Movie review : Transformer The Revenge of The Fallen

THE much talked about sequel of the Transformer created quite hype in its early days of release. But the movie was kinda mixed bag in its overall presentation.

SHIA LaBeouf and Megan Fox ‘s charm has always been a positive point for the Transformer series. Superb special effects, sound and video editing adds more to this movie. But I guess Michael Bay went a bit too far by trying to show a bit of everything in it. Girl robot following Sam ( Shia LaBeouf ) in the college and trying to kill him in bed will certainly remind you of Terminator and Species series and this looked way out o sync. Towards the end the strange ( rather foolish ) sequence of Sam dying and then again coming back to life after taking order from seniors robots in somewhere in heaven ( or should I say heave-tronics??? ) mixed with some very old styled emotions made the movie dull towards the end.

DESPITE all these cons this movie is still good to watch “once” in some good theatre for it’s amazing action sequence and sound effects.

Movie Review: “GHAJINI”

A second grade MASALA movie – GAJINI killed MEMENTO

The much hyped movie of this year end. The house full presence at almost at Bangalore theatres reflected that fact. But this movie somewhat failed to impress me.

First of all it failed to keep the suspense of the movie. Though the story was crafted well and Aamir Khan’s acting talent is unquestionable the movie lacked practicality. This movie is a remake of the Tamil movie Ghajini which is inspired by 2000 Hollywood flick Memento, was a disappointment overall. The unnecessary songs, somewhat childish comedy results in a second grade Hindi masala movie which could have been a great psycho thriller. The original English movie Memento is a proof of that.

After movies like “Rang They Basanti” and “Jane Tu Yah Jane Na” the expectation was higher from Aamir Khan. He has certainly failed in that front.
