    Granted I hated Pearl Harbor and Bad Boys II, Michael Bay is great director who has fallen victim to critic puppets and people who blindly follow Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who think they are the peddlers of pop culture. Heck if people are so blind as to follow them, then maybe they are.

    Man listen, fuck what everyone else says.... Michael Bay is one of the best directors out there and makes some of the best movies out there. The Rock, Armageddon, TRANSFORMERS... These are all excellent, action-packed movies. Bay has a natural eye for the camera and uses great angles. If you ask me, more directors should be as talented as him!
