I agree. Bay is a much better director than most give him credit for. The characters in his films fit perfectly into the perameter of the kinds of stories he tells, well, most of the time they fit anyway, in PH he was dealing with a very serious subject and he had characters in it that just did not work in the way they ordinarily would in any of his other films.
Transformers worked better in character than most, again, give it credit for, it's a film about giant living robots from space...characterization could have been much worse than it was. Besides, that was the first part of a longer story, I believe that he'll deepen the characters even further in the second one.
The best example I can think of for people not giving Bay credit for being an intelligent filmmaker is
The Island, that was a fantastic and smart sci fi film in my opinion that never gets the attention it deserves.
