Yeah this is what I mean-the cheapness is made up by Corman, Richard Matheson, etc.
With a film like Transformers you have a higher budget for FX but that positive is is negated by the input of Bay, Orci and Kurtzman among other things. It's not a win win.
The first Transformers film wasn't bad and wasn't great, the Sequels really really went steadily downhill. Michael Bay should never have been allowed anywhere near that franchise. He is not a good director and certainly not good at story teller.
