I've got no problem with Michael Bay, actually I'm not even familiar enough with him to know the difference. My problem with the movie(aside from having way too high expectations) was I thought it was way too jokey. I know, its based on 80's children's toys, obviously its gonna have an element of cheese to it. But I felt they went way over the top. Its to the point where I think that movie could almost be stored in the Comedy section at video stores.

I was hoping for a "Jurassic Park with robots" kind of feel: definitely some cheese and funny lines, but also some edge-of-your-seat moments. Over-all I was hoping to be awed and almost intimidated by the robots, not laugh along with them. Either way I'll still see the second one, as all-in-all the first one still had its moments. But this time I'll go in with much reduced expectations.
