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: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...

Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Batman: Gotham Knight DVD review" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2D animated movie has six different stories which are interesting on their own. The stories are fast-paced and some of them are action-packed due to the short runtime. The whole movie is only 1 hour and 16 minutes. Some of the famous villians are featured like Scarecrow and the Lizard. The six different stories also have their different styles, Batman seems like a fat monster in one of the story and he is a sleak man in black in another. Overall: It is a good watch even for those who are not a Batman fan but are into the recent live-action Batman movies. DVD special features-3.7/5 The second disc features two good and informative featurettes. One is about the villans of Batman (36 minutes). The writers and producers explain some of the famous villians like Joker and Scarecrow. The interesting facts are that they even ...
