I am.

Honestly, the only two Bay movies I can't really profess any kind of favor for are Pearl Harbor and Armageddon - Pearl Harbor because I can't seem to watch enough of it to form a good opinion of it (most I've ever seen was from the start of the attack forward) and Armageddon because it's a ridiculously over-the-top and surprisingly dated doomsday flick. That being said, I find Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to be my least favorite of those that I do favor - that movie might just be the visual definition of "wingin' it".

Pearl Harbor and The Rock are the only good Bay movies to me.

I enjoyed Pearl Harbor when I was younger, but I can't stomach the portrayal of Jimmy Doolittle as a fighter jock nor the portrayal of asking for fighter pilot volunteers for the Doolittle Raiders. To quote the inter-webs "Th stupid....it burns."

I'm not ashamed to admit that "Armageddon" is one of my favorite movies. There isn't one thing I find wrong with it, other than Will Patton not having a bigger role.

And, since I like mindless 'splosions and the good guys winning, I enjoy all of the Transformers films, with them being ranked in preference along the way they were released.

Armageddon is one of those movies that I really liked when I was younger. In hindsight though I think it is stupid as hell, but I still enjoy it.

Pearl Harbor was the most disappointing movie I've ever seen in the theater, but it's gorgeous to look at.

Michael Bay at least has his own distinctive style that everyone is familiar with. If he were to direct a Bond movie, everyone here would have an idea of what it would look like. I feel there's very few directors we can say that about. (Tim Burton?)

I did like seeing the P-40s in action. I think that is one of the more beautiful planes the U.S. has ever fielded, ranking up there with the Jenny, F-86, F-106, and F-15.

I found our old copy of the first Lord of the Rings movie, so I'm going to watch it for the first time in about 10 years
