The reason I hate Michael Bay

Spoiler: Hypocrisy, thy name is Ben7

What is happening in the picture, or what is it a picture of?

EDIT: Oh, you meant what the priest is doing? I have no idea, the text just conveyed what I wanted to say and it had a priest in it. Seemed appropriate.

He managed to screw up Transformers... One of the easiest concepts in the world. Big robots kicking the shit out of each other.
And what do we get? A bunch of ethnic minorities playing up to their stereotypes, a generic piece of ass, the main plot about some dumbass white boy, cheesy over the top acting, stupid humping jokes that even Kevin Smith would be ashamed of and robot testicles [http://cdn-www.cracked.com/phpimages/topic/942/summary_image.jpg].
And what the fuck was up with turning Starscream into Gollum and making Megatron a freaking sith apprentice? How does stealing that shit from starwars sound like a good idea?

"HAHA! HAHAHA! ooo Testicles man check it outttt!!!!"

My frat friends, every time they watch the movie. *facepalm*

Also, I seriously dislike the camera decisions he makes in the action scenes. I get this sort of distended feeling from the action, as well as a sometimes a headache. I am all for a fixed camera watching the action

I don't hate him completly, i loved the island and bad boys.

I couldn't take The Island seriously because its premise and plot were were a complete and utter ripoff of Parts: The Clonus Horror, which along with having a wonderfully ridiculous name is best known to the world as a movie that was featured in a good, but not great episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

And Sean Bean was the bad guy.

Why is it that British people are always the bad guys? Why can't there be Scandinavian bad guys? The last Scandinavian bad guy I saw was Peter Stormare playing a russian mobster

If you don't like Micheal Bay then you don't like America!

I don't like America. They're all Europeans in denial anyway.

I should give a shit about this why? Perhaps you need to wind your angst back a bit.

Am I the only person who sees irony in calling Michael Bay movies 'cartoonish,' and then using a movie he made based on a cartoon show to illustrate this?

But if you don't give a shit about it, why comment? I fail to see the logic here!

Delicious irony, yeeees...

I think alot of people hate Bay because his cheap formula film making is pushing out the deep stuff we had in the nineties. Watch something like "The Kid," then try to find any movie playing in theatres that's that deep. you fucking won't.

Do I enjoy bam bam no brain action? Totally. I just wish it would know it's place and quit crowding out the deeper stuff.

Now, it'd be wrong for me to sat that Transformers 2 wasn't good. But I can say that by the last half an hour or so, I was kinda hoping it'd end soon. It's hard to see which piece of metal belongs to who, and it's all a little fast pace.

But Megan Fox makes up for that... Doesn't she?

Because the angst around here is giving me a headache.

Nope.

Hmm, I understand that logic... my head nearly exploded when I watched a trailer for Twilight.

I think there is more to the argument than that, it is that he gives the audience no credit for any type of intelligence and throws a poorly made, poorly edited film at us. I am not a big fan, I downloaded the second transformers (complete with rifftrax) because I have no desire to pay money to see it. It may be cartoony, in a sense, but the fact is that isnt good, its so bad it is funny, which for a summer blockbuster, really shouldnt be the case. I think it was movie bob that mentioned that he added in the giant transformer (I dont recall the name) and all he did was dig and expose his robot balls....I think using CG to make a giant robot and all it does is dig is a BIT of a waste.

Also in his defence, you cant really go into a movie based on a cartoon/toy line and expect great things, I personally think it should have been better, but you get what you would expect.

Here's the reason I hate Mr. Bay:


There are so many hardworking filmmakers out there, all trying to make movies that will move audiences worldwide. And then there's Michael Bay, a director who's only trying to blow stuff up and make money. It really saddens me.

u need 1 reason... he's michael bay

Damn, I was hoping someone would get the YGOTAS reference...

 

[Dogstile]

Sorry, but i find it funny that you guys all hate Michael Bay because he makes films that appeal to the audience that he aims them at.

I mean seriously, its like Halo. People like it and everyone gets annoyed because "everybody else's opinion is wrong and what i like is so much better".

You all sicken me.
