Nothing But Grins and Tears from Me...

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2009)

I saw the first movie on my 21st birthday. It was the best day ever. I loved it so much, it was the kind of movie i wanted to see and Bay gave me what i wanted, a mindless popcorn flick for pure entertainment. When i heard the new movie was being made, i got excited.
Eventually some time after its release i went to see Revenge of the Fallen. And i must say i was not disappointed.
Now i was not expecting a thrilling story, with a deep plot and characters who try to win you over. I merely went to see this movie for 'entertainment' purposes and thats exactly what it did for me.
Sure there was a lot going on, some characters i would have liked to see more of and to get to know (i.e Sideswipe, sideways, jolt etc.), the pace was very fast too switching from locale to locale, however this didn't bother me and i was able to keep up fine.
Now i said before i Grinned and Cried during this movie, yes i did, it moved me. The reason for this is the score provided and the pictures which sync'd with it. One of my favourite pieces of music is Arrival to Earth from the first score. When i heard this when optimus first arrived, skydiving, i had a huge smile on my face with excitement, i was finally watching the movie i waited so long for. I cried when optimus decided to take on all 3 decepticons in the forest and died, i cried when optimus was brought back to life and smiled when he combined with Jetfires parts.
For a movie to make me smile and feel so good like that, its worth me going back again to see it, i also look forward to getting the DVD. I just want to say thank Mr Bay, you gave me the movie i wanted to see, it entertained me so much, it has really brightened my day. :)
Looking forward to Part 3 :D
