why i'm going to go see transformers even though it's a michael bay film

Michael Bay dislike:
1. Armageddon. 'Nuff said.
2. He always has a scene where character(s) are standing looking up at the sky or "posing dramatically" and then the camera circles around them for minutes on end (typically it involves the camera panning out so that you can see the surrounding terrain/ship/Alcatraz and it's obviously a helicopter flying around in circles filming). For some reason, this annoys me and a number of times my attention span wavers because it seems like an eternity that the action has stopped in order to do this shot and I get bored and then when the action picks up again it takes a few minutes to get back in the mood. Although, The Island I never was able to get back in the mood. Which is a shame, cause that movie started out So Well.

Transformers love:
1. KFM is one of the screenwriters.
2. The effects look freakin' awesome (jeebus, I watch the movie trailer over and over again just to see the transformations. And really, rollerblading transformers, how awesome is that?)
3. Josh Duhamel, Anthony Anderson & John Turturro
