Snyder is really good at crafting really cool looking moments. He shares that skill with Bay. But he seems to spend so much currency on making those individual moments that the surrounding stuff kind of flatlines, because it doesn't have as much effort or it needs to be twisted and contrived in such a way to result in that cool singular moment. This is exemplified when he starts working towards specific panels from a comic book, and it becomes a chain of "LOOK AT THIS COOL SHOT" and "THIS IS THE COOLEST MOMENT EVER" and the links between those moments are barely holding things together, or they aren't at all.
