Super Summer Movie Spectacular # 5 is alive
Welcome back boys and girls. Its been a hot hot summer, the beach has been busy and I can already smell those 4th of Julie hot dogs cookin. So I went to the theatre last friday and what did I see? Well this time I proudly present to you...
Transvestites: always in disguise...no wait
Twansformers: Wobots that desensitize.
Too much for your eyes.
Twansformers..over emphasized
Ok sorry for that lol ,and now the review
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Prepare yourself,
To do battle, wage war,and
For 2 hours of metal, mayhem, super sized explosions, oversized mechanical monsters, evil alienoid robots from the planet Cybertron, coming to wipe out the human race using a giant plasma ray gun, hidden and buried deep below the earth.
Does that sound a tad bit overwhelming to you? It's a recipe for disaster.
Mix in some raunchy comedy and that's Michael Bay stile in a nutshell. He pulls no punches and every statement is balls out blatant. How about a scene with a teenage boy about to be raped by hot young teenage girl who is really an alien robot in disguise, hell bent on dissecting him? Yah sounds like it belongs. After all it is a Michael Bay film. So lets go for it.
If you manage to get around all that extreme, you might be able to find a movie worth watching. Transformers ROTF, is in essence a sci fi war movie but in this war its really hard to know who to cheer for or even why. Everything and I mean everything takes a back seat to action and special effects. Yeah the actors look good, sound good ( all be it they don't really have any good lines ) and theres plenty of them, but I expected better usage of character this time around.
The movie is funnier than I expect, the laughs in the begging really catch you off guard and were strong but like with everything else in a MB movie, it taste bad when overdosed.
I really have to complain about the new Autobots, and some of the Decepticons, just looking and acting all together way too human.
First off they tried to pour way too much personality into each one, making them sound like horrible stereotypes, or guests on a trailer park appealing talk show (ya know the kind that insists on airing peoples "Dirty Laundry" ) You might want to cry foul when you see the joke about the giant evil robot of destruction having a pair of metal clanging testicles.
Some robos have big googly eyes that look swollen, long bat shapped ears, thick oddly shaped out grown teeth that mismatch in color, and some even have a full out bristly beard. Does that even make any sort of sense to you? A Robot with a metal beard? Whats next zits? tattoos, piercings, how bout a big wet metal tounge.Why not? Such is the stupidity. Theres no ruling on any of this insanity.
But, enough about our non human actors, how about those 3 stooges and the 1 really hot chick? Does anyone else notice how actor John Turturro looks a lot like a would be middle aged Shia LaBeouf ? Do ya think the resemblance had anything to do with their pairing? or that in the movie Simmons even calls Sam his son ?
Well Simmons is quite the protagonist as it turns out, he leads the group on a while goose chase( or should I say camel chase ) through the Egyptian desert of all places.
What are they searching for? the plot of this movie ? A good joke ?, or a place to end their career?
Now how about that love story between Miss Fox and LaBeouf? Well, it was well presented but had very few moments. Not a lot develops, until the end. It was definitely lacking, and considerably Megan Fox was hardly even there, it was disappointing.
With all the movies absurdity aside it does manage to deliver a spectacular fight sequence on several occasions. Its most defiantly thrilling it's a bit shocking too, with some big moments of despair. ( Dont worry Im not going to spoil it )
In terms of action this is definitely bigger and better than the previous but, a lot of personalities have been reduced in their role, such as the Air Force crew, other Auto bots and thankfully the annoying parents. ( although the latter come in to play a lot near the end. )
I was surprised at the language this film explicitly delivers through its robot lips, and I couldn't help but feeling creeped out by the tiny little robot insects that stick their incredibly sharp metal feelers inside human body parts. Nasty.
There was a lot more dialogue from the digital characters this time, and I think they handled it fairly well. The villains were pretty cool and very much evil.
The best bit of course being the huge battle at the end with explosions a plenty.
All in all it's a good movie, exciting and adventurous which is what you paid to see.
You have to gear yourself up to see it though, cuz its going to leave you winded and dizzy.Its about the equivalent to seeing the Circus, Mardis Gras, a demolition derby and the 4th of July fireworks all in one day.
God bless the USA. ( and even Michael Bay )

This movie seriously beat the pants off Terminator and out did it by like a thousand. (ok, not a thousand but still alot) Even though it was weird and confusing as all hell, it still managed to show me alot of fun and cool stuff. I think after this movie there will be a 3rd and probably final film in 2 -3 years, just to wrap things up and say they made a trilogy, because even though this 1, is going to be a huge money maker,I just dont see them doing alot more with the story. Thanks for reading my blog ( there will be more updates shortly as I see more blockbusters.) please comment and tell me about all of your summer adventures.
