To the cinema : Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen

After nearly 2.5 hours of blurry transformations of machines, confusing and long fight scenes, and the actors shouting at one another most of the time, I got to say that Transformers 2 is disappointing. Ok, the entertainment level is there, but the storyline is plain old school and expected.

And apparently, seems like everyone, except for Mikaela, in the movie has something to do to try to save the Earth from the aliens, even for Sam's room mate, Leo, who obviously is introduced just to bring in humour to the movie, brought them to the RoboWarrior.

So, what, exactly is Megan Fox's role in this movie? Other than being shown as Sam's girlfriend and a sexy mechanic, and waiting for Sam to say "I love you"? No offense to those oh-i-think-Megan-Fox-is-damn-hot fans out there, but she has absolutely nothing to do in this movie. Ok, maybe to attract more male movie-goers who are not Transformers fans to boost the box office sales, other than that, her role is completely unnecessary compared to Transformers 1. And surprise! There is a Transformers 3, presumably coming out in 2011, and I wonder what will she do in there?

And then there is the contradictory part at the start when the chaos started in Shanghai. I thought the army guy said that the civilians are evacuated, then how come there is the old man still happily eating his dinner when the bad and mean machine tore through the house?

Also, those unnecessary scenes, like the one where Sam's mother innocently took too many drug-laced cookies and became high and ran crazy around his campus; the one where the twin cars fought and Bumblebee accidentally hit the wall when we all know that the key is behind that wall; and the battle scene at the dessert while waiting for Sam and Mikaela to run to save Optimus Prime. It was a longest, noisiest, messiest and most boring scene. And, the part where Optimus destroyed the Sun Harvester and the Fallen, it was so anti-climatic!!!!!!

Sorry, dear... if there really was a Transformer 3 coming out, maybe look for someone else to watch it with you? I can patiently wait for the DVD to be out and save on the movie tickets to buy tidbits to go with the DVD.
