Actually, George Miller could teach Bay a handful of lessons on how to make an action movie that doesn't take its audience for idiots, where the action is readable, where CG is used the most wisely, where characters aren't drowned in the frantic action and tons of explosions, all of this without racist stereotyping or obnoxious product placement

Love the look and feel of Michael Bay films. One thing that really made it difficult for me to accept his talent as a director (at least when I was a bit younger) was the way he decided to make the Transformers look - sort of a selfish perception as I was just really excited to see the Autobots and Decepticons I loved from the original tv show and animated movie brought to life on screen. Instead I think we got something more geared towards a younger generation. Great content, and the information about Bay's rise in Hollywood was very insightful. I agree, he deserves respect for his obvious talent, but recognize that not everyone will see his movies and appreciate the hard work that goes into making them, myself included at times.

The ONE THING I truly respect about Michael Bay is that he will always try to use practical effects and working on location, even when it's just for shooting explosions and then adding the robots digitally. Other filmmakers (looking at you, most of early Marvel movies and Zach SNyder) would just shove CGI for the whole set-piece.

Honestly i dont understand the hate. I love his movies! I love all the camera angles he uses, i think it gives me a sense of chaos which is usually what he goes for. It also allows me to see everything important in the action sequence, instead of just a boring still frame of dudes fighting. I guess i mean his camera angles give more emphasis. And i personally dont see antuhing wrong with the amount of explosions. Who doesnt enjoy seeing stuff blow up? Its fun!

Enjoyment isn't the same thing as having a critical insight into filmmaking. I enjoy watching all kinds of garbage. I don't let that get in the way of being able to recognize when a filmmaker has really done something special and innovative - and when he/she is falling back on clichés or crafting films that are designed to appeal to "lowest common denominator" popular taste. The great thing about cinema is that it has plenty of room for all kinds of filmmaking. But it's also true that there's an art of cinema which some filmmakers just don't ever really get close to. And some mass market filmmaking is full of clichés. The more film you see and the morev discerning you are, the more those clichés start to grate on you. It happened to me around age 28. At 40, i now find Bay's movies only semi-wstchable. He's not the worst, but he's extremely predictable

The issue in this video is not whether or not you like his movies, but just to inform you that this guy does indeed have some talent in terms of creating images.

What I respect Michael Bay for is the spectacular visuals, action sequences and awe inspiring set pieces. What I don’t respect him for is plot holes, lack of character development, and humor. In short: Bay should stick to what he knows.

I halfway respect him for the fact that he has the stones to not only make the movies he does, but put them out into the world.

I don't care whether or not people respect Bay, but people should at least stop hating him so much. The guy found a way to make money with movies, and he's doing that. Cry about it.

I can't say I'm a fan of the Transformers movies but I do think he's got some enjoyable films in his filmography. Not to mention his studio is responsible for hits like The Purge and A Quiet Place. He also has the respect of several heavyweights in the film industry (Spielberg and Cameron being two of them).

Michael Bay despite what the meta sheep and hipster liberal arts school flunkys think is actually a cinematic genius and has more than earned his success already. I really found a lot of his stuff mediocre when I was younger, but after the first transformers film and onward his level of big budget blockbuster storytelling, visual effects work, and cinematic technique became positively top notch. Sure his films still has problems, but you know what lame brains.... ALMOST EVERY FILM EVER MADE HAS ITS PROBLEMS TOO!!! And if you havent noticed, a lot of complaints in his films aren't necessarily issues in film composition (outside of some occasional narrative snags) but are much more often just people's entitled opinions that are truly subjective, that they try to distort as objective criticism. Establishment loving critics are biased against him and need to be taken with a pitcher of salt to put it kindly. It is complete bullshit and he is putting up with it a lot better than ANY of his haters could if they possessed a fraction of his talent. So do us all a favor and grow the hell up already! I can't wait to see where he takes the transformers franchise, as well as what stories he has to tell additionally through his unique style of film making. Keep up the good work Michael! History will look on you much more kindly than your lame brain haters!

