Everyone, even if you are not a fan, must watch TRANSFORMERS because it is fucking awesome. One of the best, if not, the BEST MOVIE this year.

mr elfian, i let u watch the movie and do the review yeah. cause i have no words to describe it except for fucking awesome.

Well I did like the first instalment of the Fantastic Four. Individual brilliance, but yet having to work as a team, coz in a way, they are still not strong enough on their own. No doubt, the star of the show has got to be Human Torch.

After seeing all the cool trailers, when the emergence of the Silver Surfer through that building, accompanied wif silence but the ringing of a bell, this is movie should be worth watching just for that silverman himself. And seeing the statue of the SS at GV Marina, created more hype.

Being the easily pleased, Im loving this movie. All four fantastiches are back at their best, this franchise from marvel is definitely marketed as a family movie. Throughout the movie, it is peppered wif friendly laughter and jokes (albeit most times it gets to cutesy and irks me. And what is wif marvel getting its characters in funny dance moves?). Not too violent also, no blood was spilled (cept for Jessica Alba's nosebleed, but who wont get one upon seeing her?)

So Mr Fantastic is getting hitched to Invisible Woman. Now now, why did Jessica have to go dye her hair? It juz felt so wrong, and wif those blue eyes and blue make-up, i preferred her as she was in part one. Apparently, not sure what the hell Mr Fantastiche is thinking, the wedding has been put off countless times. I mean, for all his sciency mind and all that, who'd put off a wedding to Jessica? And that is big news among the paparazzis, even eclipsing the news of freak weather reports of snow in Egypt and frozen seas in Japan. And donut craze in S'pore. (ok the last one is not exactly freaky weather, juz freaky). Intelligence Services (aka Big Brother aka Brother Love) have images of a man surfing in space. Must be having one helluva ride that surfer. So the FF were called upon for National Service (upon such notice, no 3 months grace period for recall order) to investigate. And lo and behold the Silver Surfer decide to fly by the wedding event, creating chaos and panic. Watch how The Thing cooly stands in the way of the helicopter's blades.

Johnny Storm was deployed to pursue the surfer dude, and the, hmmmm, flying chase? is my favorite part of the movie. Upon contact wif the Pelayar Perak, Johnny's molecules went all loco on him and his powers seemed transferable. As in the comics, Silver Surfer is a herald to Galactus, the planet eating chompster. As a sacrifice for his world not to be destroyed, he offered his services to Galactus, ala a male escort. And Silver Surfer's job scope is to find planets to be devoured by his master breakfast lunch and dinner, and other ad hoc duties as deemed appropriate by his superior. So he goes to planets, and his passing by anyplace creates havoc in the molecules department and that mumbo-jumbo.

And from the first part, we knew Dr. Doom is not dead (oh c'mon dont tell me you didnt see that coming?). He was stored somewhere in Labia, errm, i mean Latvia. His encounter wif the Silver Surfer, where he gets an Aduken of his life, sets up an unlikely combination when the FF have to work side by side wif Dr Doom. Apparently the job of destroying Silver SUrfer has also been sub-let to Dr Doom. Oh sneaky sneaky the government is. According to Dr Doom's analysis (not Shebby Singh), the Silver Surfer gets his powers from his board. Not that is a board Ripcurl, Billabong and Quiksilver have yet to make. So to stop Silver Surfer, separate him and his board.

So instead just hammering Silver Surfer silly, some science mumbo-jumbo is needed. And the formula is orchestrated by both Dr Doom and Mr Fantastic. Silver Surfer eventually gets separated from his board, and he is taken to prisoner in somewhere the Geneva Convention is not practised. So yea, he gets a good beating from a funny looking guy who seems harmless and a yes-man to his wife. And voila, the surfboard was hijacked by Dr Doom, and he tries to surf the ride of his life.

Watchout for the twist in the ending. And the FF ride is unveiled here, officially pimped and sponsored by Dodger. And im amazed how strong Invisible Woman has become. The forcefield she controls, is able to hold the London eye. That was awesome. Oh yea, Invisible Woman's yearning to lead a simple life becomes the side-plot of the movie. Oh, also keep a lookout when the Silver Surfer evades the first missile. Uber cool. And the usual Stan Lee cameo. That is always the highlight of every Marvel movie.

All in all, this gets 4.5 out of 5 Char Kueys yea. Superrrr Fantasticheee.
