No, every movie he's done other than The Rock, which I now consider to be the exception to the rule. Not to mention the trailer, history of Hollywood and its molestation of source material, interviews with the director and the producer, and the plot details. Really, other than the name, the fact there are transforming robots, the label of "Energon Cube", the names Decepticon and Autobot, and some names of Robots, it isn't really Transformers at all in any which way shape or form.
Most of my bitching has been about how this movie has a 98% chance of being brutal and only by the hand of God will it be anything that isn't complete shit. I have yet to see, hear, or read anything that says other than maybe some nice action sequences will there be anything redeeming about this movie at all. Every piece of evidence only strengthens my theory. Amazing, I actually was looking forward to the movie before Bay was hired and he and Speilberg starting talking about it and the plot details got out.
Considering how much I loved the source material, it's something that I'm a little more passionate about. If I wasn't, I really wouldn't care.
Now, I will watch this movie, make no mistake about it. And you may not believe it, but I will actually try and separate myself from my love of the source material and judge it on its own. But 'cause of what I've seen, I will not spend a penny to watch it the first time and my expectations are as low as they can go. Kinda like the opposite of FF7, I don't think it's possible for me to actually be disappointed in this movie and there's a good chance it'll be better than I think (almost a guarantee).
So it might be a good thing, who knows?
