I SEE SYMBOLS





What's more best to spent your Thursday evening going to the cinema watching Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen.

Ya yaa, StrawberryCookies knows that we are a week late since the movie boost the cinema. Some people had probably watch it for 3 times already and today, we finally watched it and as expected, the movie is miraculously incredible! We certainly feels that this second movie is getting better than the first. (yup, many bloggers, reviewers and people find the first is better). It's like love at first sight looking at some Autobots characters especially Bumblebee. For ladies, he symbolize a hot gentlemen with amazing bodies and a hot sexy chick for the guys. ahaa!

More Autobots and more Decepticons appears this time fighting for the Universe. Although Optimus Prime died and did not have too many scene, other characters of the Autobots especially Bee and the twins did a good job in this movie without their leader (We wonder why do they fight in the green forest anyway?). The Autobots are working together with the NEST and Sam, Mikaela and his roomates starts to run without much stop in this movie.

Personally, StrawberryCookies can feel the close relationship between Sam and Bumblebee this time with the dialogue used between them. Less Bumble and more Bee...(owww...it's like calling your sweetheart). Some reviewer of the movie dislike the fact that Bay's camera are lingering all over Megan Fox's but to us there is nothing wrong to portray the heroine in the film since Transformers are from Comic and that is how a lady is shown in Comics. Sexy. Besides, she's Megan Fox, the gorgeous!



Then, at the last part of the story, all characters are brought to Egypt, the place of the Fallen. But, something spoilt the movie in Egypt. The scenery shown is so unrealistic. Bay was showing camels walking in line in Silhoutte, and sound of a voice reading Al-Quran. Not so much of a "realistic" there. Then, after all the fight, there are no dead bodies or serious damage happened in that area. Again, not realistic. Maybe Bay was thinking that audience will not care so much about the scenery, they only care about the action between the characters and the way they transform.

However, in Revenge of the Fallen, there are no single scene that can make us bored watching it. It's all fast, stylish and loud. We should really look up to this kind of hard work and quality in a movie where they make superb effects of so many charaters being transformed. What an intelligent, creative, hardworking and rich team Bay have.

The movie ends with a message from Optimus Prime again just like before. StrawberryCookies just want to do a standing ovation and a round of applause at the end of the movie but the audience in the cinema was not a havoc one like we use to have while watching Transformers in Pavillion back in 2007. (OO yeah, the audience there we were clapping and so excited)

O, not to forget, Linkin Park did a great job again on the new OST titled New Divide. Still, What I've Done is a more perfect sound for Transformers. Agree? New Divide still did not get into our head until today.

We give a 4/5 for Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen.





*get your popcorn and enjoy!*
