Batman05 Non-Standard Userer	tss... i'm a custom installer of home theaters in Europe and we go every year for the last few years there (while it's a cinema industry show). Monday was Paramount day and Katzenberg was there for instance (dreamworks SKG), Seinfeld (his voice for the hero of Bee Movie, very funny, especially a clip of the movie team with Spielberg's son), watch out for Kung Fu Penda next year (jack black voice, very very funny). anyway, the movie is awesome and fortunately not all was shown in the trailers (while way too much shown for Die Hard 4). i want the 2008 Camaro !!! the crowd was very reactive and loved it, applauded several times, and note it was mostly people aged 30-60. the image is Bay's typical however, oversaturated and blown up whites. the bass are amazing. (it was in PCM multichannel and a christie 3DLP 2K so a lot of dynamics will be lost in a regular cinema not equipped with PCM/DLP technology. PCM sound is normally mandatory for DLP show). gift bag unfortunately after the movie (midnight) only included Indy dvd collection, dreamgirls dvd, Stardust (weird movie, pff, a nonsense mix of genres) coffee cup, a perfumed candel. crap! i wish we got the soundtrack CD

gkgyver Standard Userer	I would take a Jerry Seinfeld autograph over anything in that gift bag. Anyway, I'm very much looking forward to Transformers. Too bad you compared the score to Batman Begins ... that gave me a little shock.

alan_manc Non-Standard Userer	Hey Thought I'd post this. Our first sample from the Transformers score. Apparently it's called "Decepticons". Not much to it, but I like. Has atmosphere. http://www.bk.com/transformers/index.html Yeh, I know its Burger Kings website. Seems like an odd place to get our first taste of the score from!

Read my posts. Oh, and one other thing: leave me alone, I've done nothing to you, so don't start yet another Zimmer discussion for no f****** reason.

You take me too seriously; I'm surprised you even responded. Not interested in "another Zimmer discussion," but the last one about Pirates had good reason, since your criticisms were nonsensical and borderline retarted.

gkgyver Standard Userer	What exactly is your problem? Why do you persist provoking me? I just made an innocent post, you are the one who's bringing this to another level, yet again. I suppose if I annoyed you like that out of the blue, you'd of course keep your mouth shut ... Anyway, if my presence in this thread is so lame, then I'm out of here.

sean Standard Userer	gkgyver, I agree with Peter: Its your best move, really. In all honesty I just thought it was hilarious that you who sat there salivating away at how much you like "Chinese music" in Memoirs Of A Geisha! and who turned your blanket hate on for Zimmer's pirate-fantasy score to World's End because "it doesn't sound right" (gut instinct?) would be excited about the Michael Bay (clearly the world's worst filmmaker) robotic toys movie. Me, annoyed? Yeah, right.

Foobsie Standard Userer	HBO had a special on the Transformers movie.. bunch of blah blah, but I believe that the background music is actually the score.... Seems to be some choral pieces in it. FoobsZ

budharney Non-Standard Userer	I have seen this piece of garbage. The score sounds exactly like what you'd expect. There's a good deal of Batman Begins in there and there are a couple of quotes of Brad Fiedel's main Terminator rhythm.

People are so anxious to see "where" Steve Jablonsky will go "this time"! HAHA! Nowhere! I'm still stoked about this score though, and am glad the GHETTO BLASTER Transformer is in the movie! WHORA!

John Steel Standard Userer	I must agree, the music was very average. Steve Jablonsky has the least talent at MV (or RC). Transformers has a nice but usual theme. The action cues were boring, nothing new just recycling cues from The Island and Batman Begins. I still hope for a score release, because i could listen to it, but definitely not a worthy music. 10/6.5

HadrianD Standard Userer	Opening prologue to the movie with score. Sounds like something from Batman Begins but with a more overt theme. You'll also be able to hear Trever Rabin's choppy Nasa/Military string theme from Armageddon near the end too. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=K5GnJ9frGf4

sean Standard Userer	LMAO! O.K. ... The prologue music actually wasn't that bad, BUT THE MUSIC FOR THOSE PLANES LANDING in Iraq or wherever is RIDICULOUS!!! Like seriously, either put no score there, or Michael Bay has yet to watch Team America and doesn't know that that technique (Backdraft meets The Rock meets Armageddon) is exactly what is so insanely funny about his garbage filmmaking.

