Michael Bay was over the top in my opnion. The battle scene at the end...
attractive woman on the ground screaming in slow motion as an alien transfomring robot flies over her head.
a crownd that never fled from streets that looked as if they should have been abandoned to begin with.
Things like that annoyed me. Too much banter and smart @$$ kid crap also with the parents and girlfriend. I wish the decepticons would have had more dialogue as well. We canonly hope a new director is lined up for the sequel (maybe pray is a better word than hope).
