I really don't know why so many people think michael bay is an awful director, he's doing just fine, we aren't his demographic. When the first transformers movie came out in 2007, I was a lot younger and found it to be hilarious/badass/whatever, by the time the second one came out ehh, I'd grown up a bit more and wasn't so into it.
To quote him, "I make movies for teenage boys. Oh dear, what a crime.".
He's an awful director because he even fails at making decent action because his cinematography and character designs are so messy that you can't tell what the fuck is going on

it wasn't an incredible film by any means, but it was certainly objectively better than the Transformers films.
Transformers fans deserve better films. I understand they cater to a certain demographic, but they are not even good films compared to similar movies.

Was better than Transformers that's for fucking sure

Transformers 2 is objectively much worse than the first one because it just went full retards on many levels.
"Making movies for teenage boys" doesn't mean you can do whatever the fuck you please and have no quality control over your own movie. If you have to stoop so low as to have piss/fart/dog sex jokes in your movies to desperately try to pull a laugh out of the audience then you're a bad director.
There's also the fact the action scenes involving any more than one transformer are a fucking mess (which is partly due to the character design being godawful) and that every single movie has the exact same scenes as the previous ones, but with a clear drop in quality every time. When the army is still bothering shootting bullets at giant robots and is still acting confused when it does jack shit after three fucking movies, then you're either shooting a film about an army of highly deficient monkeys with guns, or you're fucking terrible at varying your work.
[QUOTE=mchapra;45229259]No I'm pretty sure they're going with the expectations of it being a movie that isn't a waste of their time and money.[/QUOTE]
So they can judge that by the trailer.

I mean, you have to be pretty retarded to expect much of anything out of a movie based on a toy.

You can't excuse a movie being god awful by saying it's just an action flick.[/QUOTE]
I don't think anyone here really was. They're acknowledging it was bad, but they weren't expecting a 5 star masterpiece anyway given the reputation. They just wanted to see shit destroyed.
It's funny how everyone is rating people dumb for saying they got what they expected out of the movie.
saw this last night and while the action was neat, I couldn't help but feel the movie was a bit long. It clocks in at around 2.75 hours.
there's also good portion of the movie where not a single line of dialogue is said so if you're in this for the action like I was, then you'll be a happy movie goer.
