Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (MY thoughts)

I went to see ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ with my cousins this past Monday. Rarely is there ever a good movie playing when you have events going on in your life. So it was a special time and treat for all three of us. All I can say is: It is one awesome movie! Wow! The best movie of the year, in my opinion. I’m saddened that a lot of movie critics (and even some fans) are giving it bad ratings and reviews. Then again, I guess I should have expected it. Critics hardly ever like the movies that are good and entertaining.

The graphics and action are amazing and positively mind-blowing. And seeing it on the big screen with surround sound made the experience even better. I literally felt the floor under me vibrate with the action going on. And I swear that several times I thought the Transformers were going to walk right out of the screen and charge through the seats where we were sitting. This would truly be one epic movie to watch in 3D. My first words I uttered when I walked out of the theater? “That was SO awesome!” I felt like turning around and buying another ticket and seeing it again. Haha!

Bumblebee was simply adorable, as he always is. I’m telling you—movie Bumblebee has GOT to be the sweetest and most adorable thing ever created.  There was one scene in particular that just tugged at my heart and made me melt into a puddle of goo. Sam gets mad at Bee for blowing up half the house and Bee starts acting like a little kid—kicking at the ground and getting frustrated and pouty. So the conversation soon leads to Sam telling Bee that he can’t go to college with him and Bee bursts out crying. It was so cute. Although it’s interesting that Bumblebee STILL did not talk in this movie! Even after we saw him get healed by the Allspark in the first movie. I don’t know the reasoning behind that, but it’s kinda weird. Apparently everyone loved him talking with his radio instead. So they decided to keep it like that.

And I will NEVER look at home appliances the same way again! LOL!!! You’ll understand why if you see the movie (*cough*The reason Bumblebee blows up half the house*cough*). I’m not gonna give away spoilers because I know how frustrating and annoying that can be, especially when you’re trying to avoid them.

There were so many great moments in it, though! And a lot of humor, some surprises, a few sad moments, and tons of action and fight scenes that are just…. There are no words to even describe.

I loved Starscream so much better in this second movie. I guess because he had a bigger role and acted like his old self. Plus, they upgraded his design a little bit, so he looked better than he did in the first movie. And I was pleased to see some Megatron and Starscream conflict too (which the first movie was badly lacking in).

My only complaints are: Even though ‘Revenge of the Fallen’ is a wonderful movie that I highly recommend, it does have a lot of bad language in it (so be prepared). There is also several small ‘sexual humor’ scenes that I highly felt were unnecessary and were just thrown in for the sake of having something perverted and smutty. I seriously do not understand why they feel a need to put innuendo and perverted content in movies that are meant to be fun for any age. I probably never will understand.

Other than that, it is a totally awesome thrill-ride movie. Do I think it's better than the first one? It's really hard to say. My cousins and I both thought that it IS better than the first one after we saw it. But now I can't really say they can be compared with each other. Both movies are equally good in their own way, in my opinion.

“Today’s lesson is about stuff and how it works!”

Gotta love Transformers Animated quotes. It’s about time we got a good cartoon series with catchy quotes that you always find yourself saying. Very rare to find a cartoon series like that nowadays.

Anyways, it’s been awhile since I updated this thing. At the moment of typing this it’s 1:46 AM. I really should get in bed because I’m about to drop right here on the keyboard, but oh well. I’m the type of person who just tries to stay up as late as possible. I dunno what it is about me. lol! I literally have to force myself to go to bed sometimes, even though I might be sitting there with one eye open. Even when I get IN the bed, I have to lay there for awhile and read or play a video game or watch a cartoon or something before I actually turn the light out. It’s like half of me wants to go to sleep but the other half wants to stay up.

There have been a ton of things going on around here lately. I’ve been busy with spring cleaning and stuff. Been trying to whip our house into some kind of shape. My grandparents are coming to visit this Saturday, and then my cousins are coming in June. Can't wait!

Other than that, it’s felt like summer around here. UGH!!! Hot and miserable and restless, sweaty nights in bed. I can’t wait until fall and winter get here.

It’s like the Super Bowl for Transfans!

So Saturday was total epicness. FINALLY, after waiting since July of last year… the Transformers Animated season 3 premiere arrives! Phew! There I was… almost shaking with excitement as I ran my tape back and stuck a disc in the DVD recorder, preparing to watch and transfer it to dvd. I was squealing inside as I watched the title come on and the Transformers theme music begin to play. It was the moment I had been waiting SO long for! Finally, I was going to have answers to my questions.

And… it… was… worth… the… wait.

Before long, I was acting somewhat like one of those insane sports nuts watching the Super Bowl. Gasping and nearly going into tears every time someone got hurt, cheering the side I favor (Which happens to be both, actually. So I dunno how that works, honestly.), and being shocked beyond reason whenever there was a major revelation in the plot.

Yeah, I’m a hopeless fangirl.

I was greatly saddened at the loss of one of the characters. Although, I’m not going to count him as being totally dead yet until the end of the season. A lot can happen between now and then.

I’m not gonna give out any spoilers (no, I’m not that type of person. So you can relax and take your cursor away from the back button).

After the show, comes the chatting and rambling and the “Ohmygoodness, did you see it???” that clogs up the Internet lines for hours (maybe even days or weeks) and makes non-fans look at us weird. As I suspected, Deviantart was flooded with excitement when I signed on that night. It’s safe to say that spoilers are flying in all directions over there. I pity the poor people who haven’t had a chance to actually see it yet. I, myself, have been chatting non-stop with my friends about it. I think we should have gotten together for a tailgate party.

I so cannot wait until this coming Saturday!!

Begins with a Star and ends with a Scream

“Staaaaaaaaaaarscream!!!!”

I don’t know why, but I can hear Megatron shouting out that famous line at ear-piercing levels right now.

Lately I’ve been really addicted to Starscream. lol! What? Don’t look at me that way. It’s true. YES!! I’ve become a Starscream fangirl! I’ve fallen into his trap! What is it about this ornery robot?? Every Transformers fan that’s female LOVES Starscream. And the guy fans look at us like we’re nuts. At first I couldn’t see what was so special about him, but now….. I’ve fallen for him too. lol! There’s just something about him that’s addictive and it’s hard to explain. I can’t seem to get enough of him. My favorite version of him has to be the Transformers Animated one, followed closely by the original G1 version. I really like the Armada one too.

But the strange thing about it is Starscream seems like a character that would easily rub you the wrong way and get on your nerves, yet we love him to pieces. To sum up his character and personality: he acts like an overgrown spoilt brat who thinks he’s better than everyone else and should get everything he wants. He’s got a huge ego problem. If he can’t get his way, he’ll get it by any means necessary. It wouldn’t surprise me if he actually threw a tantrum in one episode. He’s a lying, traitorous, sneaky, greedy, rebellious, disobedient, mean Decepticon who’s starved for attention. He acts tough, but he’s a coward underneath. He hates Megatron’s insides to no end and wants to assassinate him and take over as leader. However, every time he attempts getting rid of Megatron it always backfires on him in some way. He tends to be one of those characters that has the hardest time doing anything and comes out looking like a fool and being more of a comedy relief. For some reason I think of Donald Duck’s theme song when I see Starscream, “Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?”. Haha!!

I dunno. I find him to be an interesting and fun character. You want to feel sorry for him and smother him in hugs and kisses and pamper him (at least us fangirls do), but at the same time you know that everything that happens to him is brought on him by himself. So when it all comes down to it, he always gets what he deserves. Although, I do feel so sorry for him. All he needs is a friend.

Yes, we all love the Screamer.
