Bay Comments AICN Review and TV Spots

Bay drooped by his Shoot for the Edit forum and dropped two quick posts regarding the recent AICN review of Transformers and the TV spots possibly revealing to much of the movie.

About the review:

If he did in fact see the picture, he saw a very early cut. I can tell because of the music he mentions - those were 3 months ago. So much changes in these months those are the months when it becomes a real movie.

About the TV spots:
I promise you we are holding so much back - things that will blow you away that you will only see in the cinema.
The review comments pretty much confirmed what I guess with the temp music. The CGI will probably continue to be tweaked right up to the premiere dates.

As for the trailers and TV spots giving to much away...have to admit its not really a concern. If notice the advertisements are really the same 10 or so moments recut in different ways and different angles. Maybe 15 minutes (to be generous) of the movie has been revealed and a couple story beats but nothing major.

A flash of this and that isn't what we want to see anyway. We want to see big Transformers kicking butt in a way never seen before. The advertisements seem to show this promise might be fulfilled. Since this is a CGI extravaganza even if memorized the script and spoiled out the ying yang, its not really spoiled because reading that Optimus and Megatron fight isn't the same as seeing it. Knowing something will occur and seeing it occur are two different things in movies of this nature.
