Come as you are
Please take note that my topic titles bare no significance on my entries. They're just the titles of songs that are playing at the moment. If there are none playing, I'll use the brand of my underwear. Now, moving on...
Transformers was... ok. For those who came of age crashing their Autobots and Decepticons together while watching Saturday morning cartoons and slurping down sugar coated cereal, you would understand. Still am disappointed so I don't really wanna talk about it. Maybe Mr Bay should've rung me for a consultation on creativity. Robots hiding from parents... is... so... fucking... childish... This movie was supposed to be for the ADULT fans, not the gremlins known as kids nowadays. Yet another movie about 'How powerful the US are' and 'We have the biggest guns in the world'. While it was cool to finally see the robots in action, the dialogue was somewhat shitty. Think kung fu movies translations. Transformers were and always will be one of my favourite toys, I had like 50 of them. This movie however, was impotent and if you had sat close enough to me during the movie, several 'wtf's and slaps on the forehead would have been audible. The only cool part was the actual transforming, other than that, the blurry 'fight scenes' left a lot to be desired. SEVERELY DISAPPOINTING. DON'T CREATE HYPE IF YOU CAN'T DELIVER ASSHOLES.
The movie I caught straight after that, Die Hard 4.0 was supposed to be like a post-dinner snack after the main course, transformers. However it crushed transformers, in terms of dialogue and action scenes. Seeing a car fly into a helicopter is way cooler than seeing 2 blurry neon robots wrangle like schookids. And the charisma of Bruce Willis? Enough said. No one even cared when Maggie Q died halfway through (oops). In terms of plot, dialogue and action, Die Hard 4.0 was miles ahead of Transformers. Little hype, but packs quite a punch. Highly recommended. =)