I understand why people hate him, but I find it disheartening that everyone decides to hate his movies only because he directs or produces them. the acting in all of his films are so dull well I at least give the actors credit for trying their best. the Action is very confusing ' how? I understand what's going on. He has ruined all of our childhoods 1 - Not ALL. he only did TWO franchises like that: "TransFormers" and "TMNT" 2 - just because a movie based on something you love from when u were a kid is bad doesn't mean it's Ruining or Destroying it. it's not like that whatever new material Bay added is gonna squeeze it's way into the original media at all. it's just a new version that was made for a new generation of kids. He's even ruined our childhoods by producing remakes of our favorite horror movies 1 - again, it's a new version. 2 - What child was ever watching these R rated horror movies with gore, nudity and strong language? I bet you guys only got to see it when you were more older like at the age of 20. why does he have to make Every Single Female Character we see do sexy things? he Doesn't do it with every female character. does he do it to the woman we see talking back at Bear in "Armageddon"? NO. did he do it to the Dean we see for a brief second in "Revenge of the Fallen"? NO. He needs to stop making all his black characters racially offensive He doesn't do that to ALL his black characters. there's General Kimsey who was black in "Armageddon" and he didn't do anything offensive. sure he did swear but he didn't do raps or anything like that. He needs to take the G1 Megatron and Get rid of his Megatron and use G1 for good No. he shouldn't. I get it. you want to see the G1 characters come back. but here's the reason why they get re-designed: Their designs in G1 are laughable. they're just.. Freaking ridiculous. those designs wouldn't work. There. I said it. I'm sorry but I think Bay's designs are awesome. he places Explosions Everywhere! in a Street, in the sky, in a Toaster, every single place. not really. he only does that in places like a Street, a Building, the sky(Only when a plane fight goes on), in the desert, and in the forest. and mostly even a city. not a toaster or a Baby Carriage or anything like that. His films are the Most Horrible, Despicable, Terrible, awful, and Mortifying movies of All Time! anyone who likes or even LOVES his movies should be ashamed! death to Bay! he is an EVIL MAN! you guys are taking this guy's films very seriously. sure there are bad directors like Uwe Boll who always makes terrible video game based films, or M Night Shaymalan who did make Two good films, but his movies got worst as time went on. just because a bad director is still in the film industry doesn't mean he's "EVIL" or anything. he even respects people's opinions. don't believe me? Read This: www.cinemablend.com/new/Michael-Bay-Transformers-Critics-Let-Them-Hate-43665.html with people like Uwe Boll on the other hand, he challanges critics to boxing matches and wins. which is one of the reasons why Boll is a terrible director. he's even won TWO "Worse-Sense-Of-Direction awards of "BloodRayne" and "Alone in the Dark" Bay did win One of those, but it was for "Pearl Harbor" (Which I can admit was a bad movie) some of his films have even had Oscar Nominations. and the fact that people call his fan Trump Supporters and Idiots is just sad because they just don't get that we have our own opinions on everything. I even know a person who doesn't hate "Speed Racer". so if your'e gonna Attack someone because they like Michael Bay's work, just please be calm and respect our opinions.

I like some of his movies. Others, not so much. Transformers is a Prime example of one I didn't like. The first one was alright, but the others were horrible (I haven't seen the fourth one yet.) Thing is, most of what I dislike about Transformers would be gone if the movie was about the Gobots (as I don't remember what any of their characters were like) or a completely new franchise.

Too be fair, just because someone is extremely disliked, it doesn't mean they can't have good points or do good things.

Also, when someone is the first or most popular person who does a thing, yeah, generally speaking when other people do it, by default they either invented it or inspired others to copy it. The chances of someone coming up with the exact same idea within that short of a time period, after that idea was already popularized by being featured in some of the highest grossing movies of all time, all by themselves with no outside influence is HIGHLY unlikely.

Which prevented most American audiences from realizing that Tango & Cash and Bad Boys 2 ripped off scenes directly from Police Story (1985).

Matthew Fernandez Yeah only dumb teens worship that subpar mainstream director.

I like Michael Bay. He doesn't make deeply thought provoking films, but if you want to see some interesting camera angles and watch stuff blow up for 2 hours then he's your guy.

Fun fact: some of Bay’s defenders not only include Spielberg, but also Jerry Bruckheimer, Neill Blomkamp, Sir Ridley Scott, and shockingly, Florence Pugh.

what is the movie that shows in the minute 7:41? i want to watch that movie! looks awesome.

movies are for entertainment so he's doing everything right.

*Growing up with Bayfilms, I never even KNEW Bay was hated until 2018! The same people who hated the Transformers films are the same who sperg out over their obsessive Marvel's shitty movie repeats lol*

from what film is the part between 7:40 and 7:44 ?

