So today I got a chance to see Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen. Good God it was good! There are some really cool characters added in this movie that will make a lot of hardcore transformers fans from the original show really happy. I was like “Holy Amazing Grace that’s ********** and that’s *******!” But sadly no Omega Supreme. But after seeing the new characters that showed up in this movie I think they could pull off some form of Omega Supreme.

As with the first transformer movie the CGI was wonderful. It was not until half an hour after the movie that I first thought about how all of the Transformers were CGI. They looked so real that I didn’t even question their existence it was quite nice.

I went into the movie with pretty low expectations for the plot. Maybe this is why I loved it but who knows maybe the plot was actually good. The first movie’s plot was not horrible but it didn’t really catch my interest. The plot of the Revenge of the Fallen did catch my interest I thought oh wow the pyramids? Really? can you say Stargate?. The plot was full of moments were I was thinking “oh hell no! they didn’t!” but they did. And beware, there were quite a few deaths but it was all good in the end.

But really you don’t go to a movie like this for the plot. It is an action movie. I went because I wanted to see cool robots and explosions. But I got a bonus. In the last movie you got to see one major optimus prime fight scene, this one had three! and boy oh boy the fights were very very nicely done. Optimus Prime pwn3d those fools, but Omega Supreme is still better.

The second transformers movie took one small step away from the 1980’s cartoon. It was probably because of the involvement of a large number of different world cities. But in the beginning these conspiracy theorists talk about the alien robot attack in “LA.” In the first movie it was Metro City, like in the cartoons. It was obvious that Metro City was actually Los Angeles but they kept the name from the cartoon. Now I guess they are not worried about keeping with the cartoons names and junk. As long as they keep the names of the transformers I don’t care.

To give you an idea of just how good it was in the scheme of things I would say that Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen is sandwiched between Iron-Man and Star Trek ( the new Star Trek that came out in 2009).

I could type for hours and I still would not run out of great things to say about this movie. All I really need to say is this was a great movie and it is worth the $12 you’ll pay for the ticket. Fortunately for me my ticket to see transformers 2 was only $250 NTD (about $7.80 US) AND that included popcorn and a drink, Taiwan’s low cost of living is an amazing thing.

One last thing! I want to see Omega Supreme in Transformers 3 I will be very very sad and upset if he is not there.

That is all. Peace out.
