Am I the only person who sees irony in calling Michael Bay movies 'cartoonish,' and then using a movie he made based on a cartoon show to illustrate this?

I think there is more to the argument than that, it is that he gives the audience no credit for any type of intelligence and throws a poorly made, poorly edited film at us. I am not a big fan, I downloaded the second transformers (complete with rifftrax) because I have no desire to pay money to see it. It may be cartoony, in a sense, but the fact is that isnt good, its so bad it is funny, which for a summer blockbuster, really shouldnt be the case. I think it was movie bob that mentioned that he added in the giant transformer (I dont recall the name) and all he did was dig and expose his robot balls....I think using CG to make a giant robot and all it does is dig is a BIT of a waste.
Also in his defence, you cant really go into a movie based on a cartoon/toy line and expect great things, I personally think it should have been better, but you get what you would expect.
