You know, I'm not a Micheal Bay fan in the least... in fact along with Brett Ratner he may be my least favorite big time director.
That said, I still went to see this movie (based on positive reviews from reviewers I trust) and you know what? It was the most mindless fun I've had at the movies in a long time.
Sure it makes you groan at the stupidity of much of the dialogue (and at Bay's half hearted attempts to make people seem like something resembling... well... people) but at it's heart it's a rousing action movie that's incredibly well put together and it very much maximizes the wow factor.
Plus frankly, as someone fascinated with such things (while remaining horrified at how we usually choose to use it), it's a cool as shit look - however exaggerated and stylized - at our military machine.
What can I say? It was a rousingly good, good time.Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
