Well, I won't lie, Transfomers 4 almost gave ma a brain aneurysm, you think it s finished but there are 3 last action set-pieces before The End appears on screen.

 

 

 

Thankfully I didn't see 4.

I think the Bay fandom is unique in somehow demanding respect by trying to use famous names as legitimacy.

 

Which is basically what every fandom does.

I dunno, I don't see Nolanites/Jacksonites/Whedonites/whoever claiming they're respected because RandomFamousDirector "loves" him. 

[K1stpierre]

OMG there's another TF film coming out??? I can't believe I'm just finding out about this.....Oh wait, nope that's not shocking, as I gave zero shit about the series since the first fucking film.

Saying that some of the most talented and respected directors of our time know a bit much more about filmmaking than random dude number 457 on a forum is such an extraordinary  claim ?

 

Watching Bay movies I can understand Bay has a virtuosity, creativity & skills that are unique to him ?

 

Is that such a stretch to imagine that these directors, who know first hand how complex & difficult Bay movies are to do, can at least respect his talent without even necesseraly love him or his films ?

 

I know, crazy talk.

So, at first, I rolled my eyes upon seeing the IMAX promo for The Last Knight in front of Fantastic Beasts on Thursday night.

 

...and then I remembered that I hate-love these movies too much not to be there for the very first screening.

[RobinHood26]

Not excited for the movie at all, I hated 4 it was a solid D. However, I'd also like to say, BAY is a BOSS, the dude can direct.

I guess it's time to post this vid again.

Anyway, Michael Bay has the worst filmography of a high profile director.

It's one of the many methods that every fandom does more or less. But I would say that defending Bay requires much more usage of that method since IMDB, RT and a bunch of other things aint in his favor.

 

It's internet flame wars. It's serious business.

When Bay hits, he's a lot of fun to watch on a genuinely enjoyable level. See: The Rock, The Island, the first Transformers (which I've seen - no lie - a dozen times), and Pain & Gain.

 

The trouble is that although he's clearly invested in the technical side of Transformers (as evidenced by his work with IMAX 3D cameras), he doesn't appear to be in it on any other level.

Honestly, Bay gets way too much shit. He's never made anything as bad as Sucker Punch or ID4R, yet critics act like he's Hitler.

He once made disparaging marks about Kate Beckinsale's looks while making Pearl Harbor. So of course he deserves a ton of shit.

Maybe Bay is brutally honest.

 

Trust me, actresses hear tons of awful shit all the time from plenty of other people than directors, I am not saying this is ok, I am saying its common practice in an industry where looks are so important.

 

As a woman , you definitely  need a huge fucking thick skin to make it.

 

And what Kate Beckinsale went through is nothing compared to what Jean Luc Goddard used to do to aspitring 18yo actresses back in the 80's, ask Juliette Binoche about it, she sould tell the awful tales.

 

Bay barks at his team like a madman 24/7 on his sets with expletives yet they are all asking for more.

 

Weird, huh ?

I think it takes "giving some shit" for someone to come to this thread to say you dont give a shit.

The Rock is a great movie.

I hated Michael Bay when I was 16 and angry with life but these days I do think he makes solid if dumb fun films that happen to look really really nice.

I'm all about BB1/2, The Rock, Armageddon and TF1

 

The Island, P&G and TF3 are solid

 

The actual attack on Pearl Harbor is awesome in that movie. Not so much everything else. 

 

TF 2/4 are terrible! 

[iHeartJames]

I feel like im the only one that doesn't hate Michael Bay lol
