Different Director=Better Movie

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2007)

I saw Transformers the other night and even though I wasn't disappointed, my expectations weren't exceeded.
First off, this is a very cheesy movie. However, I can understand this. If you are going to see a movie about fighting robots who transform into vehicles, you have to be able to expect a cheesy aspect to the film. I even thought that some of the cheesiness was funny and was also good addition that brought a good sense of humor to the movie.
However, the real downfall of the movie is the directing. I mean the casting was good, the CG was good, the script was alright, and the everything else was pretty decent. However, when it came to Michael Bay, I was disappointed, just like I am when I see most of his movies. I think he has potential, but he is still young and has to discover more of his talent. Really, that is the only complaint I have about the movie.
Transformers was one of the better movies I have seen this summer (unfortunately thats not saying much) and I will probably buy it on DVD. However, Michael Bay took the my rating down to a 6.5 out of 10. Hopefully Transformers 2 will be better.
