So when news comes out of a director that majority of people seem to hate or despise (Michael Bay in this case), there gonna be all over it like flies to crap. Everyone hates Bay because they say he sacrifies story for kick ass action sequences and can't do anything BUT make really cool action sequences. I don't see it that way.
Pearl Harbor was a turd, I can't ignore that. But I loved and enjoyed The Island and Armageddeon, the latter being one of my favorite movies ever. I didn't have a problem with either one of them, I thought both had very good stories and mixed well with the action, especially Island. I personally judge each movie different, just cause its same director doesn't mean same results.
Tim Burton has changed styles in his films, so has Bryan Singer, Ivan Reitman, Luc Besson, sometimes you never know what your gonna get. I rarely let a past director's films taint my view of a new movie.

I agree with what you say, Mr. Marshmallow.
I always have a hard time wondering why most hardcore fans (or whiners. as I prefer to call them) jumps to conclusion on something they love without actually seeing the final product.
I know said this once, but it seems that sometimes, whenever they criticize something that hasn't come out yet, they actually contribute to the success to certain franchises. You can even say they unintentionally help some franchises to success, much to their dismay (and much satisfication for most people).
As far as I know about Michael Bay, I have nothing bad to say about him. As you stated, each director has their own style of filming, and Bay is no exception to this (On a side note, i did enjoy Bad Boys and its sequel, and Armageddon as well, even though I'm not a big fan of disaster movies).
I wouldn't be surprise if this movie does a successful job once it comes out in theaters next month.
Well, that's all I have to say.
