Bay's formeres

finally!! after 2 years of waiting, Michael Bay is back!!
for those who don't know him, he's the guy who directed Bad Boys I&II, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, the Island, and the Rock
and he just released his latest movie
Tranformers.

yes i went there yesterday, and yes i watched the midnight show _even i didn't sleep for more than 3 hours in the previous day_ but he's Bay for CRYING OUT LOUD!!!
for some reason all the critics were against him or didn't like him,and also considerd him as one the worst directors in the american history!!! >:0
i just can't understand the critics sometimes, for me he's one of my fav. directors in all times
he has his own style and the action sequence in his movies are just outstanding, he gives the environment and the soundtrack a big share in his movies, not to mention the slow motion which is a trade mark of his.
i don't c that as a bad thing, considering what he's trying to deliver (a good summertime movie)
i don't need to compare him to Clint Eastwood or
Alejandro González Iñárritu ( i love both of them :)) or who ever is out there. the guy have his own style and it's up to you to enjoy his movies or not, no need for set up rules on how to write, produce and direct a movie.

However, back to the Transformers:

well it was a disappointment :(
i didn't expect that from Michael (as if he's my friend :P), to be honest the visual effect were a piece of art, there was some mistakes here and there, but who wouldn't?!!
but acting wise!! i was like "okaaaay, it will get better soon" but it never happened!!
i like Shia Lebeouf (even almost everyone don't) , and Megan Fox have the most beautiful eyes ever, but both of them needs some serious acting lessons
while i was watching i was wondering why Bay didn't focus much on the acting, there was some comedy performance but in allot of the scenes ended up being silly and not in their places.
a critic from Los Angeles Times said about the movie:
"… though he has a way with CGI toys and action set pieces, director Bay does not have a noticeable gift for making human beings come to life."
too shame but this what the truth, somewhere in the end i lost my interests in the movie and i just wanted it to end
the action was at the top, but i had enough with it by then maybe i was so sleepy!! i don't know
but i was looking for something more than that from Michael Bay
of course it's only my opinion, ppl have different points of views and i respect everybody, except the ones who says that Batman & Robin is a good movie :P

I didnt watch the movie, but you need to look at the movie at what it is supposed to represent. The focus of the Transformers should be on the mechs themselves, and as long as that is covered along with the related action, the movie did its job

well KJ:
representing the transformers was great effect wise, but when u consider their characters it wasn't that much; or wasn't at all, the only focus was on the effect and the fight scenes..
go back to Spiderman, Sam Raimi manage to present the personal side of the character and for the first time in a superhero movie u could c a 3D super human, with feeling emotions and some extra power

even if it sucked, the effects made it look good ;)
