Definitely!

Thanks for sharing that video, I'll go watch it :)

There are also many YouTube analyses of why Michael Bay's action scenes are like disposable junk food: thrilling while watching them, but oddly unsatisfying. The most convincing I've seen is that Michael Bay lacks a sense of space or direction; his action scenes are flashy but there are no visual cues of where everyone is placed within the scene, how the location is positioned, etc.
