Transformers 2

'Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen' -- well, that's everything you can ask for from a Michael Bay's movie. I've been thinking of delying this review till I watch the movie for few more times before starting. Anyway, right now, I think only once will be sufficeient for me to tell you about the movie.

First of all, the story is ok ... and frankly said, expected. Not many things new compared to the prequel, except for more robots and how Jetfire combine with Optimus Prime. That's a common thing that suffered by most movie sequels as well. So, it's forgivable. By the way, since it's a movie bout robots, there are more conversations among those transfoermers (which mostly are humourous) compred to the first installment. And also, Megan Fox is getting hotter and more mature as well...

Now, cinematography effects. Honestly, I'm wordless when watching those awesome fighting scenes. A lot of money has been invested into making the movie, and here, you can clearly see where those invesment has paid off. A little warning here for those who are not familiar with Transformers universe: get familiar with Autobots and Decepticons characters before buying the ticket, because you really need to differentiate them. Otherwise, what you can see is merely bunch of metals fighting each others.

About the cast of the story, everyone play thier roles well enough, though no one really stands out because it's just a commercial movies. So, both Sam and his girlfriend are very nice eye candies, and there still many spaces for improvement in sense of thier acting skills. One thing I notice in the movie, most characters in the movie act in the comedic way...which make this supposedly action movie become halfly comedy, which is acceptable since it's a movie for everyone.

Despite many elements that make this movie very commercialized, it's however a good movie in every sense. You will enjoy it for sure. Anyway, if you really want to watch it couple of times, like what Bernard did, you might consider yourself as whether it worths or not. I myself won't go for a second time right now except I really don't have any other movie to watch ald. So, if you haven't watch it, it's a sure-go and must for you to watch it!
