You're an idiot. The Northwest Hearld must've lost the last bit of their mind when they hired you.

I can agree with half of your article, but the effects are awesome and your cardinal sin was mentioning "Go-Bots" in the same breath as "Transformers"

He wasn't reviewing the movie ... he was reviewing Michael Bay.

Your disdain for Michael Bay effectively nullifies any opinion you have of the movie.

I couldn't have said it better, Bay is like the George W Bush of Hollywood, a hack with a big budget. Oh yeah, the movie stunk too.

The people who condemned this review on terms of bias: did you even read it? or did you just read the, "Whatever chance..." sentence? This movie bit.

Horrible review.....there was no chance you would ever give a Bay film a fair review, so why waste ours or your time?

Great movie. At times a little dizzying on the spinning filming. Loved it..

Waste of time, obviously you have something against Bay not the film. You miss the whole point of being a movie critic which is to criticize MOVIES.

Review that points out the movies flaws but obviously has something of a bias against the director before the reviewer even began watching the movie

Few directors are actually critiqued by their work, most are adored no matter what they produce (i.e. Quentin), and some are always hated (i.e. Bay)

he's right. Bay is a one-trick pony. And the trick is spent.
