i kinda like...but that's all

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2009)

Let me first tell you, i was a huge fan of the first movie. even so the plot was horrible, the movie was very entertaining. I like the actors and their dialogs. And since i am a true and loyal Hans Zimmer fan, i of course, loved the score of his student Steve Jablonsky.
So after all i was looking forward to see ROF. I was hoping for some new music themes, and i thought maybe we can find a plot this time.
Well it actually didn't turn out to be like that. The plot is just... i dunno. It just makes no sense. I mean why would Sam give a piece of the All Spark, he suddenly finds, give to his girlfriend. ? I mean why?? There is no reason. It just makes no sense. The Action is OK. Of course the CGI is amazing, but what does it do good, when you just don't get anything of it, because it is too fast, too much, and too big?!?! The Jokes are funny. But In order to laugh about them, you must be able to forget, they are telling a story what should make some sense. If you can forget that, then you can laugh about the jokes. What really pisses me is the score. I don't know what their problem was. whether they didn't want to spend more money on the soundtrack or is it because Steve was lazy, i don't know. But not only that there is no new score in it (like it was in the pirates of the Caribbean - each film new themes), they didn't even really use the old score.
The first 2 hours i was waiting for the "big scenes". You know, great action, great score - just like in the first movie. But then i had a dejavu and i realized - it wont get any better. So i want to share this moment with you. I didn't believe it.
You've all seen the first movie? OK. remember during the first hour, when the deltas are in the desert, attacked by a scorpion transformer, and then they send the air attack. You see the pilots running to their planes (great shot by the way) and Steve Jablonsky with his brilliant score. Just enter Scorpnok at youtube and you will find the scene within 20 sec. Anyway, you will see a scene with the same structure, the same desert, the same score, and the same shot of the pilots running to their planes in ROF. Except, the scene in ROF is not so long as the original.
At that point i realized, they don't have nothing new to offer.
I wasn't bored, i liked it, but i was just expecting a way better movie than that one.