Not to start anything, but I am pretty sure you don't understand the whole "Michael Bay" method of film making. It's supposed to be just over the top fun, not serious (with the exception of a few moments in his films... plus I'll excuse Pearl Harbor from this argument). They are what I call, Popcorn Movies. In his, Popcorn Movies, his goal is to do nothing but create over the top fun with explosions, awesome sound effects, amazing action sequences and great visual effects. Clayton

sean Standard Userer	Oh, I understand it very well and do not leave out Pearl Harbour! That's the biggest of the bunch and shouldn't be ignored. Michael Bay has total contempt for his audience, to assume we're that stupid to swallow his crap: Pearl Harbour is the best example of this. You call his stuff "Popcorn Movies" and I call it garbage. His explosions and action sequences are badly photographed (check out that stupid one in Bad Boys II during the freeway chase; a film, too, that has an outrageous amount of screenwriters attached to it, where the whole thing is a jumbled mess) and fall short of being anything but lame; and decent visual effects doesn't count for anything if they're attached to an awful picture (you can't shine a turd).

scoreguy16 Standard Userer	Well I am glad I can just sit back and enjoy his movies without over analyzing them. There's other movies that need to be analyzed, Michael Bay just chooses to make ones that don't need it. Clayton

sean Standard Userer	No analyzing required, Bay makes it so obvious and simple that it takes literally no effort at all to see through his **** .

scoreguy16 Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by sean: No analyzing required, Bay makes it so obvious and simple that it takes literally no effort at all to see through his . And why do you do it if you don't like him? Just out of curiosity, a lot of these Michael Bay haters sit around talking about how he's destroying cinema, and is apparently the worst film maker around according to you (have you seen Date Movie by the way?), why do you people see his movies? I see them because I find them entertaining and a fun ride, but you obviously want to see them for some artistic message or something. But given Bay's track record, while some of his footage is amazing to watch, it's not art in the sense of a Darren Aronofsky film, it's art in the sense that he's able to make the ultimate summer, far fetched, entertaining blockbuster that doesn't require you to sit there and think. I think we all need that from time to time. And I hope he keeps doing it despite the people that complain because they want some Focus Feature from Michael Bay. But that's just me... Clayton
posted 07-01-2007 03:07 PM PT (US)

sean Standard Userer	Clayton, you're assuming quite a bit about me and my opinions on films and what Michael Bay does. I never wrote that Bay was destroying cinema, and yes I've seen Date Movie and it was worse than any one of Michael Bay's films. I don't think Bay is destroying cinema. And I don't think Darren Aronofsky makes art; The Fountain was juvenile and stupid, much like Danny Boyle's terrible Sunshine. I'm not dumping on you for seeing his movies, or even liking them. I like them too, but in what you might (maybe you agree with me, I don't know) think is a demented way, because I sat through that 3-hours of Pearl Harbour in the theatre laughing so hard it was incredible, my stomach was killing me after, but it was well worth it. I don't want Michael Bay to do a "Focus Feature" (whatever that is, I don't even know), I want him to keep doing what he's doing, since I get such a bloody kick out of it. If I take his films at face-value, than yeah he's retarted, but if I take his films the way I always take them, than he's a comic genius. So, I hope he keeps making me laugh because the idiots who make stuff like Date Movie, or Epic Movie just ain't cuttin' it. BTW, that prologue bit that Hadrian posted from YouTube kicks ass! I just hopes it's not the only part of the film that is good, and the score was cool, too. [Message edited by sean on 07-01-2007]

franz_conrad Standard Userer	Michael Bay's greatest crime is not a failure of artistic complexity or anything... it's that his films are so bloody boring. Sometimes it works - THE ROCK was actually very entertaining at the time - but PEARL HARBOUR and ARMAGEDDON are enough for me to never watch another film he makes. Life is too short.

I think The Island is one of his more original effort, but it's not in the same playing field as Steamboy so it doesn't really count.
