Sure, the plot about Alcatraz and our heroes trying to do something with typical scientific weaponry and theories in most 90s action films is already laughable and drags the film down, but it isn't Transformers where the story treats itself like a sci-fi semi-existentialism film.

That film was The Rock, a film that actually shares many of the same elements as his other work - loud explosive action, buddy relationships, half-hearted attempts at romance etc; elements that have generated numerous disappointing entries in Bay's catalogue of films.

Overall Michael Bay can actually make an enjoyable movie, he can actually come up with a story for his movies, and he can actually make a movie without giant robots.....he isn't all that bad.
