Feh. Michael Bay, to me, is one of the worst directors on the planet. I didn't grow up on Transformers either, but he really did a terrible job with the movies, as he's done with most of his other films (that I've seen). In my opinion, the only thing Bay is good at is making things go BOOM. And when that's your specialty, directing may not be your thing.
He supposedly aims his movies at "teenage boys." Well, I was a teenager when I saw the Transformers movies. They were still crap.
As far as Fox goes, I'm iffy on her in general. She's not the best actress around, and I think her looks are overrated, but I would take her over Kristen Stewart. SHE is the worst actress. Dear God.
@Schattenu: I never saw Interview With a Vampire (read it, though, awesome ass book), but I've seen War of the Worlds and I liked Cruise. I also saw Jack Reacher and enjoyed it. I think he's a good actor. Better than a handful of guys you see nowadays.
@veritas: I remember TMNT the TV show, at least a few things about it. I remember the theme song most of all. xD Either way, Bay will probably make the film and ruin it, just like he ruined Transformers. *sigh*
Guess what movie I'm NOT going to see, folks? The Host! I refuse to see anything to do with Stephenie ******* Meyer. I really detest her. -_-
