saw the movie last night, I was as excited as my son Sean when the movie started, when I saw Sideswipe transform, when I saw that Backhoe crane transform and when that Audi R8 started to move. But there were mixed feelings on the movie itself. 

Before the movie, I heard that someone was going to die, and was anticipating every scene in the movie, and when we got to that point, I was optimistic that it's just going to be temporary, heck even Megatron was brought back to life right? And if they would really kill him, then what's the point of doing another movie without him right? 

Anyways, ok the movie was exciting, may be because I am a really big fan of the Transformers but the plot was thin and confusing, perhaps that's how they made the movie, so that there will be lots of places where they can connect to for the next movie.

The disappointing and corny parts were, the Micro-Transformers, the kitchen appliances that turned into robots where reminiscent of the gremlins or goolies of the 80's. That Bumblebee started to shed loads of tears when Sam told him he's leaving him. Oh and the human never leaves the Autobot behind. And what the hell was the character of the twins and wheelie about? Why give them such a cartoonish character? Wheelie humping like a dog? Hmmmm not so appealing, take note that a lot of kids are going to see this movie. And parents will have a hard time explaining what the funny thing about the scene is all about. And robots are not suppose to leak out secretions, in all the fight scenes, the robots would spit out fluid like blood, oh come on! They were even spitting on Sam! Naman! And the alien concept thing, where's Sigourney Weaver? Now they turned organic? Having Jetfire in the movie and how he bares the Decepticon mark but has long been with the Autobots was another fun idea, but he was too cartoonish and outright incomprehensible. Devestator was a disappointment, what is he? Rotating neck? hmmmm ugly! one cannot even distinguish the different constructicons in him. 

Then there's Megan Fox's lips, my! They have grown! What gives? She's not too hot yet? Tsk tsk

Oh well, next stop, GI Joe the movie
