Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen has got to be the most action-packed movie of the year.
Before I go any further, to all those who gave the film any score lower than 5 out of 5 or the equivalent, I suggest you guys move to China and watch Big Opera and stay away from cinemas for the rest of your lives.
Yes, back to the action-filled robotic show. The plot is relatively simple: there are some leftover scraps from the Cube in Transformers 1. These scraps are key to unlocking massive energy. The Decepticons want to find the energy and the Autobots want to prevent the Decepticons from obtaining the energy. There you have it. Quite the classic plot with a protagonist side and an antagonist side. So you might wonder how could a film with such a simple plot last 2 hours and above all else, hit $200 million (and still counting) in box office sales within less than a week of its release?
Simple. Action. Hardcore Transformers fanatics. And Megan Fox.
The movie starts with heaps of action, moves along with even more heaps of action and ends with action. Action is the essence of the movie (so are comradeship, leadership, faith and what nots). You don't see an aircraft carrier sink everyday. You don't see an aircraft carrier sink everyday. You don't see an aircraft carrier sink everyday. Sorry, I just can't stress enough on my fave part of the movie. Neither do you get to see a submarine get violently un-submerged and ejected out of the ocean too. And when was the last time you see 2000 pounds of explosives explode (Tropic Thunder comes to mind)? And did you ever stop to wonder if that superhot female classmate could be a sinister robot in disguise biding for the right time to rip your ass in half? The list goes on and on...
Other than action, Transformers 2 also have joke scenes which are humourous to watch and the forever voluptious and scantily-clad Megan Fox waltzing in and out of the show from time to time. Whew. Damn you Beef Beef. Why did they have so much kissing scenes in the show anyway? It was totally redundant! Unless, of course, if I am the lead actor.
Fans might have something to complain about the show (much like how Harry Potter fans would criticize the Harry Potter movies and how Da Vinci Password fans would criticize the Da Vinci Password movie) but for non-Transformers fans like myself, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is one epic blockbuster movie of the year. So for those of you looking for a good movie this weekend, the choice is obvious. As for those who have already watched it, there is no harm in watching it again.
Gotta go to work at 1pm later on in the day. I sure hope I can catch some bastards today. Can't wait to be promoted!
