Yay. More generic-epic-action music. So thrilling.

While people are entitled to opinions, both of you are wrong. Just thought I'd put that out there.

You sir, are correct.
Steve Jablonsky is a fantastic composer and has his scores are brought the perfect mood to each scene. Glad he's returning.

While I agree, I made the comment since the scores of the films do have a consistent, recognizable theme and specific pieces to set the mood of each scene and are far from generic. Their criticisms were the height of ignorance on the topic.

Claiming one's tastes in music are ignorant is rather, well, ignorant, dear sir. I've always been more of a fan of John Williams style of scoring, where the film can be told by simply listening to the music. Music sets the tone for everything and backs up all of the action, drama, and intensity (or lack thereof sometimes). The works in the Transformers movies never left me with any kind of impact at all. It felt, to me, as if you could copy and paste that music into any action movie, and it would fit...because it has a very generic feel to me. That's an opinion. Not an ignorant dismissal.

And I will merely reiterate my statement. Just because you think it feels generic does not mean it is. There is subjective opinion and then there are facts. I think, for example, that the second film was a very enjoyable entry in the series. The fact is that it was still a very flawed and imperfect film.
The series had very defined themes in it's score and the inability to recognize them or distinguish them after three films from other scores means you either neglected to really pay attention to the score when viewing the film or are very ignorant on the topic of theme and variation in music. As for it sounding "generic," well that's just plain wrong. Jablonsky has his own individual style that's recognizable when he scores a film. If it's mistakable for anyone else's work it would be Hans Zimmer, which is acceptable since Zimmer practically taught Jablonsky everything he knows.
And that's the simple, non-subjective truth of the matter.

The simple, non-subjective, truth of the matter is that you like his work and I do not. Yes, there are themes throughout the three movies, however I stand by the my opinion (which is just that, my opinion) that you could edit this music into any recent action film and it would still fit. I've never been a fan of these films musical scores. Granted, I'm no fan of ROTF either, but I won't call you ignorant for embracing such a terrible waste of film.
Case in point, it's ignorant to call someone ignorant for voicing their opinions.
And no, I'm not calling you ignorant, just using that word since you like tossing it around so much =D
