transformers: revenge of the fallen  

I have not seen the movie yet, but really want to. Will probably go sometime next week. I did read a review though that said it was not near as good as the first one. Said it should have had more Shia Lebouf and less robots. I suspect it will be pretty good though. You can't go wrong with giant robots and a lot of destruction!

In my opinion it was a much better movie than the first instalment. Whereas the first movie got a bit flat in places Revenge of the Fallen hurtles along at the typical breakneck speed one expects from Micheal Bay and never lets up however this time to me the story seems a lot more cohesive and the characters after setup in the first movie are able to live a bit more. Shia LeBouef and Megan Fox work as the leads and the comedy relief from Sam's parents works well and isn't overused. The other supporting cast are solid various recognisable faces from TV (24's Agent Pearce) as well as Josh Duhamal and Tyrese Gibbson reprise their roles and John Turturro was excellent as always i thing Agent Simmons is my favourite character in the whole movie. Now the robots as with the first movie the Autobot and Deception design is awesome and the fight scenes are frantic my only criticism is at certain times so much is going on at once it becomes a bit of challenge to keep up with the action. (Nerd note: it was great to see that Frank Welker is back voicing Decepticons once again even if its Soundwave and not Megatron) The set pieces are vintage Bay and Ill be honest some of the fight sequences are literally jaw dropping. In a nutshell the perfect summer blockbuster and way more satisfying than Terminator Salvation.

It was pretty good saw on this past Friday , compared to the first , the opening in the first flim was better , than this one , lots of action , and alot of " What ? did they just say that ? moments , very interesting , it was worth the money but to me the ending could have been , slowed down just a notch and not rushed , i hate that in flims.

Yesterday, since it was Saturday, I just had to see Transformers, it's sort of political as well but in a more raw sense because it's about the use and abuse of power. Everyone seeks power either to use it for the benefit of the majority or for one's own gain. It also showcased how a war sparked from the most noble endeavor. In this case, the search for a source of power lead to the choice of whether to sacrifice a whole race over its generation or to opt to let them be. This was especially true during the colonization period and up until present.

But to look at it in a more general sense, we can see how branches of government interact and contradict each other. Each from a different viewpoint with different strategies even with only one goal.

I can go on and on but I suggest you watch the movie as well
