This, of course, is a matter of opinion, but I'm hard pressed to disagree with you!!!

Thanks Rory, glad you are enjoying my work! Whenever I watch a Bay film, I always check my reason and expectation at the door. I am still critical of his work, but I'm less inclined to feel gypped by my cinematic experience.

All I can say is Wow. That has to be hands down one of the most exacting accounts of a filmmaker I've seen in quite some time. I've only scratched the surface but I had to say thanks Rodney for such an in-depth coverage of Mr. Bay. I can't agree more that he is probably one of the most berated, under appreciated filmmaker working in the business today. His talent for action is rarely equaled and besides that, he's having a helluva time doing it and it shows. Sure, there are problems as you point out with logic and story, with his typical man-child approach to romance, relationships and emotionally rounded characters. He doesn't spend a lot of time working on three-dimensional personalities any more than he strays too far from archetypes meant more to convey roles like hero and villain – so what if he loses sight of plausible and that carnage equates to conventional wisdom. He puts you in the rocket seat, straps you in and gives you a roller coaster ride and generally speaking, he makes the most of whatever story construct he's using – giant robots that turn into things, cool lets put the camera in there and see what it feels like to explode. I think the best advice for Bay naysayers is to check reason and expectation at the door, have a Coke and some pop corn already and escape for a little while. It's OK. I'll be back after reading the rest of your post Rodney. Good work!

Did you agree with me, or disagree?
