Bayhem

Michael Bay’s second Transformers saga delivers full-bore “Bayhem” like a brick to the forehead, with some tender love on the side, making this either the biggest blockbuster of summer ’09 or history’s loudest romance.

Typical of Michael Bay's manic “Bayhem” style (discussed earlier), Armageddon focuses more on the masculine heroics of the crew sent to blow up the asteroid.

Con Air is Bayhem without the vision—something that was already becoming the prevailing Hollywood action film aesthetic.
