Everyone knows what his movies are like, yet everyone gets so annoyed when his latest summer blockbuster turns out to be lots of noise and special effects. What has he ever done to make you expect something more from his movies?

Nothing, which is why I haven't watched a Michael Bay film since Armageddon.
The point I (and others in this thread) are making is that there's a better way. You can make an awesome summer action movie with amazing special effects, tightly-choreographed fight sequences, and loud explosions without having to sacrifice quality dialogue, a compelling plot, and innovative storytelling. Some directors can do it right; Micheal Bay, Roland Emmerich, and McG cannot.
