While I'm no Bay fan, he did do an ok job on the first movie. Anyone seems a bit drastic.
Replace Bay with Mel Gibson, Roland Emmerich, George Lucas or Uwe Boll and where back were we started.
Ofcourse if they got someone good who knows what this acting is thing is, that would be an improvement.
The only difference if Lucas directed Transformers would be a thankfull abscense of Bay humour, and an increase in unecesary cgi sequences. Although at least Optimus would never shoot first then.
Verhoeven would be interesting, though I worry he'd put a scene in where Arcee flashes her crotch at Deception interogators.![]()
