The Fallen September 3, 2010 Benjamin Roussey This soundtrack, like the first, did not have the great instrumental that we heard in the movie. Why cannot it have both, the cool songs like Linkin Park for instance, but not the superb instrumental? Disappointing.
Green Day has a great song on a pro-American, pro-military, un-politically correct movie. I wonder if they realize that.
Great buy! September 2, 2010 TheRosenbergers 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great condition, came faster then estimated, and was worth every penny. Thanks for being an honest and reliable seller!
Transformers II from Lotus games August 31, 2010 billyponcho 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
When purchasing a DVD it would be helpful to know that it has no cover artwork, as a consumer that would have changed My decision to purchase. The company did ship promptly.
Transformers "revenge" August 22, 2010 K. Can (PA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This film relies heavily on the special effects of the transformers & the sex appeal of Megan Fox. My kids love the transformers and as far as movies for the kids... it is entertaining... PG13.
Oh, for the love of Pete! August 21, 2010 R. Goldberg (Fern Park, FL USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Forgive this departure. There are enough trenchant opinions of the film that mine will ring hollow. Briefly, I enjoyed this silly, overproduced, over the edge and at times over the limits film. I liked it in much the same way I enjoyed that Matthew Broderick version of "Godzilla" - there was nothing that stood in the way of just letting the thing be what it was. I found the first one, thin story notwithstanding, to be most enjoyable, and the effects shots to be some of the most beautiful I'd ever seen. I stared at a 37" screen in a Sam's Club, having had no intention of seeing "Transformers," with tears in my eyes at the lyrical beauty and depth of the visual effects. "Revenge of the Fallen" was a lesser film in that respect: the editing was so frenetic at times that one didn't have a chance to really study the beauty of the shots (I guess that's what slo-mo is for). But it was a good-natured film, and John Turturro's burlesque turn was worth the price of admission, especially if you knew his Pacino-esque interp in the first film. Suffice it to say I found it a fun romp with plenty of room for popcorn.
What I can't understand is this subculture of reviewers who seemingly take near-ecstatic joy in tearing a film to shreds. I see it all the time with Shyamalan films, which I invariably enjoy for their metaphoric content and soft poetry. Roger Ebert called the effects in "The Last Airbender" "atrocious." What an outrageous statement; they were groundbreaking and gorgeous. An article in Computer Graphics World magazine was mindblowing in describing how things were done, but before that I found the work with the elements to be beautiful, convincing, properly stylized, operatic, and visually uplifting. Yet all Night Shyamalan has to do is make a movie and people are lined up around the block to parade their critical faculties and prowess of the pen, lambasting it within an inch of its life.
We're all entitled to our opinions, of course, and a forum of this type exists to provide the opportunity to share them. But when I see the near Industrial Revolution energy brought to the task of excoriating what is, after all, merely a fun, popcorn movie, I am bemused to say the least. It's a Michael Bay! If you don't know by now what that means, do more research! :) It's like the people who called the hideous "Doctor" Laura Schlessinger in a time of great emotional need, expecting therapy, and getting skinned alive. For a time, I felt sorry for them, but that passed. They knew who and what she was before they called, after all. If you intend to see (much less buy) "Revenge of the Fallen," make sure you like wildly overdone action, can briefly eschew subtle characterization, and don't mind just having a good time - even if that good time is laughing your fanny off at a film that you don't relate to. But it ain't cholera, people!
