Hmmmm....what can I say about this movie? It is full of action and if you are a fan of the first movie then you will most likely love Revenge of the Fallen. Apart from that basically the movie is simply a series of pointless action scenes that carry you from one place to the other.
The most fun I had in the entire movie is from watching Megan Fox's breasts bounce in slow motion as she runs through the hot desert sand. The movie simply has no soul.
There are a few jokes here and there. Scenes ripped from much better movies such as Titanic, Armageddon, Perl Harbor, Hackers, The Matrix, Top Gun and ...whatever else. Its like a Clip Art movie, stock footage is everywhere. But as a whole, the movie has no sense of time, space, speed or distance. Things just happen, sometimes in human time, other times in robot time. Things happen, People talk, things happen. You are never really sure how far anybody is from everybody else. Its a disjointed, holy mess of a story.
In Conclusion; it a 2 hour odd thrill ride that is full of random action scenes. Only for people who love fighting robots, slow-mo shots and comedy. My rating; 6 out of 10. Average. Rent or Cable.
The only way to describe this movie is in one word "car porn". If you cut out the parts of the movie which are impossible, the talking and the parts that are in slow motion, the movie would be ten(10) minutes long. Really. Even the catch phrase of the movie "new model, original parts" defies all logic and makes my head hurt. But this is not a bad thing because slow motion, crazy car tricks and Vin Diesel, is good reason enough to see this movie.
At some points in it there will be people running but this doesn't happen very often because this movie is all about burning that petrol and there isn't a gas station or police car anywhere to be seen. This movie may not appeal to the kitties among us and by the half way point will start to look sleepy eyed. This movie is about going fast, revenge and the constant battle between muscle and import.
Basically if you liked the first movie, this one is pretty much on par with the original ( if not slightly better ). Only downside is that the music is almost totally Spanish reggaeton/hip-hop/rap which can't really compete with Ludacris did for Too Fast Too Furious. My Rating, 9 out 10. Can't wait for Fast and the Furious 5.
Stunner commented: Wow ! you gave it a 9 out of 10! I think I will go watch the bootleg version that has been lying around on my PC! Still not going the the cinema to watch this. ... read 10 more
I will assume that if your reading this that you've watched the movie already. Now I'm not saying that its a bad movie, its was just too long, too many little stories and side quests and things happening. The movie took forever to get to the point or maybe I was just too bored and tired by the time I realised that the lawyer guy was two-face.
The movie should have been in 2 parts or maybe they should have cut out allot of the extra stuff. It felt highly edited and disjointed like a bad soap opera ( or maybe all soap opera hmmm). I can only imagine how much extra footage got left on the editing table.
Between batman's raspy voice, joker's constant tongue licking and cod chewing, there is a good movie in there. But you have to admit Joker could not have done all that shit by himself - batman must have been helping him.
The batman mobile is NOT COOL! Its suppose to be cool. Long tiresome ride. 8 out of 10.
Shutter is a cross between The Ring and Grudge (funny enough its executive producers are the same). Though not quite as well written or thought out. Its a suspense thriller about a photographer who's new wife hits a girl with her car in the forest. The girl's body however is never found and her "spirit" begins to show up in all the photographs they take. The guy travels to a chinese city for a new job hence is followed by the ghost across the ocean or forest or whichever - it is never quiet clear. Alot of this movie is never quiet clear until the last 5 or so minutes of the movie. You could essentially watch the last ten minutes of the movie and get it but in order to see how pointless the first section you just have to watch it all. Its an annoying connundrum of sex, lies and photo tape.
I give shutter a 8 out 10 for being what it is - a suspense thriller, with no real purpose except to scare you by showing you random objects and changing the background music. You'll get you monies worth.
Contains: 1 skinny white girl, chinese people and location, 1 duppy
