:oops: if the movie actually has the style like the trailer - War of the Worlds esque - then I am all aboard, though its Bay so I am keeping the hype machine off for right now. Actually keeping the hype machine off indefinately means never going in and being disappointed on something not delievering

What is up with all the Michael Bay bashing? He has directed movies like Armageddon, Bad Boys, The Rock and Pearl Harbor. The Rock and Armageddon both being among my favorite films of all time, then I must say I certainly don't understand the Michael Bay bashing.

It's a July 4th movie. All I want out of a July 4th movie is:

1) explosions

2) a decent plot that leaves room for explosions

3) giant things (aliens, robots, etc. doesn't matter as long as it's huge).

This movie fufils all requirements, and I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

The Rock and Bad Boys are good action flicks, no doubt. I'll go as far as to say that The Rock does for action movies in the 90's what Die Hard did for the 80's. But Armageddon and Pearl Harbor? Whaaaa? I'll admit that I liked Armageddon when it came out, but thats nearly 10 years ago.

His movies are perfectly fine as long as you don't expect too much from them. As Fletch said they're perfect if all you ask is loads of explosions and little else, and sometimes thats all you need.

The best thing you can say about Michael Bay is that you know what you get at this point, for better or for worse :)
