Title: Michael Bay needs better film editors

That way my eyes don't fucking hurt every time I watch one of his films and I can actually comprehend half of the action going on instead of calling the hospital because of all the epileptic seizures going on around me.

Jesus Christ Transformers was a mess that last thirty minutes.

Willco says they didn't use the AUTOBOTS ARE WATCHING OVER YOUUUU song in the movie.  It would have played perfectly in the background during the last epic battle, I bet.  Just speculating, the movie doesn't come out here until next month.

You would love that, wouldn't you, Ichirou?

There seem to be a specific demographic that cannot watch or digest Bay-style action.  If anything, I find his use of slow motion to be borderline abusive, but considering he used in a shot as GIANT FUCKING ROBOTS shot at each other over some chick with huge knockers - I let it slide.  Especially in comparison to that Greengrass/Scott/Nolan/Jackson style of "shakey cam", this was a huge sigh of relief.

I can understand your issue, though.  He throws a lot of different shots and styles at you all at once; it's a very intense way of shooting action.  And I can see how some folks cannot deal with it.

Nope, that song isn't in it, but the other Linkin Park song (their current single) is.

Actually, I would prefer if they used the hard rock version from the '80s animated movie, but I'll take what I can get.
