Since I'm on about the music, anyone else slightly disappointed by the score? I mean it sound epic a times, but there was definitely nothing memorable about it. I kinda wish Bay had hired Zimmer to score the movie instead of Jablonsky.

I thought the score fit the source material pretty well (actually I thought it
was Zimmer with all that bombast). The only thing that really bothered me was the rock soundtrack mixed in at various points. It did more to jar me out of my suspension of disbelief than all the walking robots in the world.
I was actually set to be disappointed by this move after some of the reviews, but I ended up liking it a lot more than the blatant excuse for one-liners that was Die Hard.
Not to say that Transformers didn't have one-liners too, they just had a little more camouflage on them. =p

The jokes almost ruined it for me. They were awkwardly unfunny. The only genuinely funny sequence was the one nazpyro mentioned. Anthony Anderson was actually decent, which should tell you how low the comedy was in this movie.
Whoever wrote the dialogue for this movie is really out of touch with the mainstream public. If they wanted to be trendy and have pop-culture humor, they missed the mark. Completely.

I actually thought the humor was pretty good, given the kind of movie it was. I'll agree with you that there was too much of it, or that they intentionally dragged those scenes out for some snappy comebacks, but it's one of those blockbuster quirks. If you're shooting for a wide audience, you have to have stuff to break up the tension.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
