Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation#2
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Movie Apaptation #2 from IDW press by Simon Furman and Jon Davis-Hunt is a typical adaptation o any blockbuster, short, action-packed, yet not heavy on plot, nor sense. The artwork fell flat, and as far as characters from the movie originally went, they are pretty unrecognizable. I couldn’t tell the difference in nearly any panel in Sam from his friend. The transformers are loosely rendered, and as far as their shape shifting action goes–I can’t say its anything impressive on page. Maybe the bots are destined for big screen magic only as the adaptation falls far short of any prestigous mark. Overall I’d give this book a four out of ten. It’s a weak movie marketing tie-in at best and would not serve to replicate seeing the film in person. I’d say wait for the dvd rental and watch the bonus features instead of seeing the film in theatres, then buying the adaptation. I’ve seen far better come from IDW, hopefully this is the not the sign of things to come from the new house of ideas. For more new reviews see http://www.comicbookjournal.net/category/reviews/
