Revenge Of The Fallen Criticized For Hip-Hop Twins

Seems like there are some Transformers fans not too happy about Skid and Mudflap. E! Online gives the following description for the Autobot twin in “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”:

[..] over-the-top, hip-hop-inspired vernacular and stereotypically black-sounding voices are, at best, racially and culturally insensitive and, at worst, grossly ignorant and offensive.

However, this may not be the worst to come from “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. Stay tuned to find out why.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, Go Watch It! June 24th, 2009

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, Go Watch It!

If you haven’t watched “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, you’re wasting your time. There are some moments where it seems Micheal Bay is trying too hard to connect with the younger audience by giving some of the Autobots a very stereotypical ebonic voice. Micheal, if you’re trying to upset the minorities you’re starting to get there.

There is a Decepticon character that may have created just for the movie, however, I’m not really sure. I’m not going to spoil the movie for you so you might as well watch it to figure out who I’m talking about.

One nice thing about this sequel is that there are a lot of Autobots and Decepticons but it’s hard to say if you can recognize all of them by the time the movie ends.

All in all, if you’re a hardcore Transformers fan you’ll definitely want to watch it. If not, it’s still a good movie. It’s definitely worth the $10.

(Naruto also appears in poster form in the scene in the dorm room when Sam enters the room filled with girl pics so keep an eye out for that!)

Naruto Shippuuden: Kizuna (Bonds) contains spoilers! April 30th, 2009

Naruto Shippuuden: Kizuna (Bonds) contains spoilers!

Probably my favorite movie from the series! Its action packed and has lot’s of humor it starts of with a waterfall where we see Sasuke take a bath and he uses his Chidori on the waterfall. It cuts to a scene where we see Shinobi in preparation of an attack as they fly over the mountains over a small village we then see Konoha being attacked by the Shinobi they turn out to be the sky country. They were defeated by Konoha during the great second ninja war after they challenged the five great ninja countries. They have the ability to fly by using a wing like contraption once fused with chakra or rather coating it. No one in Konoha is a match for their aerial abilities and is pretty much laid to waste but a mysterious doctor by the name of Shinou saves most of the villagers. Naruto is tasked by the doctor to bring a patient to the hospital where he meets up with Amaru a girl who is the pupil of the doctor, who collapses from exhaustion after searching for Shinou.

Dragon Ball Evolution Review by Yusuke! April 10th, 2009

Dragon Ball Evolution Review by Yusuke!

Well let’s get it out in the open, as a movie it’s not bad but for a Dragonball movie it’s an epic fail. It sucked!!! Here are some of the following reasons

  • Goku has never been to high school.

  • They never mentioned that he’s a Saiyin (But this might be explained in the next movie, he never knew in the regular Dragonball either so I’ll give them the benefit of doubt).

  • They made Goku weak as hell, plus where is the tail??

  • He’s supposed to transform every full moon, not just on a blood moon, and not just as a seven foot tall ape.

  • Since when does Piccolo control a Saiyin? He’s from Namek!!!

  • It’s Shenron not Shinlon, the dragon is supposed to talk.

  • Where are Krillin and Kami???

Yamcha is not a blond he has black hair; Bulma has silver purple hair.

Also Chi-chi and Goku have been together since they where six. Oh and the Kamehameha is not air bending, it’s a Ki attack; it’s energy not wind for Christ sake. I could go on and on but it’s not worth seeing if you’re a Dragonball fan. If you like action movies then go right ahead you’ll probably like it!

So in conclusion America next time you get a great Japanese property and try to go make a movie out of it, make sure to stay true to your source material so you don’t look like morons butchering good material.
