Darth_Vader-Anakin posted:To me, Transformers and other Remote Control scores are similar McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, etc. -- cheap, tasty, fast, and merely adequate. When you go to a fast food restaurant, you go because it's fast and will only cost a few dollars. However, not very many people leave a fast food restaurant and say, "My god, that was a great meal. I'm stuffed and couldn't eat another bite." It's simply OK and gives you replenishment. You would feel so much better by eating a well-balanced meal that took time and thought to cook. Similarly, Transformers and many RC scores work in their respective films, but that's all they do. They rarely make the film better or add something special. A score from a composer who will take the time to come up with interesting original material will do more to help the film than a McScore. A hamburger from McDonalds is basically the same as a hamburger from Burger King with a few differences here and there. The same can be said about RC composers and scores. There's nothing wrong with fast food once in a while, but eating too much will lead to harmful consequences down the road. Probably the strangest post I've written in a while, but I stand by it.

The editing is tight, the pacing is good, and for a thriller, it's up there with any of the best. Unfortunately, it didn't get noticed because it was released a few weeks after Dr. Strangelove and followed almost the same plot, minus the black humor and satire.
