More Than meets the eye

During Friday night, Jian-Yong, Marcus, Wei Xin, Yat Hong, Yong Ken, Yu Beng and I went to 1U to watch Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. It was an okay film but I have mixed feelings towards the film. The special effects are great, showing a lot of details of the robots. We have the chance to see more robots fighting in the film. But the storyline isn't pleasing, things are never explained such as why Starscream having tattoos over his body, why Megatron is so dedicated to serve the Fallen and where is Wheelie at near the end of the film. There are quite many characters having less screentime and a few lines in the film such as Sideswipe, Sideswipe is a cool Autobot with a cool alternate mode but he only appear sometimes and he speak a few lines. And there are some characters are underused and having wasted potentials such as Devastator, Devastator is a freaking huge robotic behemoth that composes Constructicons (number of them are varies) and it has the chance to pawn the whole Autobot-human alliance just a finger flick. But no, the only big thing it does is smashing the peak of a pyramid to expose the Sun Harvester before being killed by a shot of a railgun. The character having the worst role in the film is Jolt, Jolt is a blue colored robot with electric weapons but having the least screentime in film, he only appeared some bits of a few scenes that nobody would notice him and the big thing he only does is helping Ratchet to upgrade Optimus Prime with parts of Jetfire and that's all. It is a letdown to people who have high expectation on this film and TF1 have better storyline than this film. But at least it is better than Dragonball. I hope TF3 will be a better sequel for the trilogy and the production team will learn their mistakes.
