Last Sunday hubby & I went to Seremban 2 TGV to watch Transformers. I guess we had too high expectations after the first transformer movie.
Oh don't get me wrong.... I still liked the transformation fr car to robot & robot back to car thing. The cars are a beauty too. Unfortunately I don't find it as "fun" as the 1st movie.
Transformers became just another robot - with exception of the beloved bumble bee. The twin robots is quite irritating at times & the motorcycle robots are quite frankly - no identity, no character, no attitude. They became just another machine. Ironhide was cool but he only appeared here & there in bits & pieces.
The bad guys are all a bunch of ugly looking robots in the form of a crane (?!?), buldozer (?!?) etc & not the sleek fighter jet plane like the first episode.
The comedy are mostly fr the ppl & not the robots. Unlike the first movie where most of the comic relief are from transformers themselves. Thank God the irritating pouting "fish lips" is gone (a bit), but all the other parts are still "bouncing"... Maybe it's for the benefit of the guys.
All in all the movie failed to evoke any emotion. The 1st movie for example... when 1 of the autobots died, the whole theatre practically go "Oh no!!!" & we grieved for his demise. But here... even Optimus Prime's death did not spark a peep! How sad is tht?! It indicated tht the characters of the Autobots were not developed. They ended up becoming a machine "vowed to work with humans to protect Earth & mankind"...
Both hubby & I thought it was fortunate we didn't splurge to watch this on Signature @ the Gardens. Love the CGI, but not enough....
