Went to watch Transformers 2 today with Ken and Liz after much persuasion from Ken. I cheated and paid only $6 for the movie tickets at Century Cineplex (? - I thought it was Shaw, paiseh) pretending I’m still a student. The queue at Tampines Mall’s Golden Village was too long, so we went to Century Square instead.
Halfway into the movie, I FELL ASLEEP. It’s jinxed. Really, how can I possibly fall asleep, for both Transformers 1 and Transformers 2? I gather that it’s totally jinxed, if not, then the story just doesn’t engage me. I like the effects, I like the cars, I like how handsome Optimus Prime is, I like the adorable Twin cars, but the storyline sucks.
I’m not a professional critic, but if this blockbuster can’t keep me awake in the cinema, I can totally understand why they call this the worst reviewed blockbuster in history. Even High School Musical could keep me entertained. Another downside of the movie was that it was too lengthy. 2.5 hours of ‘cling cling’ and ‘clang clang’ were too much for my eardrums. Sparks and metal parts filled the screen, it was overwhelming, and maybe I fainted. I don’t know, but when I came back to my senses, Optimus Prime is dead. I asked Ken if Optimus died, he said ‘Yes’, and I cried. I cried cos’ I thought I paid $6 to see the most handsome die so soon. Nah, kidding. I cried out of sympathy. Hehheh.
I hate it when they incorporate too much reality into this Sci-Fi show. There’s the US army, navy, air force… even President Obama is mentioned! Like Hello? The last time I know, we didn’t have robots from a faraway universe in alliance with the United States trying to defend this world against other robots from the same faraway universe that are trying to take down the Sun. Too much realism kills the excitement and fantasy. A Sci-Fi should remain a Sci-Fi; superheroes should remain anonymity no matter what.
The movie lacked a strong storyline. I need not ask my brother(who watched it twice) any questions about the movie because there wasn't even a need to think! Things just happen so fast with such big impacts without much reasons.
I don’t understand why is this sequence named ‘REVENGE OF THE FALLEN’, when ‘The Fallen’ only wakes up at the last 5 minutes of the movie after a thousand-year-old nap. I believe ‘Revenge of The Deceptors’ would name a more suitable name. Perhaps they should come up with a parody called ‘Revenge of The Consumers’ soon.
I can only conclude that, the Boys watch it for the robots, the Men watch it for Megan Fox, and all females young and old watch it after being pulled in by their male counterparts.
