I think that the first movie was ok because Bay was restricted by Spielberg - You do see a fair bit of Speilberg in that movie (positives not negatives).

However Bay was given full reign on this flick and it couldn't of been more Bayish. Now that such a film has made such a huge Box Office return, Bay is likely to have free reign on the next movie.

We can look forward to lots and lots of impressive action and explosions but zero plot and characters with lost of soft p0rn shots and more 'genitalia' or human waste humor.
