The rest have been pretty much mindless tripe...
Have to agree with you on the Trek reboot though. That was an excellent movie. A lot of that comes down to the fact that the cast were superb and looked believably like a young ToS crew (that and a reasonably good screenplay unlike most of the Star Trek movies)... [and yes, I am a trekkie].

Then he started producing more than directing and he did pull out some more good films but this gave him too big a ego. Then he started bouncing around tv channels telling everyone how his films were so great and how great he was because HE was bringing transformers to the big screen (nothing to do with Spielberg or the other produces - no Bay it was all you).
I saw Transformers on day one of release and rented number 2 just to see if it was any better. The story lines are a joke, the SFX kick ass but overall these films are dull.
(I`ll wait till num 3 is on Sky to watch that if I got nothing else to do)
SO TMNT - we are supposed to just except that there are Alien turtles living in space, who know the Earth based form of combat know as Ninja and they come to earth to save us (this sounds like Howard the duck to me - and we all know how well that did). Next he`ll send us a memo telling us there are not teenagers and that would be all 4 parts of the name in the bin. I`m not against the whole space/aliens thing - TMNT has always had them within the show but the "turtles are the aliens" is too big a pill of poop to sallow.
Star trek is a very good point - as I`m in the same boat as you. I have no love for the TV show or the older films, but the reboot as a really good film. But JJ Adams respected the fans - Bays seems to just want to do what Bay wants.

Lol I don't know, does she look that young? But anyway, after the Transformers 3 debacle, I'll wait. I don't really care who directs a movie, if its about to show whenever we walk in and the trailer was decent then ok.

Gen: Yeah Im sure she is....she's definatley not my old age (43) cough cough.......I was a teen when the first movie was out..... for the record, my Dad worked on it....
But my answer and point being that those who paid (the general public) to see a Michael Bay movie have essentially put him in that position and therefore the good old studio executive has rubbed his hands together and gone 'hey, people actually like this shit and are willing to pay, here Michael have a shitload of cash and see what else you can make'
Those are the people really to blame.
I have no doubt in my mind, that the same people who complain to high hell about it will still go and see it. Again more cash handed over....
Also I was wondering, with all the slagging off this chick does of Bay on the youtube video, I wonder if she'll have a court injunction layed on her for the amount of abuse she dished out against Michael Bay.....the slightest thing in the states and out comes the Lawyer......

I really didn't have Bay in mind for those other cartoons. I should have made that more clear.If he touches any of them - I`ll hunt him down and chop of his head using some of the piece of crap toys from transformers.
Lol, thats trek blasphemy I tell ya, trek blasphemy! May Scotty and Bones role over in their graves. Well Maybe not Scotty. I think his Ashes are in some sort of a box traveling in space or was that Gene Roddenberry?Heres a fact for you. I am by no means a Star Trek fan...I cant stand the series or those movies, but that reboot by J.J Abrams worked wonders and I adore that film...I'm a fan...not a trekkie but am a fan.

Mamoruk: Shes 27? okay so I wasnt too far out with age. Thats why I think all the whining is arse. She would have been tooooo young to comprehend it properly. Come on lets face it....nobody really remembers that clearly about what they felt as a 5 year old....images maybe...but feelings for a movie. I dont think so.
Its almost like a trend/fashion with everyone trashing Michael Bay movies (not that Im a fan anyway) but you know what Im saying. Just like when the press hang someone out to dry for all to see in a newspaper, it just goes on and on, and becomes boring.
LOL of course its his choice in what he's doing....you arent gonna turn that kind of money down are you -nobody would.
I may end up working on Transformers 4 if Digital Domain take it on again, theres already talk of it in the studio. So I wont be biting the hand that feeds for sure if it comes along LOL
food for thought
