I'm actually a big Michael Bay fan. Even though he had some misses for sure as well. But I consider The Rock still as one of the most entertaining action flicks. Transformers (the first one) was kick-ass and I'm actually few of the people that really liked Pearl Harbor. The last Bay I've seen was 13 hours and that movie was seriously good as well.

I love his typical eye-candy style. Yes, It's not very realistic, Yes, I's overdone, but men, I just love the visual aspect of his picture perfect lightning, especially in 4K. Just like in this movie. It's all there again.

What I also really enjoyed were the action scenes, especially all the SFX with the bodies. I'm sure they invested a lot of time on that SFX because they applied It to pretty much every action scene. But that's ok, since I haven't seen that much before. I t made the movie feel more original, which It really needed, because to be honest, most of It was a mess. So I guess this is the part where the positives stop.

The storytelling is messy, jumpy and actually half the time I've no idea what happened or how they got where they were. The cutscenes felt as If I went back in time 20 years, but done worse. Like a hyper teenager that still has to learn the fine details of movie making. At least, that's how It felt to me. The cuts were odd at times and just quite annoying and unnecessary. Dialogues where horrible with very poor one-liners and the actual story was also as generic and whatever as It can be, helped by the poor storytelling.

So, yes, It's kind of entertaining. I was annoyed the first 20 minutes, then, when the hyper cuts and poor one-liners stopped and there was finally some time to introduce us to the story I got into It a little more. With actually some epic action sequences that didn't fit with the otherwise quite mediocre and messy movie.

So ... a 5 or a 6 is what I end up with. The action scenes and original SFX make it jump to a 6, but men ... this really Is one of Bay's worst achievements.
