I saw the film yesterday and LOVED it!! Far, far better than no. 2 and 3.
That's not saying much. ANYTHING is better than Transformers 2 and 3.

And the music was brilliant too -- I'm looking forward to experiencing the album.
Brilliant?

Film sucks donkey ass from what reviews are suggesting. RT suggests the latest film is the worst. But i liked the music
Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Yup, the score is exactly the kind of instantly likeable (yet never loveable) effort you'd expect from Jablonsky in this franchise. Instantly made it into my music-for-running list. Straightforward, melodic, strong, superficial. -

So the new Transformers film has the highly regarded Thor Seal of Approval, huh? The words 'final', 'nail' and 'coffin' spring to mind. -

Michael Bay is a fantastic auteur director, but quite often misunderstood (although PEARL HARBOR is still shit).I am extremely serious. -

Yes, and Tyler Bates is a fantastic but misunderstood composer

Michael Bay is a good special effects supervisor, but he should never helm the ship. -

He's not of Jablonsky's caliber, IMO, but he's done some good things -- especially in his early years -- that I wish he had expanded upon further. There's nuance in almost everything -- it's not all black/white.I am extremely serious. -

You just reiterated THE number one prejudice against Bay, and the very reason he's misunderstood.I am extremely serious. -

It's not prejudice when the reasons are entirely justified. He is just awful, and his films are a testament to his talent. -

Bay is an awful feature film director. He should have never left the commercial and music video world where his style is a perfect fit. He has a fantastic eye but can't tell a good story to save his life.

Michael Bay is fantastic if you know what his filmatic project is, and the audiovisual trademarks that run through his filmograhy. And if that sounded arrogant, it was intended thus.I am extremely serious. -

I have no doubt that you believe that, in much the same way a person could imagine an empty room to be art. But if you put that room in an art gallery, you expect to see paintings. When you go to the cinema, unless advertised otherwise (to preempt your straw-clutching at the 'visual experience' of such things), you expect -or at least hope for- some form of narrative that doesn't completely insult the intelligence of a retarded 5 year old kid. -

I enjoy some of Bay's work. Some of it leaves me indifferent, while I actively dislike other films of his.
For the rest:

The cake at least has the virtue of wanting to return to it after some time, even if it's not exactly good for you. -

I disagree. I don't think an original 'narrative' has ever been the reason for Bay doing movies. Like other visually oriented directors, a narrative is only a tool through which they can realize other ideas.
Bay -- like Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Tim Burton or even David Lynch -- have never been about gripping narratives and plotlines. If you judge their films based on that, you're misunderstanding or at the very least overlooking what they're mostly about.I am extremely serious. -

I'm curious, have they discovered the cure for cancer in your universe? In our universe, we've discovered the Higgs boson, so I'm sure we'd be happy to swap and compare notes. -
