Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is everything I expected it to be… A giant robot action film and a rip roaring wild ride. I particularly enjoyed how the story focused on the robots while Sam Witwicky’s story takes on the role of supporting story line. It’s an owner for me.
Blood: The Last Vampire: The trailer for this movie looks awesome! There is a kind of Blade feel to it. Vampires and martial arts in one movie… this looks like a must see for fans of vampires and wuxia films. Definitely a renter.
Blood+: Part Two is a series based on the 2000 anime film Blood: The Last Vampire about a little girl vampire hunter. The 2000 animated film of Blood didn’t spark my interest but the new movie that came out this year looked interesting and is a renter. My interest in the movie is why this is a renter. It will sit low on my rental list though I’m still unsure about it and will wait to watch the movie first. If you have any comments on the Blood movie’s or this series please let me know.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is everything I expected it to be… A giant robot action film and a rip roaring wild ride. I particularly enjoyed how the story focused on the robots while Sam Witwicky’s story takes on the role of supporting story line. The pacing is swift and the immaculate reality is maintained throughout the movie to the point that it feels like a short movie even though it runs for almost three hours.
The effects looks great, they continued and improved upon all of those wonderful little moving parts that thrilled us in the 2007 Transformers movie. There are many intense fight scenes that not only featured the spectacle of the fight but also demonstrated style and strategy which gave more depth.
The Plot / Story: Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about an energon source. Joining the mission to protect humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle.

The story focuses on the robots not the people
The pacing is swift, follow able, and without sags
Maintains immaculate reality
The effects looks great
I really enjoyed the comedic antics from Wheelie and the twins: Mudflap and Skids
how the fight scenes also showed different fighting style and strategy
Some nice emotional twists
at several points in the story the writers avoided taking the obvious path with Sam’s Allspark shard.
A must see in the theaters for me mostly for the giant killer robots. I really liked the first Transformers movie, read my review here, and with this one promising to have even more robots it can only get better.
Let me know what you think. Will you go to see Transformers Revenge of the Fallen in the theater on June 24th or rent it? If you have seen it in the theater should I go see it and why?
