it wasn't ruined, in fact...

It was much better than I thought. Bay didn't ruin the memory from childhood, he just brought it to a new level.

This is a great action flick, and it's about time the "bad" aliens found out that humans aren't as insignificant as most movies portray. It's set up for a sequel (that's all I can say without giving it away), and I can't wait for it...
