an honest review

Rating: 1/10 (27 June 2009)

First of all I have to admit that the graphics were outstanding, the movie over all wasn't boring and way better than the first one acting wise _except for this new character "Leo Spitz". However talking about huge production that coast $ 200 Million the movie had huge and unforgivable problems:  Michael bay is known for his action directing career, still in his previous movies (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor & the Island) he paid great deal of attention to the human side of the character which was totally missing here except for cheesy few lines here and there and it was mostly made by the Robots; for me Megan Fox's lines were non sense and unnecessary at all considering the situation they were in the movie especially the ending part.  It's amazing how a whole make up department which included around 8 people in charge didn't notice Megan fox's perfect make up and amazingly glowing lip glues through the movie!! What's up with the full make up through fighting a whole army of Aliens in the middle of the Egyptian desert?? Seriously?!!!  Egypt and Jordan scenes: where to start with that?!!! I'm an Arab, and it's a shame to say that the American cinema still portraits the Arabic countries as a huge Desert with few barbarians and camels here and there, not to mention the dump midget police man, the crappy Egyptian and Jordanian borders and the 5 minutes distance between Egypt and Jordan!!! What's the deal here, why all this conspiracy from huge production companies to manipulate the Arabic image along with the Arabic countries? It's 2009 now and I think a 6 years old kid would know the truth if he googled it!! Honestly; I blame both the Egyptian and the Jordanian governments for allowing such movies to be shot in their countries with out any knowledge of the story contains.
