From Bad Boys to Transformers, Bay does an excellent job. AND WHAT A JOB HE DID! In a word, the movie IS AWESOME. Jablonsky does a great job of the score. Great they've got a real orchestra doing it with a 66 piece string and 18 brass set up. For pictures of how the musical team looks like, they can be found here. CGI effects blend in seamlessly and the SOUND, gosh, the SOUND is absolutely mind blowing (AND satisfying!). Forget the pea-shooter *ping-pings*. The hearty *Thump-Thump-Thump* of really gigantic automatic weapons pounding the battlefield, the reach-to-the-back-of-the-cinema 3D audiogasmic full-bodied reverb' of the pulse lasers slamming into metal, concrete and ... well, you get the idea. Autobots or Decepticons, regardless - they moved with such gracefulness dodging all that ordnance and yet MAINTAIN that sense of weight and scale - that's RARE. Bumblebee, Jazz, Prime, Ironhide, Ratchet....they're all in there. True, many went "What's up with Megatron being an alien spacecraft...", but having watched the movie, I'm glad I didn't have to watch a silly Walther P38 pistol running about in the movie - seriously, it would have killed everything - and we're not talking about the characters in there. Starscream and company fly about and wreak havoc amongst on the silverscreen... all in all...WHAT A RIDE. WHAT A MOVIE. Go catch it.
