A shaky camera followed by several explosions pretty much sums up the fight scene at the end.

And I don't hate Bay or the franchise, I liked the first two movies, but this one was really hard to watch at times.
I guess we 100 percent disagree, because like I said, I thought Xmen's visuals were terrible in comparison to Transformers. Yes, with Dark of the Moon or any of the first two, at times, it can be a little tough to pick up everything that's going on, but to me, that's a testament to the attention to detail that goes into making these things. There's so much going on and if you do it slow it down or wait for a trademark Bay slo-mo shot, you can see how much work is involved.

I know winning or being nominated for academy awards is not the be all, end all argument, but the first 2 Trans movies have received 4 techincal nominations and will probably have more for this movie. No nominations for either Xmen movie and I would be shocked if First Class had any visual or sound awards next year.

Xmen a far better movie, Transformers, a far better visual experience.
