Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Awful for fans of the original cartoon
I have to admit I am not part of the target demographic as I don't have any testosterone. I am a fan of the original cartoon, when I heard about the first one I was excited to see the autobots! But it was a bit too much with the human element and the military, what action movie doesn't entail the military these days.
The first one was a bore because it spent too much time on the human characters, the sexual tension was there for guys and nothing more.
OK, I went into the "revenge of the fallen" with mild expectations and it was bittersweet. I liked the fact that the autobots and deceptacons got more screen time. C'mon, this is a "Transformers" movie so expect a lot of robots and some action. There are a lot of big explosions, Peter Cullen who is the voice of Optimus Prime is really who carried this movie.
What I didn't expect was the crude sexual innuendos, profanity and utter lack of depth of the script. Apparently Michael Bay made this movie for males between teenagers, or the same target audience as "Step Brothers".
If you are a fan of the 80's cartoon go in with low expectations you won't be disappointed. I can't believe it has grossed so much money. Watch it when it's out on DVD, rent is the key word.
I can't believe I paid to watch this movie
The New Batman Adventures (1997)
Series started to go bad
First of all I must admit Batman: The animated series is the best batman series by far. We watched it when it used to be on TV. I didn't realize that there was a season four. Actually there wasn't. BTAS ends with season 3, and it should have stopped there.
Why did they have to mess with a good thing. Catwoman and Poison ivy now have terrible grey faces. The Joker looks beyond scary, it seems that each time they revise his appearance he looks more and more creepier. He doesn't seem to have pupils anymore, and now he doesn't even look remotely human (although he is).
Bruce Wayne is voiced by Kevin Conroy who does the best batman. Although he now looks like superman. There is nothing that sets him apart because they both look the same, Bruce Wayne now has blue eyes.
Night Wing really needs a haircut, please! Alfred just has pupils from eyes, looks more like a character from the 80's.
I have watched three episodes from Disc 1 in the series and I already find that this version is more violent and graphic (there is blood in every episode).
If you are a fan of Batman: The animated series, there is no batman season 4. They just included this series as season 4 for marketability. If they just released it as The New batman adventures I don't think as many people would have bought it.
Save yourself the disappointment and stick to seasons 1-3.
