Cute furry prehistoric mammals!!

My comparisons between two movies i watched one day after the other:Ice Age 3 and Transformers 2.

If you my dear reader,have not watched either of these 2,then id suggest,for a whole lot of reasons that you go watch.......ICE AGE 3! Nope my dear reader,its not a typo error.You read that right! Im actually suggesting you go watch furry mammoths and dumb sloths rather than big-ass robots rape the hell out of each other (And Megan Fox).

But why? How could the most anticipated block-buster of the year 2009,in my opinion,lose out to a seemingly modest sequel which didnt seem to excite the general public as much? How is it that the combined forces of Optimus Prime,Megatron,Bumblebee,and a whole host of giant robotic humanoids (Not to mention Megan Fox) lose out,in my opinion,to a bunch of cutesy prehistoric vertebrates?!

To the uninformed,Transformers 2 when first seen in trailers got the hormones of males (Megan Fox) and maybe a handful of females raging,as it was widely deemed the movie of the year to watch.

Sadly,my beloved reader,if you havent watched it yet,you are one of the rare few that has spared yourself 2.5 hours of your precious time,because,sadly to say,Transformers 2 was one of the BIGGEST disappointments in a movie i have watched in my 18 years on this planet.Apparently Michael Bay was playing safe,perhaps too safe or too predictable.After the monster success of the first movie (Which wasnt as bad as this one) i guess the title itself automatically meant a monster snowball of cash considering that people were in it JUST for the action (And Megan Fox).It couldve been a masterpiece,they shouldve kicked out Michael Bay (Not Megan Fox)and replaced him with a director who couldve placed in some DEPTH into the movie,heck,in fact,a whole lot of depth would have been very nice.Bleh~

Regardless,the movie was THAT shallow and the robots were more or less the whole reason to watch the movie (And Megan Fox).

ICE AGE 3 on the other hand,wasnt exactly the masterpiece either,but it had a clear straight-forward,non-nonsensical storyline and atleast a much better character development compared to their robotic counterparts.But the cream of this movie my friends,lies in the COMEDY,which to say the least,is nothing short of slap-on-the-lap funny.Even the subplot of the movie (Scrat the prehistoric squirrel chasing the acorn) was a much entertaining complement to the movie compared to *Cough*Megan Fox*Cough*

I mean seriously,the animation was good enough,and the characters were really cute!! The jokes were what got this movie standing on its feet.They were extremely lame and some were even smart but nontheless hilarious.If i had to watch a movie twice,id go for this one.*Hint*

So yeah,ICE AGE 3 atleast got the audience to laugh whereas Transformers 2 tries to stuff a barrel full of action into your head.Go watch Ice Age 3,do yourself a favour =)

On another note,i believe everyone deserves a chance,and that includes myself.Its unfair to block off someone when you havent seen him/her express herself the best way he/she can.People often dont try hard as much because they werent given the chance,sometimes it takes reaffirmation to truly open them up.Everyone deserves a chance..
