Made me Mad

Rating: 5/10 (17 October 2009)

I saw this movie the weekend after I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and they were both, by far, the most hyped up movies of the summer. Well if you've read my Harry Potter review, then you know my feelings towards that film. My feelings towards this one is perhaps even worse. In all fairness, I entered this movie with the promise that it was "even better than the Dark Knight" from one of my friends. The first thing that didn't make sense is the premise that the government somehow smoothed over the final scene in the last movie. It was one of the biggest cities in the world, packed with people. It is NOT POSSIBLE to erase a giant robot battle from every person New Yorks mind. I guess they borrowed the giant mind eraser that the men in black kept in their basement? The next thing I did not like was how they portrayed Megan Fox. SHES HOT, WE KNOW. The very first scene has her straddling a motorcycle, completely unnecessarily I might mention. But the thing that took the cake, that totally floored me, and made me openly laugh at the movie screen was when they find the old robots. You know the ones that were apparently hiding in Petra for billions of years and we did not notice. Forget all the research weve made on the place, we somehow missed three giant robots inside it. But no, the story didn't stop there, no, the director decided to take it one step further and say there was a giant ray gun in the pyramids of giza. You mean to tell me that one of the most studied and oldest structures in the whole world was actually made to house a GIANT LASER and we never noticed it? This movie is definitely not as bad as im making it sound, Im just venting the anger and exasperation that I fealt after I had to watch Harry Potter and this two weekends in a row. People should see it, but make sure they have 3 loooooong hours to spare (no joke it is about 2 and a half hours long). And I would not recommend, healthwise, that people should watch this and Half Blood Prince back to back.
