So with little bits and pieces of new popping up on the movie I thought I would ask a few question to you guys and get a bit of a discussion going.

What do you think of Michael Bay as a director (yes, he's been signed on for the third Transformers (for those who didn't know, he was iffy on it for a while))?

Personally, sometime I love his stuff, sometimes I hate it. I love what he did with Transformers (the first movie) didn't like what he did with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The story was a wreak and the only thing I did like about it was all the really well animated Autobot vs Decepticon battle scenes.

To be honest, I had half been hoping they'd get a new director, someone who actually likes Transformers on it after that second film (I saw an interview were Bay said outright when he got the call about making the 1st he was completely uninterested because he didn't want to do a kids movie, then he saw the character designs and heard the direction they wanted to push it in and got interested (I think that's why he was had super over kill on all the sex/sexual innuendos in the 2nd movie. It was on the verge on over kill in the 1st, but he managed to keep it at a reasonable level).

I'm hoping and praying the third movie won't be as big of a wreak (or even worse of one) because Bay is apparently pushing hard to get it out a year earlier than what was originally planned (which is rather frightful. Rushed stories/movies tend to, but not always, have big problems).

Here's an article that I found yesterday: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/take5-10-05-09.html

My favorite part about it was the end, when he verbally "smacked" Megan Fox for her outburst a while back.
