For me it's worse than the first but I think it's worse because the first was very good and it must have been hard to make something even better now.
BTW: I think the whole movie is much worse than the first (even tough the first one was was not a masterpiece).

I listened to the sequel score, though I haven't seen the film yet. Honestly, I don't plan to; I've read the reviews and, considering my feelings about the first film, I think it's best I abstain.
As for the score, it just sounded like more of the same, to me. I'm not sure that the original score is really that good, or if I just have positive associations, because I enjoyed the first movie so much the first time I saw it.

well both the flim and the score were not good i think. there were a few places the score fit but dissappointing over all either way.

Mon Jul 13, 2009 9:48 am Post subject: How NOT to write a review |
|
Filmtracks.com is a site I visit frequently for score reviews. The guy who runs it is notoriously hard to please and he delights, as many of us do, in writing bad reviews. However, I think his review of Transformers 2 is a particularly ugly piece of writing, and I think it serves as a good example of how NOT to write a review. Here's the beginning:
| The guy at Filmtracks.com wrote: |
| Fact: our population is hopelessly stupid. Fact: our population is satisfied by mediocrity. Fact: our population takes too long to learn from previous mistakes. Fact: our population has expendable cash to waste no matter how daunting our economic woes. Fact: our population rewards senseless movies more than intelligent ones. Fact: composers spawned from the Media Ventures/Remote Control studio of streamlined film music exist solely because of all the previous facts. |
Aside from the possibility that he does not actually know the difference between a fact and an opinion, I think he goes too far here, hurling broad insults at some people who might well be his audience. It shows, in my opinion, a certain lack of class. I don't actually disagree with much of his review, but after an opening like that, I would still like to throw breadsticks at him.
By comparison, read this blog entry by Roger Ebert. Notice how he avoids ad hominem attacks. There is a big difference between telling people they're wrong and telling them they're stupid. |
