I liked Armageddon. Bays movies, to me, are of better quality than movies like The Mummy Returns, Aliens vs Predator, Charlie's Angels, etc. Bay's movies are fun movies that I set my brain aside to watch and I am usually smiling at some point during the movie. This movie will deliver in that aspect. I'll just have to set aside my fanboy side...maybe I'll smother him.
I wish I could say the same. I think his movies are the worst examples of cinema. Literally! All those other movies you mention don't take themselves seriously.... they're B-movies and I don't mind B-movies (for what they are). Michael Bay's movies are C level movies with A movie gloss.
What hurts is that he takes some really good stories... and turns them into utter crap. Can you imagine Children of Men directed by Michael Bay? Well, that's how I feel about the The Island. A pretty good sci-fi story utterly "dummyfied" by Michael Bay.

God help us all.
