I recently read a hilarious kaobeikaobu-style “faq” that gathered and finalized the discrepancies throughout the movie, courtesy of kaobeikaobu master, Khoo
To be honest, I didn’t have a specific emotion towards the movie in general, it wasn’t fantastic like the first one, but it wasn’t horrible either. But I guess that was the huge issue.
The flow of the movie was plotted in such a way that the audience can’t connect to any of the characters (even the leads..) or to the storyline. There were too many characters, the plot went out-of-proportion and was scattered left right center with no specific focal point.
What did you (i mean the decision-makers of the movie) want to show us? In fact, at one climatic point of the story, I was pretty sure most audience could only focus on Megan Fox’s boobs bouncing enticingly in slomo.
If I could only have one major complaint though……it would be……what was up with the Devastator scene!!! The buildup and its appearance was almost as huge as the disappointment I felt on its downfall…………where is the good old-fashioned 10-15min long “david vs goliath-ish” battle that would end up in me cheering in my heart for the good to prevail again and for the strong and cool monster to go down.
While surfing randomly, I came across a nice DI of how an alternate Devastator could have looked like. Truer to its drawn counterpart……coool.
