    Yep... so us collectors still manage to contribute towards his fortune despite most TF fans despising his movies.

    As bad as some of his movies are, they're all box office gold and appeal to the mass population due to their fast paced explosive packed action sequences.

    I actually don't mind his movies () and think for what they are, he certainly gives you value for money for the price of admission - literally 'bang for your bucks'

    On a side note, have you noticed that he has a fascination with slow motion helicopter sequences with the resonance of the chopper blades in all his movies (bar Pearl Harbour, for obvious reasons)?

    Yeah, even if the movie is bad when you go into cinemas, you know that you'll be in for BAYSPLOSIONS!

    Personally I think people ride on the poor bloke a bit too much - The 'Bad Boys' and 'Transformers' movies are awesome, however, there is no excuse for the absolute Cluster F@#$ that is Pearl Harbour!

    I read that he had a cut from the toys before, He's just copying lucas in that way. He was already copying Lucas making movies with plot holes and wooden acting so it's not much of a stretch.
