Will Michael Bay Ever Change It Up?

Rating: 6/10 (28 April 2010)

By no means whatsoever was this a good movie but you have to admit, it was never intended to be. I was just grateful alone that it smashed Deep Impact.
An overall comedic and rounded out cast complemented the typical one liners and visual eye candy galore. Michael Bay is just one of those directors who puts on a show for the masses. I don't think it's all that different than Roland Emmerich or even James Cameron and Steven Spielberg. Don't get me wrong, Cameron is far more skilled at story telling and at redefining the movie experience but you'll never see Cameron do a Scorsese type movie. Spielberg does the same thing. Heck, he exec produced Transformers which Bay directed. Spielberg just has a unique talent when it comes to almost all kinds of movies. He's not type cast while Bay is pigeonholed.
My one complement to the film was the ending. Liv Tyler wasn't all that convincing when it came to saying goodbye to her father but Willis stayed true to his hard nose characters who go out strong.
