Transformers 1,weather you loved it or hated it,you still wanna see the follow up that is Transformers:Revenge Of The Fallen.After the great success of Transformers,Micheal Bay had to do another one,to see how long people would stay interested in this kind of movie.Some people say it was just too much,too much of everything.Was it?Did Bay ruing the movie Transformers,well you are about to find out right now.
The Actors:Following the same principal character played by Shia LaBeouf,who i think was very good in this movie,very believable in each scenes.Micheal Bay did a great job picking him as principal character since Transformers 1.Megan Fox rated sexiest woman of the year doesn't disappoint a bit,since this is not a down to earth movie,the acting doesn't need to be perfect cause that's not what were watching,were just watching to be entertained.But yes Megan Fox does also a great job.(I found her lips a little too big in this movie,playing it "a la Angelina Jolie",but it doesn't match her,in my opinion.).Josh Duhamel & Tyrese Gibson did a good job in the first one,and also does a good job in this one.John Turturro only appears at the end but he does bring a new good angle to the acting in the movie.Ramon Rodriguez was okay,he look like an annoying guy,i found him stupid,but that was his role so...Kevin Dunn & Julie White playing Sam's parents were really good,a great couple,acting on point.This movie had many known features but those actors were the principals.
The Plot:Following the same story as the first one.The idea was good,not crazy but good.The people complaining that this movie was too long (150 min),it couldn't have been shorter,it was impossible to put everything in less than this time for us to understand the story.Me i think that the movie continued flowing well,it didn't go to fast,or too slow.The movie just kept advancing non-stop,now if your brain is slow and you need more time to understand,that is your problem,but you can say that you couldn't understand the story,it was very simple.
The Directing:Micheal Bay is a great director,we all know that.Transformers one,you can't deny it,was one of the best entertainment movie in a long time.The robot were believable and on point,this is for Transformers one and two.The camera moves were also on point although sometimes he did too much of his signature move that is the "360 camera shot",when i mean too much,I'm saying he was doing some "1080 camera shot".It was just a waist of time.But it seems Micheal finished the series with this one,i don't know if it's gonna end like this,but i think he milked the cow to its last drop with this movie,for everything the story,and the fighting.It just was over the top,that nothing can top it anymore.We see it all in this movie,from the minor explosion to the titanic meltdown (you'll understand when you'll see the movie).
The Score/Soundtrack:Keeping the same great score as the first one,it doesn't disappoint,easy to listen too,and gets you hype really well for the action that's about to happen.The soundtrack,there wasn't that many songs,except those coming out of Bumblebee's mouth but they were undeniable classic songs.
All Of It:So after seating 3 hours for the movie,than at least 30 minutes to write this review,how much do i give it?I give it an 7.5/10.I gave an 8.5 to the first one.So depending on how much you give to the first one,this one is impossible to be higher than the first one.Just because of the fact that the milked the cow to much,there was too much of everything,This is worth for the Theartre only because of the action,but if you have nothing to do and you have an 50 inch screen,then you can rent it for a great popcorn Saturday night.
From what I've seen in the trailer,I was surprised.The Hangover,i was truly surprised because i was expecting it to be the Stupid/Funny type movie,but this one was different.
The Actors:Bradley Cooper,Ed Helms,Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha,they all played well,and because there not that famous of actors,that's what made the movie even better.
The Plot:Like i said,this movie was surprising.When i saw the trailer,i thought this would be another drunk/stupid movie.But when you actually watch it,the plot is really good,basic from the trailer,but the movie holds it together very well.There wasn't plot holes,and if they were,they were minors.And there's not that many of jokes,but when they are the pretty good.This isn't the stupid movie that 13 years old kids try to sneak in,this is better.
The Directing:Well there was no effect and all that,but the filming was very good.The place they choose to film also.Nothing to complain
All Of It:I give this movie an 8/10.This wasn't the comedy of the year,agreed,but it does bring out laughs from you.It is a good story to follow,this is like any other movie except with the different type of jokes.But i wouldn't recommend it on theater.The big screen doesn't change much,but a great Saturday rental.
The release of the first Blackout! proved to everyone that Method Man & Redman are one of the dopest rap duo ever. Unfuckwithable, they deliver on every beat, even the ugly ones. The flow, the style, the rhymes, the wordplays all are insanely well done. They complete each other. Blackout! is undoubtedly a classic album, but can they bring back the good old times with Volume 2 or did they change style? Let's find out.
The album starts with an intro titled BO2 (Blackout 2). The beat is smooth, laid-back but fucking raw at the same time. That's what I like about them, they can make a track that's totally different from the mainstream. I find this song crazy and it's only the first one.
I'm Dope N**** follows. Their flow sounds like a 2009-version of Da Rockwilder only laid on a different beat. The track goes fucking hard with Dr. Dre-like piano hits. Dope.
The first single A-Yo features Saukrates and is produced by Pete Rock.The beat is so fucking cool, you can feel it inside you. Redman starts on the mic perfectly. The chorus is a little too much with Saukrates singing but Meth brings it back perfectly with his cool, laid-back voice. Still, the more you listen to the chorus, the more it becomes chill. Just a smooth song to listen to.
