Thoughts on Michael Bay's movies? Reddit seems to hate this guy.
>>
>>69259599
Best: Rock
Worst: Pearl Harbor
Overrated: Armageddon
Underrated: 13 hours

>>69259599

he and brett ratner my fav
>>
>>69259599
His early stuff is great, but he's just phoning it in now.
>>
>>69259599

nobody makes Michael Bay movies like Michael Bay.

also as much as people shit on him for MUH EXPLOSIONS I don't see anyone else trying so fuck 'em, also has some inventive camerawork, anyone got that webm from Bad Boys two with the rotating room?
>>
Armageddon is a masterpiece.
>>
>>69259643

mildly entertaining: the island
>>
One of the best in visual cinema.

One of the worst in storytelling.

He would make kino if some faggot actually let him direct 10/10 script.


But hollywood never gives him good scripts.
So he gets cuck
>>
>>69259599
Actually extremely talented, chose business over art.
>>
>>69259599
Misunderstood genius. And I mean that in the sense that he knows exactly what people want to see, not that he makes meaningful movies.

Spielberg does the same and people love him, I honestly have no idea why they hate Bay.
>>
>>69259736
True af when you think about it. Good analysis.

>One of the best in visual cinema.

oh yeah shaky camera and slow mo are something truly kino only a master uses god damn anon what a great opinion you have
>>
>>69259599
>Reddit seems to hate this guy.

therefore, his art is pure kino
>>
>>69259776
Speilberg usually gets more heart and sentimentality in his films than Bay.

The Bay film with most sentimentality(transformers, which was about sam growing up) was one of his most well received
>>
>>69259776
A lot of Bay hate comes from his puerile sense of humor. The more jokes he tries to put into a script the worse the movie.
>>
One of us.

Makes fun shit when it's not licensed.

Why is he so angry bros?
>>
Speaking technically, he's a fucking genius. He knows where everything is going to be and how to go about it the moment he reads the script. He doesn't dilly-dally, he snaps his fingers and shit gets done.

His scripts tend to be rather bollocks though. I enjoy his movies anyway, I even enjoy his endorsed TV show The Last Ship.
>>
>>69259599
Really enjoy The Rock and Bad Boys but everything else is a bit meh.

Excluding Pearl Harbor which is absolutely horrible I don't really get the hate.
>>
>>69259776
Spielberg is jewish, Bay isn't.

What do you think?
>>
>>69259599

He is amazing at making action films. In terms of technical aspects of his movies, they're at the top. He knows how to direct action and how to engage the crowd in to wanting more. The Rock, Bad Boys and Pain & Gain show his range. He knows he is a capable Director.

Now, I hate him though. Because instead of giving us amazing action blockbusters he has settle with just appealing to the chinese box office. Making CGI filled movies with little plot. He knows he can make hundreds of millions that way. That's why I hate him, he has the talent but chooses to make easy shit that can get him more money.
>>
God damn it go fuck yourselfs Bay is shit at every thing he does, he's only good movie is Pain and Gain, everything else is garbage
>>
>>69260435
came here to post this. P&G is an alltime classic
>>
>>69260328
I think this is actually part of it, Bay, being cinematically much stronger than the jewish Spielberg makes him overwhelming, while lacking the ensnaring jewish dialogue.
>>
>>69259599
I don't like the stuff I've seen but I respect the hell out of the guy because he gets pretty good action shots and he makes the movies he wants to make unapologetically
>>
>>69259736
I agree with this.

Bay's problem are not the explosions.
His explosions are fucking awesome.

His problem is that the story and characters are pleb.
>>
most were good.
even the transformers, which are better than marvel superhero movies
>>
>>69259736
Chris Nolan here.
I agree with this anon.
Bay has inspired me a lot visually.

He's Zack Snyder?

THIS

the jewe are fully aware that Bay is a fucking master st directing action and exciting visuals.

But they give him bad script on purpose so he never overcomes there jewish pride directors.
>>
Bad Boys
The Rock
Pain & Gain
Literally the only ones worth your time.
>>
>>69259736
Agreed. He is great at action.
Perhaps the best.
If a solid screenwriter would work with him we would get a masterpiece.
>>
Michael Bay is Jewish himself you fucking retards! He's great friends with Spielberg.
>>
>>69259736
100% agreeing with you anon.
I would love Bay to direct for the Alien franchise.
>>
>>69260926
Pearl Harbor is good too but only when Pearl Harbor is actually being bombed

This faggot is way worse then him tbqh. He even said something like "I don't do anything on set. My crew does everything for me".

>Pearl Harbor: 1/10
>Transformers 3: 1/10

Don't be ridiculous. The Pearl Harbor attack is worth at least 2 points.
>>
>>69261579
Roland is a hack, the patriot is only good cuz of Mel Gibson
>>
>>69261599
The attack is canceled out by the terrible romance, yes it's that bad

Reddit dislikes having cancer, who wants to eat coal and inhale pipe exhaust now? Show hands.
Let's go to Chernobyl for vacation, friends

Guide to watching Pearl Harbor:

Just skip the first 80 minutes. Then you have a decent war flick of reasonable length.
>>
>>69261655
From this post I can tell you're under 18 years old.

t.knower
>>
>>69261772
No, it's garbage and actually worse than the real Pearl Harbor
