So, as i am NOT supposed to touch computer now, but i really am tired of doing chemistry, hell the fact is i am having holidays but i am still brainstorming my mind with chemistry just for the sake of my tuition students, argh, i guess teacher simply equivalent to no holidays. duh~ Nevertheless, its the path i chose, gotta just endure it, :) (don't get me wrong, i do like teaching and tutoring, :P)
So, i finally got my eyes on T3! Yay~ I watched it on last week Wednesday, precisely a week after the official release. People asked me, why watch it such late? Because i don't like to watch with so many people that you just feel like you are suffocating of excessive concentration of carbon dioxide and also not to mention noise pollution by toddlers or even babies! So, i always try to avoid the peak hours, for example 7pm or 9pm movie time; those two session are the worst i tell you! (from my own experience of working in a cinema before.)
SO, T3, despite that i don't really like to watch 3D due to the annoyance of an extra specs on top of my own specs (yea, i do wear one), i decided to watch T3 in 3D. RM15, not a cheap one, luckily its Wednesday aka Movie Day, i was silently wishing that it better be worth for such expensive price else i will surely bang my head against the wall. Truth is, right when the show started, i know it is worth. Man, the metals, the guns, the ships, the bombs, its so real! I remember the scene when Lieutenant Colonel William Lennox (casted by Josh Duhamel,
my favorite in T-series, XD) and his boys glided from air to the land of Chicago, it is such real that i felt like putting my hand up to grab them, its like they are just flying in front of me, like a housefly though. T.T
Overall, i like T3, although the battle scenes of Autobots and Decepticons DID decrease as compared to T1 or T2, which T2 was the highest number of battles, still it is a good one; didn't fail my expectation. Now, people complaining that they rather to have more metal-clash-metal instead of tiny little Homo sapiens running here and there in the show of T3. Well as i said, i know how it feel that you do not really see much robots battles, and heck Optimus Prime
kinda like get cut-off the scene (yea, he just simply came out to save Sam, duh), still it is the war of between Earth and the end-the-Earth Cybertons. So of course, there got to be more scenes regarding the humanity instead, else, it won't be a need to bring up the whole thing of summoning Cybertron to Milky Way and of course not to mention to enslave the humans. So, just like what Optimus said to Sam, "now the war is yours". As you can see from these two points, its pretty much understandable that why more scenes of Homo sapiens instead; and i don't mind to have more scenes of Josh Duhamel though, aka Lt. Colonel Lennox. :P
Another thing would be the most debated key, substitution of Megan Fox with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. To the Megan Fox's fans, they simply see this as a defame to T-series; seriously the way they commented, its pretty much like the whole T-series stands just because of Megan Fox. Okay, she is pretty, so what? Its the Autobots that i am more interested in instead of worrying about two sexy ladies? Now, some said Carly (casted by Rosie HW) is not as pretty as Megan Fox; especially the mention of the thick lips. However, to me, which really not knowing how to comment on the beauty of girls, i kinda like Carly instead of the Fox.
I mean, before this, both in T1 and T2, to be honest, Megan Fox didn't manage to put down a great impact in my memory, except the booty scene at the motorcycle?
However, Carly managed to capture some part of my memory, most clear one would be when she was standing in front of Megatron and deceived him to attack Sentinel Prime, now that's something. Its angelic, i tell you, No doubt to that. Anyhow, Megan or Rosie, not that important to me, most important to me is the Autobots, Decepticons and Josh Duhamel, XD
Okay, what about the plotting? I can only say, breathless. Seriously, you don't have any chance to breathe aka get out of the hall to get a pee or something; but i do realize that many left the hall about 30 minutes to 1 hour of the show. Not sure what's the reason but a good guess would be they felt very dizzy.
Why? Because the robots and bombs and rockets were like flying here and there that you sure felt the dizziness; even i felt it too, but hey, be strong, make sure that you have eaten before you get in that 3D hall, and have a great night sleep, and most importantly you do not feel anything particular before going in; a MUST DO STEP. Okay, the plotting, yes, mix with the actions, the musics, the digital cutting, everything just keep the show going, it just keeping me hooked that you do not feel like doing anything but watch. It gave me goosebumps every here and there to, and some more i was holding my pee after 1 and a half hour of the show, still i sat through the end despite that i was trembling because of cold and the urge to pee. Its worth anyhow, because i didn't miss anything. As for my friend, she didn't manage to bite even once for the tart that i buy, she said, "No time eating!" Believe or not? Up to you. :P
Sadness? Yea, my most favorite Ironhide is dead. R.I.P Ironhide.
Now, some did debate that why Ironhide has to be dead? Well the answer actually is also quite simple. Sentinel is going to betray Autobots, so what's the best scene to initiate the hatred of the gang of Sam and Optimus toward Sentinel? What's the best scene to trigger the revenge spirit of a leader to avenge his subordinate? Nothing will do better other than somebody dies, especially somebody that means something ever since T1. So eventually, there are few to choose among, Ironhide, Rat-Chet, BumbleBee and Jazz;
since Jazz died in T1, that left with Ironhide, Rat-Chet and BumbleBee.
Seriously, are you going to nail BumbleBee out of the action for the rest of T3 scenes? Ironhide dies around 30~40minutes of the movie, that means you still have a 65% of the show to go, certainly nailing BumbleBee won't be a good choice. What bout Rat-Chet?
Err, do you really get any big impact from him back in T1 and T2 other than he sorta like the medic autobot and assit. of Optimus? To be honest, i don't. So, we are down to Ironhide; pretty much the reason he is to be dead. T1, he was a warrior there. T2, have to mention that he was just in the first scene, and Josh Duhamel pet him! So, anymore reason to NOT die him in T3? Okay, some will ask, why not dies some other autobots, why must be Ironhide or why must be the core? Well, core is the core, they are from T1. Furthermore, if i were to nail Dino, the red sporty car right just get the chance in T3 to show up, will you have the feeling?
Pretty much is a no. Or i nail out Sideswipe, one of my likey too,
perhaps there will be a bit of feeling, since Sideswipe proved to be one of those that managed to capture the audience's heart, but won't as strong as Ironhide. So, what to do? R.I.P Ironhide. Have to say, director Micheal Bay made a great choice in this, trust me i don't like Ironhide to die too, but choosing him is the best option.
SO, generally, this movie is a good one, sad that there won't be any other follow up after this, but glad that finally i watched it, and satisfied. :) Rating? 4.5/5!
Before i end this post, let's Duhamel a while~
