The movie suffers from the fact that people hate Michael Bay.

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2009)

I've read comment after comment trashing this movie. I honestly don't know why! Yeah it's got some dumb stuff in it, but so did the first one. And am I the only person who actually watched the original transformers series? Or the 1987 cartoon movie? It was PACKED with stupid scenes and bad dialogue! There was even a scene where a Weird Al song called "dare to be stupid" played and all the transformers broke out into a huge dance number! No my friends, this movie is loaded with action and humour. The only problem with it is that people immediately hate it because Michael Bay is at the helm. People were lining up to trash the first movie but guess what, to everyone's surprise it was actually good! This film is no different. The first movie developed the characters which leaves more room for action in this film. But due to the simple fact that people couldn't trash the first film because it was actually good, which meant it was open season on this film no matter what the quality of the movie.
So yes, I am a Michael Bay fan, I love The Rock, enjoy both Bad Boys, always get a kick out of Armageddon, and so on. Do I expect any movies like this or any of his future films to win the best picture Oscar? No, I expect them to be entertaining, which so far has happened every time.
So here's a tip for you, if you hate Michael Bay's movies STOP &*%#ING WATCHING THEM! I hate Uwe Boll's movies, so guess what I don't watch them anymore, same with Roland Emmerich (who is often compared next to Bay), Renny Harlin, and a few others.
