Why does everyone hate Michael Bay so much? His movies Do Not suck, by any stretch of the imagination. On paper, and in practice, his movies give you everything you want or Could want from a blockbuster movie experience. I just don't get why people give this guy such a hard time. His movies have Action, Comedy, Romance, Politics, and to top it off, he's got his own style. You can tell it's a Michael Bay film when you see it. He doesn't make 'kiddie' movies. He makes movies with Huge explosions and Lude humor, plus, his casts always have charisma. Michael Bay's movies don't seem to have a lot of stupid dialogue either; take Armageddon for example. The whole movie is FULL of one-liners from just about everyone. Michael Bay has worked with some of the best and most well-respected actors on the screen and gotten A LOT of the qualities that make them so good out of them and into his movies. George Lucas certainly wasn't able to do that with the Prequel Trilogy- and I LOVE Star Wars!
All I'm saying is, this guy knows what he's doing. He get's the Actors to breathe life into their characters. Example: Steve Buscemi in Armageddon. Or, Ewan MacGregor in The Island. Through the characters they are portraying, you see what makes those particular actors so good. His Cinematography is excellent. Example: The scene in Pearl Harbor with the Japanese fleet flying over the baseball field(or is it a soccer field?). It gave me Goosebumps to see that many foreign air forces intruding on a kid's every day life; and he accomplished that with ONE camera move! His Editing Crews always get the pacing perfect; his movies never slow down. Maybe Pearl Harbor slowed down a bit, but that's because it was supposed to be more of a "Love Story" centered around the historic date.
My point is, I can not think of a better "Action Movie" director for Transformers. Who else is there?

Duo Prime wrote:As much as i hate most of the designs, and the mouth thing(uuugggghhhhh....), I want the movie to rip everything else to shreds just because its Transformers. Sort of a tie up between Spiderman 3 and Transformers, the other movies, I don't know anything about. I'm just so afraid they messed it up too much, and the rest of the world(if they show up to see it) is going to look at it and say(to us the fans), why do you like Transformers? That movie sucked.
For Gondor! wrote:Doesn't Harry Potter come out a week or so after Transformers? It's getting good buzz (the trailer looks excellent) and at it's worst will make over 700m WW (third one made $789,804,554 worldwide and that was the lowest gross of the series). With the final book coming out and sending the hype even further, it could be the biggest film of the series and make a billion. That is something Transformers is not going to want to run into.
