Transformers: Revenge of the fallen review





Rating: 4.5/5


Review: "Transformers: Revenge of the fallen DVD review"


The most anticipated movie is here! It is loud, explosive and noisy. Transformers 2, in short, is very entertaining with big robots smashing one another. It is also intense and epic especially at the last battle scene. Michael Bay does what he do best. Big explosions, more bigger explosions and the biggest explosions. Transformers 2 is a non-stop action fun romp where you just have to sit and wait for it to unfold. You do not need to do anything else, like thinking and pointing out goofs.


Story: It is almost like the first one where story is just hidden in the amounts of explosions and CGI robots. But in Transformers, why do I care about plots that are intelligent? I am watching it for robots smashing each other. That is one thing a critic is never going to know. If Transformers has a twisted, dark and complex plot and the robots just appearing in a few scenes, it won't be called Transformers. Transformers means fun, explosions and robots. The music is even epic. Explosions are cool. The cast are hot. The director is insane. But one thing I do not like is that it has too much comedy and some lame characters trying to funny.


Overall: It is a good summer movie. Take a break from watching the usual genres, and watch something different. What is not fun seeing robots destroying everything in their path? Let see if G.I Joe is as successful as Transformers. Maybe not. Wait for Transformers 3.


DVD special features-Rating: 4/5


There is a long making of (2 hours and 14 minutes) which pretty covers everything you want to know about the movie but one thing that is not included is a featurette on the score which is disappointing. A featurette on 25 years of Transformers (10 minutes) is just about how Transformers have progressed for a long time. A featurette on visualising the special effects (25 minutes) which is not that fun. Deleted scenes (6 minutes) which are not useful to the story. A music video of Linkin Park singing the rocking theme song ( 3 minutes) and a trailer of the movie (2 minutes). Lastly, you can see conceptual artwork of the Transformers in the movie which is nothing much. Overall, it is a pretty good 2-disc edition DVD.

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "From Vegas To Macau 2 movie review" "Loads of fun in Wong Jing's bigger sequel." Wong Jing is back with more madness, action, explosion and a longer runtime. As every sequel tries to top its original in every way, From Vegas To Macau 2 is no different. Lots of explosion, lots of wacky humour and more CGI, if these are your entertainment, the movie will do you no wrong. From the opening gun fight to the CGI climax, the story is kept brisk to keep your attention in check. The story: Chow Yun-fat is back as the titular gambler, Ken, with the magic hand. This time, the movie exaggerates his skills with CGI poker cards until it almost becomes a fantasy. But that's to be expected in a Wong Jing's movie. This time, the location is shifted to Thailand where Mark (Nick Cheung), an accountant in a money-laundering syndicate, DOA, is chased by Interpol and DOA. Ken has to save him and help his protege, Vincent (Shawn Yue). Wong Ji

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w

Rating: 4.1/5 Review: "Transformers: Age of Extinction movie review" Michael Bay is back for the forth time in the soon tired franchise. To be honest, I like Michael Bay and enjoyed all of his Transformers movies. But seeing him return to the franchise made me weary. Three times the explosions is enough and yet a forth explosion happens. The good news for this is that it still has fantastic action, explosions, CGI and on top, it has fresh characters to carry the weight. The not so good news is that it has amazingly the longest runtime in the franchise which drags down the whole movie. The story: Michael Bay wanted to start afresh with this. It is clear with the different title font, a fresh set of new characters, less humour and even a different theme song by Imagine Dragons. However these are all that have changed. Michael's extended explosive noisy action, stereotype characters and others still stay the same. The formula of the story is almost like the last thr
