2 great movies

'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and 'Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince' are definitely 2 most anticipated movie this year. Having watched the first transformers movie 2 years ago and I was totally impressed with the graphics, actions and special effects. No doubt there are several new additions to the movie, making the fighting scenes between the sworn enemies more exciting but too much of this actually made the movie confusing especially the final scene at Egypt, I couldn't really tell the Transformers from the Decepticons. The build up of the story was rather slow and draggy, causing it to be rather boring in the beginning. But the mind blowing action, heart warming love scene (between Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox) and occasional humors definitely made up for its weak plot. A movie worth watching, I'll give it 3/5.


Next up, would be my all time favourite movie the 6th addition to the Harry Potter series and I was one of the lucky few people who can catch it on its debut date 16th July. As usual the movie was slightly different from the novel, cant really expect the whole story to be told word for word in 154 mins right? On top of the usual magic fighting scenes, lots of romantic and hilarious scenes are added making the movie more interesting. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead with Draco Malfoy joining and carrying out orders of Lord Voldemort allowing the death eaters to enter Hogwarts. Draco cannot bring himself to kill the headmaster, even with the urging of fellow Death Eaters once they arrive. Snape (Half Blood Prince) arrives and kills Dumbledore, who was previously weakened after drinking the mysterious potion and battling Inferi during his pursue of the Horcrux. The scene when Dumbledore fell off the astronomy tower after being zapped by Snape's wand and the students and teachers gathering around Dumbledore's dead body with their lighted wand during his funeral was indeed the most saddening part of the entire movie. The ending was rather abrupt, but despite all that, this movie is a definite much watch 4/5.
