Then again, it's "cool" to hate Michael Bay, so people will probably ride that bandwagon til the wheels falls off.
Damn those haters! Buncha wankers those guys are. Then again, his movies are loud, obnoxious pieces of shit. The original turtles film wasn't Citizen Kane, but it at least had a shred of depth and message of love and family. Tender conversations with Splinter talking with Raphael about his anger and pushing away his brothers to walk alone breathed genuine life and character into those puppets and costumes.
Character I just don't think Bay is capable of delivering on, if such masterpieces like Transformers 2 are any indication. His craft is one of drowning out people and character in favor of noise and explosions. That is why I suspect some of us are wary of having him direct. Not because he changed the "look" or altered some minute background detail, but because he sucks as a director and has a track record of delivering a product that is historically empty and shallow. Guess that makes me a "hater".
