Hes a pretty solid action director anon.

>>71735438
he is not the greatest. His filming is flabby, his editing is confused, his pacing is slipshod, like a child with ADHD he is constantly distacted by a need for reaction shots

I'd say the best are Spielberg, Cameron, Richard Donner, and Tony Scott
>>
>>71735152
Michael Bay is a great cinematographer
but as a director he lacks a sense of direction, its why his movies are all well done action scenes with very little substance to them. Its entertaining but beyond the flashy lights and sound there is nothing, and Bay knows it. Its why someone like Steven Spielberg was able to completely alpha Bay into his own little pet

On Dirty Harry:
>The film caused controversy when it was released, sparking debate over issues ranging from police brutality to victims' rights and the nature of law enforcement. Feminists in particular were outraged by the film and at the 44th Academy Awards protested outside the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, holding up banners which read messages such as "Dirty Harry is a Rotten Pig"
>>
>>71735204
Actually started way before that. When the first transformers was released, there was some huge backlash from fans. Bay didn't write the script, nor did he produce the film in the first place. He was responsible mostly for the visual element of the film, something that the film is still praised for. Nerds however latched onto Bay because he has such a volatile personality.

He only made the sequels for the money and was upfront as fuck about it.

Have a look at his early directorial works. A lot of contemporary receptions were mixed, with some films being box office successes even though the critics bashed them: see The Gauntlet

He's definitely NOT a bad director... he's just average 2bh

Normies can only complain this:
>he uses explosions ewww! i'm too smart for that shit. I watch Nolan and Tarantino because they really make you think!
>>
>>71735152

Michael Bay is not a shitty director, evidenced by his early work. He has the potential to make really good engaging action movies. Pain & Gain was decent as well and it shows his skills haven't faded, but I think that was because it was a passion project for him so he was more relaxed and wasn't trying to please a Chinese Box Office.

That's his problem though, he has become to complacent with making CGI shitfests to appeal to the Chinese Market, and I mean it's working for him because he is making a lot of money. It sucks that he is content with making that kind of shit and he doesn't go back to practical effects and stunts and giving us more amazing action movies.

Could be the fact that he made a series of god-awful films which are basically a bunch of scrapheaps slapping each other about with cringe-worthy human interaction and drama thrown into the mix
