285518, He's the 2nd ultimate mediocre action director.

Tony Scott's the first. Michael Bay's movies are good to watch when you're just trying to see some wild action.

It's actually interesting to see some of his movies because you know something's gonna ruin it all. Whether's it's Armageddon's utter implausibility and scenery-chewing acting or BB2's lame comedy and epileptic cuts, you're completely sure that something is gonna screw up the movie.

Unfortunately, his action flicks are the closest thing to James Cameron's excellent action movies in the 90s.

That being said, I actually did find myself liking BB1 and The Rock. I liked BB2 when I saw it in a crowded theatre but that changed when I saw it by myself.

I'll give Transformers the benefit of the doubt when I see it because it's falling into same category as TMNT (childhood favorite that I want to see on the big screen).

Oh, and I'm glad to know that I'm not only person around here that occasionally goes to movies to have fun and be entertained (Life's serious enough).
