Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen (2009)

I’m a huge fan of Transformers, and so my expectations on this movie is nothing but high. The first movie was satisfying, and I was hoping I wouldn’t get disappointed with the second sequel.

The final verdict? Well, the movie was awesome. The fact that Megan Fox was steaming hot in this movie just adds up to everything nice about it. Except for the very last part that is. I always disliked it when they asked Optimus Prime to say “We are sending a message to all Autobots… bla… bla...bla”

Anyway, what made the movie great? For starters, it was action packed. Secondly, it was filled with small but amusing funny jokes, and thirdly… it is Transformers for crying out loud!!

I wouldn’t want to give out many spoilers, but I have to warn you to expect the unexpected. There are so many things that the Deceptions could do this time, much more than I ever knew. Anyway, go catch the movie in cinema’s because it is just worth to watch.

Terminator Salvation [2009]


I honestly thought that this movie would seem weird without Arnold, but guess what?? He was in the movie after all! And he was NAKED!! Well, the movie is an awesome treat for those wanting action. You have all sorts of excitement within this movie, and it is definitely worth to watch it in the cinema if you want to enjoy the effects. Nonetheless, it is a typical action movie with the typical plot; “guy wants revenge and goes after who ever made him mad”, so do not expect much from the plot. The ending was anti-climax, as the rest of the world is said to be still controlled by terminators, yet their head(Skynet main base) base has been destroyed.

At the end, you’d be left guessing what happened to Marcus Wright and the Blair Williams. I was also a little entangled between logic as I couldn’t find the logic of releasing without conditions, a traitor (Lisa) whom has just released a prisoner. Other than that, the movie also made me hugely wonder on how Marcus was resurrected from the dead after his heart was punched until it burst in the first place. At the very list, I think the movie was illogic, but then again, what part of science fiction movies are? A movie I recommend if you have extra time, but not a must watch.

Paul Blart Mall Cop [2009]


Paul Blart Mall Cop is a nice family movie. Despite having trailer which may seem to give the impression the the movie is largely based on comedy, my observation generally differs. The story line is strong and easy to understand, but there are moments when I feel that the movie could be greater.

On a positve note, I did enjoy the movie, but I do not think it is worth to see in the cinema. One thing special in the movie is the moves and also stunts made by the robbers whom display fantastic if not awesome extreme sport jumps and moves.

The ending was mediaroce, and rather romantic, but it will not give you 'the feel'. Overall, a decent movie, but it will not score any box office any time soon.

The Fast and The Furious 4 (2009)


The fast, and the furious is a movie which revolves on cars. I’ve seen most of the sequels of this movie, but I can say I am largely disappointed with the latest installment. The movie basically starts off awesomely with stunning stunts, and fantastic driving. The climax would be when an oil tanker was rolling down a hill, moving fast towards Dominic Toretto and Letty, in which they avoided by merely a few inches. That scene not only stunned me, but glued me to the screen for about a minute or two. Sadly, that was also where the movie ended. The rest of the scenes were inconclusive, and boring.

In fact, it was so boring; I almost slept at the ending because the movie does nothing special. It’s the usual ‘revenge’ type of movie, and even worst… there was nothing to shout about in the driving skills of the drivers in the movie. I would prefer The Transporter 3 to this movie, and my recommendation is to skip this sequel.
