Transformer the movie

Never really a transformer fan myself, it was part of my child's routine to watch this, along with many others like He-Man: The master of the Universe, Silverhawk, Thundercats and the likes... then later it evolves to Baja Hitam, Robotech, then onwards to Initial D, slamdunk with now a loyal fans of hentai..... *cough* anyway, transformer wasn't really my cup of tea, those blocky robots aren't anywhere as cool as Gundam and Macross anyway, but 2 weeks ago my perception changed.


It was on GSC at Pacific 2 weeks ago, have to say this is by far the best movie I've seen for 2007. I did not read any review and critic's comment before going, and I was purely expecting a skirmish type of engagement fight between Optumus and Megatron with the typical "You slap me, I slap you back" kind of battle, what started out in the first 10 minute is just simply amazing, Qatar airbase got pawned by just 1 Decepticon unit to oblivion...


The aircraft used in the movie is also quite sentimental as there are the latest air force F-22 Raptor, the symbolic AC-130H with an integrated howitzer artillery piece used during Afghanistan & Iraq war, and the cute A-10 Thunderbolt II, which was my all time favourite. Most of the aircraft does not show in any major film and their appearance really make the DVD worth getting :)


So therefore not all anime --> CGI animation movie sux, this one definately spells exception. Overall this movie deserve a 9/10 rating with good action, plot and casting all together. It wouldn't be surprise if this made it to some of the nomination later.

GSC or Mega Cineplex Megamall Penang (MCMP) has no much difference.

Please don't pick on the small thing.

Next time when you are a Marine Force Recon, you spotted a Crocodile Sherman hiding behind the bushes, but you inform your commanding officer that it is a M10 Wolverine tank destroyer. So your CO decided to sent in grenadiers. And they all become barbeque.

morale of the story: Little difference matters.

Pls don't take it too harsh, its just a name, in certain part of the world people call Daihatsu Charade, and a Cuore in Japan and a Viva in malaysia...

Ultimate morale of the story: Name does not really count, its the initial projected idea that matters

A simple name does do a great mean behind it.

When someone driving a RED charade with modified engine; he can presume it is ferrari Enzo with full of his own imaginary world BUT the fact is it still a DAIHATSU CHARADE.

Morale in cents, NAME do tell something.

Neebs.
