I should however add that I genuinely like The Rock, a lot, and practically love Armageddon. And I don't despise all of Pearl Harbor. (And even the places I wince at it, I can legitimately see what they were shooting for: it's a 1940s war movie, with the goofy love triangle and all that.)

Ditto Bad Boys (on somewhat less of a budget), which proved he can also... well... 'work' with actors (for want of a better verb). And could work with action scenes and pyrotechnics.

Sean Connery and Nic Cage were pulling down large figures, needed a cheap director who had visual flair, can shoot exciting scenes, works with pyro/guns without freaking out, and has some kind of sense of humor. Michael Bay fills those qualifications. Ergo, q.e.d.
This explanation makes a lot more sense than I care to think about.  :-\

Was this the attack where the American was playing Eve online, as he was a major player in the game, when it all kicked off and was sadly killed? He even posted a message whilst playing the game soemthing had just happened and he had to go...

Could've been Shawn Smith as he was mentioned in the movie as being very well known on the Internet.
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

I regret to say I didn't get to see it this weekend (with or without the Bro).

I don't regret to say I also didn't get to see the new Chipmunks movie (with or without the nieces).

Since I did get to be with the nieces a lot, I shall consider this overall a win, nevertheless.  O:-)
