Romão 2,274 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I never expected depth in a transformers movie. It's pretty much all about the spetacle and the retro nostalgia. I think Michael Bay can handle a subject like this well. As it is, it's one of the must see movies in 2007 for me. I loved the show and the toys.

adamtron 0 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I liked what Director Michael Bay did with the movie "The Island", so I'm not entirely pessimistic about him directing Transformers (2007). But I do agree that the surface of Mars in the trailer looks like any dried up lake bed you could find in California. Certainly they could add some CGI rocks and red dust or sand in there. Maybe the average person won't care, but I have a collection of images from the Mars Rover and so I know the difference. Also, I really wanted to hear the Transformers Theme and that trademark "transforming" sound that they used in the animated series. So I agree completely with the other posters on that. According to Soundtrack.net, a composer named Steve Jablonsky did the music for the trailer. I have never heard of him. Anybody know who this guy is? The article is here:http://www.soundtrack.net/news/article/?id=776So that kills all hope I had of John Williams scoring this movie. Oh well. I am a big TRANSFORMERS fan and have the box set of the entire series. The animated movie is a cult classic. So I WANT to like this movie. I just hope it doesn't end up like what happened when they took the MASTERS of the UNIVERSE animated series and turned it into a live action movie and it didn't work. I will need to see a full length trailer to make a better judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I actually liked the Transformer cartoons of the 80's.Me too. In fact I still enjoy the movie version of the cartoon, with such luminaries as Leonard Nimoy and Orson Wells. What other 80s cartoon movie had the guts to kill off every major character from the TV series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Yes he's one of the 20 composers who worked on POTC.I've heard a rumor that the Transformer's movie (The animated one) is getting a deluxe DVD treatment this fall.

What I would give for a remastered widescreen version.Yup. Thanks, Marc.I own about 200 of the original Transformers. I watch the 1986 movie a lot. I own that film's soundtrack.That said, I cried when I heard they were making a live-action version. It breaks my heart. Even if they use the original theme and the sound effects, I will not see it. I haven't liked one movie Michael Bay has directed, and I doubt this one will win me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to watch The Island again and take a closer listen to the score, to see if I like his style. As for John Williams doing the score...I had my hopes because Steven Spielberg is overseeing the production and I know John Williams has scored almost everything that Steven Spielberg has been involved in. Steven said in an interview that he wanted to make this movie the best that it could be, so that they could make sequels. To me the best equals John Williams. But we'll see what Jablonsky does.

nightscape94 965 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Frankly, the idea of Spielberg and Bay working on anything together, scares the piss out of me. But I'll try to keep my hopes up. Then again, I don't know how good the story needs to be to make this movie work. Giant robots wreaking havoc on a city doesn't require much of one, I suppose.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I just happy that my favorite Transformer will show up (Prowl), and that they will be using as much original voice actors as possible.And it's generation 1 transformers: Prowl, Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Star Scream, Thundercracker, Megatron. And I do think it's a pretty easy film to get right. More responsability lies on ILM's shoulders than on Bay's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Spielberg long list of credits as a producer or executive producer (which he is on Transformers). Williams was only involved in a fraction of those.
