TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN -- CRAPPIEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!

Good Grief! I had so much hope for "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen". The trailer for the sequel had me sold! I was excited when I walked into the cinema. But what a load of crap it turned out to be. There were moments when I felt like this awful film was going to drag me to hell!

The script was rotten -- the filmmakers wanted to introduce a new character (the Fallen) and they do this is the most clumsiest and dumbest way possible, to the point that no one gives a toss about the fallen.

Then, the film is strewn with crappy characters -- from the annoying room mate that Shia LaBeouf is forced to put up with to the torturous John Turturro with his equally idiotic spoutings. Worst of all has to be the "twin" autobots who are as irritating as (if not more than!) Jar Jar Binks from the hopeless Star Wars prequels.

The special effects were unremarkable.

A repeat viewing will show off all the flaws of the film even more!

I would recommend Sam Raimi's "Drag Me To Hell" over "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" any day!

Thanks goodness "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" looks promising.

TRAILER PARK: OH-MY-GOD! YUMMY TRAILERS FROM TRANSFORMERS-TERMINATOR-N-G.I.JOE

What a brilliant triptych of movie trailers I managed to lay my eyes on.

First, there was Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen. Not since the first The Matrix movie did my jaw drop so many times. The latest trailer shows us more -- and leaves us wanting more. All the transforming heroes return and the bad one is revived from under the ocean -- and drool-worthy new machines are introduced.

The story line appears suitably skewed towards action and what spectacular action it all looks set to be.

Then, I checked out the four-minute clip from Terminator Salvation. It is directed by McG who brought us the superb Charlie's Angels as a big screen adaptation (and brilliant re-interpretation) of the famous TV series. In his able hands, Terminator Salvation looks like it is going to be a riveting blast. The effects look spot on -- but more than that, the storyline (as sampled in the trailer) looks absolutely riveting. Man and machine and their gritty battles are going to grab everyone's imagination when this film opens.

Finally, I took a look at the G.I. Joe trailers and it looks like a solid-hit-in-the-making. The storyline and villain seem like predictable hash -- but the effects and stunts will leave fanboys delirious with excitement. The camera angles and choreography look amazing during action scenes

All together now: Hooray for Hollywood!

TRAILER PARK: TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN

WOW! The third and latest trailer for Transformers 2, direcetd by Michael Bay, has blockbuster written all over it! Can't wait for the film to open!

TRAILER REVIEWS -- A VERITABLE TRAILER PARK, FOLKS!

YUM... What can I say except YUM! indeed after watching a collection of movie trailers for upcoming movies. These trailers have appeared thanks to the American Super Bowl -- that annual mother of all American games -- when the best commercials and movie trailers are shown. We in this neck of the third world woods (which is being fast burnt down by illegal logging!) get to see this trailers thanks to the wonders of the Internet, of course.

Here's a quick verdict of the new movies....


STAR TREK.... This J.J. Abrams vehicle looks promising. The trailer is speed edited to look sumptuous -- the effects looks good, all the actors and actresses are hotties and the cinematography looks inspired. Can't wait for this to open!

G.I. JOE... Inspired by toys, this super-slick actioner looks like it has enough jaw-dropping moments to keep action lovers drooling in delight in the cinemas. Yes, we want our action fast 'n' furious -- and PUHLEASEEEEE spare us all the melodramas and just give us the goddam firepower and stunts to keep us happy! Oh, the scriptwriters and director obviously heard us, by the looks of things! Yay!!!!!

FAST AND FURIOUS... The new chapter with Vin Diesel back in the driver's seat is looking sizzling hot. Again, it is all about stunts, stunts and stunts (forget about that LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION drivel!). The trailer simply says, just sit back, fasten the seat belts and rev the engines boys! (and girls)

LAND OF THE LOST... That Will Ferrell is possibly the funniest man in movies (after Adam Sandler, of course!). Will Ferrell plays the most delicious overgrown immature types so well -- and he is no different here. He looks like he is a mentally stunted and slightly imbecilic scientist in this new sci-fi special effects movie and his over-the-top antics look set to bring out the laughter! The trailers has aliens, giant crabs and dinosaurs aplenty and excellent cinematography. The comedic timing also looks spot on. Bring it on Will Ferrell!

TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN... Good grief -- the trailer is so awesome that all you can do is sit and watch and hit the replay button over and over again. The trailer is so good you can eat it! More of the evil Transformers crash land (onto the mighty ocean faring carriers, no less!) on planet Earth to save their leader and the good robots look like they really do have their hands full this time around! That Shia LaBeouf looks all primed to carry this film -- and him being such a likable lad, this movie would do well on his very own drawing power alone! And if you add those majestic robots -- there's no way this Michael Bay film can do any wrong!

TRAILER REVIEW: TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN

Good Lord! The first Transformers film already totally had me hook, line and sinkers.

Now, having seen the trailer for the second Transformers film, I must say that the first thing I did was see the trailer over and over again more than 30 times straight! It gives such a satisfying fix. I am completely sold on the trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the sequel to the most excellent Transformers film -- both films star the likable Shia Labeouf.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen looks impressive, the action looks bigger and the direction looks superb. The sequel's trailer is simply Excellent!!!!!
And c'mon, admit it -- the tagline for the sequel, "Revenge of the Fallen", is so very very VERY cool and classy!
