"Poor" still implies the presence of SOMETHING. Saying the plot of a Michael Bay movie is poor is like saying the tropical beach front property on the moon isn't very good.
I'm not saying Bay ever pretends otherwise or makes any apologies for the wilfully inane scripts, just don't pretend that story is even a factor with that guy.
For the record though, I don't actively dislike Bay's movies - they're usually quite fun in a concussed kind of way - it's just that it's all getting a little...unfocused. Maybe it was just a symptom of Spielberg's involvement with the last one, but it could never seam to decided if it was supposed to be a straight-up action adventure or a bizarre comedy.

I am hoping mainly for more sunsets (because the 30 or so last time weren't enough) and that they don't cancel Animated because of it.
Seriously, "Transwarped" was the best episode of Transformers since "The Agenda". I heart it.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Really? I like his use of the American flag. It was even on the Russian space station in Armageddon. I swear, if you played a drinking game to when you see a US flag you'd be hammered half way through. Then again, I'm a patriot type guy, so I don't really mind seeing my flag everywhere.

It's the hentai tenticle attack scene you have embroidered on it that offends: the colors are really quite calming.

"Seriously, 'Transwarped' was the best episode of Transformers since 'The Agenda'."
At least include an exception for the line "utilizing my cyberninja processor-over-matter technique".
I'll give you that. But other than Prowl's stupidly-named ninja moves, "TransWarped" was indeed pure awesome. I mean, they got Judd Nelson to come back and do Rodimus Prime's voice again after all these years. Yeah, I know he's hardly the first G1 voice actor to do Animated, but still... I now have hope that Orson Welles can be raised from the dead to once again voice Unicron.
