and your whole argument doesn't really work cuz of all the Bay films the one that is most often trashed, besides The Island(which was essentially 2 movies in 1) is Armageddon..which I [censored] loved despite it being poorly made. It was the perfect example of a bad B-movie that achieved greatness. Great characters, funny dialogue, cool special effects, incredibly cheesy plot/story, awesome sequences that are both fun and enjoyable to watch. The kind of bad movie that can be watched multiple times on TNT cuz its not just all aboutgreat special effects.
The exact opposite of what Transformers is...great special effects and a solid performance by Shia...but not much else. Well MFox is hot obv and it has the whole nostalgia element going on.

You loved Armageddon and can't see that many think the exact same thing about Transformers? You really can't see the similarities?

Armageddon sucked...I thought it was trash. No good actors, bogged down by a love story, the effects were good for its time and those were fun to watch, but that's about it. But I can at least see why people might have liked it as a popcorn flick.

So why aren't you pissed that there was like 30 minutes of goofy love story and that you could barely even see what was going on with the alien robots while they were fighting.

Lots of people who absolutely loved this film - myself included - are. Rip out the lovie dovie sh*t and replace it with Starscream and Megatron beefing and it would have made the film 10x better.

Still was a wildly entertaining film, and totally a nostalgic trip.
