You know what. I don't mind Michael Bay at all. He is a great action director he just tends to choose some shitty movies to get involved with (Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys 2, etc.) However, he has done some good ones (The Rock.) I went into this movie with an open mind and came out very satisfied. It wasn't one of his usual put your logical thought on hold and enjoy the movie type thing. This was actually a pretty well constructed plot, granted it is not totally original in many ways, but it was still damn good and the great acting only enhances it. If you choose to not see it simply because of the last few movies he made that had shitty stories that were well beyond anyones ability to save just by good directing, then I guess it is your loss. It got great reviews even by critics who felt the same way about him up to this point and even they enjoyed themselves.
Unfortunately, the marketing campaign for the movie sucked so it hasn't made too much money and many people don't even know the movie exists. lol I have always loved action movies, however, I don't like great action at the expense of a good story. This film had both and I really liked it, whether it's Michael Bay or not.