A-Yo MUSIC VIDEO
Dangerous MCs' beat is just... DANGEROUSLY CRAZY!!!! Red starts again flawlessly. That Rocky line at the end of his verse closes it perfectly. Then, Meth simply kills the mic. They both perfectly fit on the beat even though they have different flows.
Errbody Scream features Keith Murray. I thought this would be the crazy type song. Oh no, this is the jumpy one. The kick, bass and claps just make you feel cool and relaxed. Red kills the mic first. The beat changes for the chorus, gets a little dimmer and slower, and goes back dope. Keith Murray comes on naturally on the second verse, just cool and jumpy. Then, Meth easily buries the mic.
Hey Zulu's beat has a phat African voice saying Hey Zulu. This track sounds like a dope little freestyle. Red starts again. The beat and the rapping both go hard non-stop. Fresh track fo' sho'.
City Lights, featuring Bun B, is the kind of track you listen to full volume on your balcony while singing the chorus. The chorus is insanely hot. All three rappers definitely bring their skills on the table. I can bang this track non-stop.
The beat of Father's Day is really laid-back but dope. Meth starts this time around a very good start of course. There's nothing really important in the chorus, some voices here and there. I found the way they bring back the rap with the oooooooooooooohhh really cool. Red comes hard no doubt. This track is dope.
A skit titled Mrs International precedes the song by the same name. We'll just skip to the song. This is the cool laid-back track for the ladies but this isn't a song like Lollipop, this is a song for the true ladies out there, not them street gold-digging girls. A song to listen to when you're with your girl.
How Bout That, featuring Ready Roc & Streetlife, is another BANGER that you blast on the radio. Red starts on the kicks then the claps appear and then the full beat clicks in. The beat is flawless. The flow insane. As usual, the chprus is dope, but I prefer the censored version because in the uncensored version, they say n**** but it doesn't quite fit. Ready Roc comes hard with some hard-hitting lines. He clearly makes you notice them by either having the beat stop for his punchlines or having someone echoing the line with some backing vocals. Stretlife's voice fit really well on the beat, so of course it's tight. Meth comes on and, once again, he goes and bury the mic at the cemetary.
Dis Iz 4 All My Smokers is up next. Damn, if this beat was sampled, then the sample is DOPE. The song sounds like a warning, like don't come out or you're gonna get killed, boy. Both rappers definitely killed the beat with their lyrical flow. The chorus is also dope. This song is just... dope. This track is just like weed, you gotta smoke it just like it says in the chorus.
The skit Lock Down is followed by Four Minutes To Lock Down which features Raekwon & Ghostface Killah. The beat is cool but grimmy at the same time dope. The "Oh God" voice in the background fits perfectly. Every single rapper on this track goes hard. Just by their names you know this song would be on top. There's nothing else to say except D.O.P.E.
Neva Herd Dis B 4's beat has a little techno sound. The snare was hard in this one - I found it a bit too hard. It sounded like the beat had too much noise even though it didn't. The lyrics/metaphors are on point in this one. It's probably the worst song of the album but that doesn't mean that it's bad. It's still cool.
I Know Sumptn, featuring Poo Bear, had a little reggeaton feel to it before switching to some African gangsta style. The beat kept switching from one style to the other, it was pretty cool. Red & Meth's flow is so unbelievable, it's crazy. Still, I truly didn't like the auto-tune in the chorus, it messed up the song. This track proves that Red & Meth can spit on any type of beat.
Last but not least is A Lil Bit featuring Melanie Rutherford. The non-stop kicks in the beginning get you ready for the track, then it starts. The girl sings while a robotic voice says a lil' bit. I find the idea quite similar to 50 Cent's "A Lil' Bit." Not the beat or the flow but the idea of a little voice in the background constantly saying a lil' bit. This song was average but listenable.
So, I give this album an obvious 9/10. With all the commercial rap we've been hearing those days, Red & Meth managed to bring back the 90's style. This album is dope from beginning to end, I never skipped a single song. Method Man and Redman are the dopest duo in hip hop, they complete each other perfectly. The lyrics, the beat, the flow, everything is always on point. They're NO JOKE. Blackout! 2 is definitely worth buying.
lol,my bad ,a mistake retyping...thanks for the comment,and yes if you didn't like the "Casino" don't go see this one,i'm not saying it was bad but there was too much hype for nothing.It was just another action movie,and they don't even use gadget anymore so you don't see nothing new compared to the other james bond.
LOL i'm not a hater,i'm actually a great T.I fans,i'm just saying he's done ten times better work before,he is turning like any other rappers,that what i hate,more RnB.If you tell me "whatever you like"isn't a rnb single,you're crazy.
just saying compared to his other albums this is disappointing.
i know me too i've seen a lot of bad review,but they only write bad reviews cause the ending was not so big as they expected but still the movie is worth the money,comparing to other worse movie that came out this year,that people wasted there money on.
