3 ups
Linkin Park’s single, ‘New Divide’, proved to be a worthy theme song. It is as good (if not
better) as their previous song, ‘What I’ve Done’ (that appears in the first Transformers
film).
Bumblebee is the film’s short comic relief. His random airing of famous hits like, ‘I’m So
Excited’ by The Pointer Sisters and ‘My Girl’ by The Temptations, is indeed funny!
Steve Jablonsky deserves full credit for composing a good score.
3 downs
There wasn’t much sense in playing the theme song (‘New Divide’) right at the end, during
the credits. Why call it the theme when it fails to appear in the film?
All in all, it is your typical, run-of-the-mill action/sci-fi movie soundtrack
It was baffling to see the best tracks on the list not make the final cut. Songs from Theory
Of A Dead Man, Hoobastank and Avenged Sevenfold deserved better consideration.
