This is, by far, the most Michael Bay like movie I've ever seen.

To anyone who's hating on this film or is doubtful about it: don't be, its a great war movie. Just scroll through the imdb reviews, Bay did a great job and the movie was mature and respectful to the events that took place. None of the obnoxious aspects of transformers are present which shows that Bay can make a good film if he has the right subject material and script.
