I always thought Michael Bay is everything that is wrong with the Summer Blockbuster, and doesn't suprise me that this movie sucks. His movies are souless, have zero character development, and the plots are always ridiculous. His movies rely on NON STOP action, explosions, and CGI, nothing more, nothing less.
Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys II, Transformers, and Transformers 2 are the reason why I rarely go to the movies in the summer anymore.
