What will be shall be

Movie Mania

The movie everyone has been talking about has finally screened around a week ago. If you don't know which movie I am talking about, well, you must have been dreaming for the past 1 month.

This movie, Transformers had been on the lips of almost everyone's mouth. Even in coffee shops you can hear the young fathers talking in enthuestisim to his son about the movie and planning to bring his son to the cinema to watch, though I suspect it's the father who is really more keen to watch it. I'm not surprised, considering the fact that these fathers were only young teenagers when Transformers stormed into the fantasy of everyone - except me.

I knew about the cartoon Transformers but I didn't know what characters this cartoon had and certainly never watch it on TV faithfully every time it's shown. I did told you before that I don't have much of a childhood. All I knew about Transformers is that they can transform themselves into vehicles and transform back into robots when there is a need to fight.

However, having watched the movie yesterday, I have to admit that the director Michael bay has done a brilliant job in bringing this childhood cartoon onto the large screen. I was pretty fascinated especially in the beginning of the movie when I saw the transform for the 1st time as I was expecting a lame attempt in its technical aspect.

Although I did fall asleep for a few minutes near the end of the movie when everyone was flying around and fighting with each other, that doesn't mean it fades out eventually. The reason was because I didn't really sleep much for the last few days prior to watching this movie and also because I was never a big fan of action packed movies. In fact most of my friends like the movie so much that they went to watch it the 2nd time. I will give it a 9/10.

There have certainly been a year of blockbusters and also a year of part 3s. Spider-man 3, Shrek 3, ocean's 13 and others more which have completed their trilogies. It seems that the only movie left worth expecting is Harry Potter.

Among the many blockbusters shown this year, I would say I am most disappointed in Spider-man 3. The cast seemed to have frizzled out compared to 1 and 2. The story is also quite disappointing. It seems to me that they are putting in all the villians into the movie in one go and expecting our Mr Spidey to take them all by himself. The only reason why this movie is still worth a little bit of mention here is because of my favorite Chio-bu, Kristen Dunst.

And of course my favorite movie is Ocean'13 as it's full of wit, humour and plenty of eye-candies, especially for the girls. I didn't like ocean's 12 at all. In fact it was so bad that I turned it off after watching Disc 1 on my VCD set. Ocean's 13 is quite similar to 11 in aspect of filming ideas and storyline and 13 is one movie which I wouldn't mind watching a 2nd time.