Hmm...the whole "not using the story board" sounds like a mix of egotism, narcissism and irresponsibility. While he may have a neat idea or two stored away, he's still working with hundreds of people on a big project. Leaving everyone in the dark or on their toes is not an ideal way of working and nobody appreciates it. I think it's less about realizing his "creative genius", if you can consider his constantly trucking or dollying shots artistic, and more about his personality. But, what do I know?

Dark Rush But he DOES get those shots right and the way he wanted which is what matters at the end of day. That doesn't mean that it's the ideal work method, but it works for him

I have always respected Bay and am usually interested whenever he releases in a film.

I dont mind his movies, they are great most of the time. Watching movies is like eating food, you dont go to Mcdonalds or KFC when you are expecting a 5 course meal with a waiter and a classical live band. Both are good for what you want at that specific time. His movies are great for just all out action. But imho, the last transformer movie just didnt do it for me, I had to watch it in pieces.

Respect a dude who refuses to ever question his work? Can't think of any other major artist like that.

I respect Michael Bay for his work and In my personal opinion, I find his movies to be badass.

God damn right.

His movies aren't the best but admit it he makes fun movies that we just like to watch because there fun. Plus at least he didn't direct mortal combat

I actually really like his directorial style. I just think the writing for most of those Transformers films are horseshit. Pair him with a really good team of writers, and you'd have a masterpiece.

I can. I unironically like him. Not all of his films i enjoy, though. Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys 2 and Revenge of the Fallen were terrible, but The Island, Pain & Gain, 13 Hours and The Rock were excellent. Hell, The Rock shares the spot for my favorite movie next with fucking *BLADE RUNNER* With a strong script, Bay can direct a damn good movie and those latter films i listed are proof of that.

People just want to be seen as "cool" or "sophisticated" so Bay became an easy target.But who says you cannot enjoy gourmet food and burguers?The guy chose a lane where there is clearly an audience, otherwise he would be broke.Whenever his movies come out there other options at the theather.Nowadays people love to hat in packs :-) .You can be a pretentious douche and pretending to like some obscure czech film where nothing happens or be a genuine human being and enjoy everything CINEMA has to offer, which sometimes include a Michael Bay movie.

I have no issue with a fun action movie, but it still needs to have some form of entertainment. The humor is low brow, the characters are annoying and some borderline racist, his effects are nothing special and he overuses explosions to the point that they have no effect anymore. He appeals to the mass audience which as a whole are dumb and don't require any sort of intelligence when making a film. Die Hard was just a fun action movie and it is in my opinion one of the best written movies ever.

What's the song at 3:38?

I usually feel like the only person in the room when I say this, but Michael Bay is a cinema giant with talent to boot. He will ASSUREDLY retire from filmmaking as the highest grossing director in history, and that's his job. It's not to entertain you, it's to make his bosses money. He also directed Pain & Gain, and that's a goddamn good movie. This entirely boils down to people turning their nose up at mass culture. Hell, I'm guilty as hell of that when it comes to music, but I've learned enough about film to appreciate how the business works.

Damn, I'm early.

So hate him for being smart and unique in filmmaking? Also, hate him for influencing the majority of action films that we see today?

I only respect him for: He do what *explosion* he likes and for his nice quality *explosion* and for bad boys *explosion*

What I dislike about Michael Bay is that he has all the know-how and equipment to make some of the greatest movies ever made, but he just outright refuses to.

NOPE!!! I've seen countless films before he got his brake with Bad Boys doing what he does and better.. For the record I think Bad Boys is the only decent piece of work he's ever done. Sequel was shit the Transformers films are shit.. Pearl Harbour was shit.. The Island was shit.. Pain and Gain was shit.. And lets leave off with TMNT being shit as well.. Oh and the point about using a camera because it moves around being a Bay revolution is bogus as many directors have looked for that kind of camera movement.. And arguably the film that did the scene in question first and better was Children of Mens car scene. Peace *Drop the Mic*

Lol I can live with that I'm thankful I grew up with movies like transformers, pearl harbor, bad boys, not every movie needs to be deep and sophisticated people want to have a fun time and he delivers on that.

The fast pace and sudden slow motion was not a Bay invention. It was a technique made popular by Japanese anime. They even have a word for it. (Merihari)

If you don't like Michael Bay films then don't watch Michael Bay films

I like Bay more than most but some of your arguments are extremely flawed. 1. James Cameron praised his use of 3D as well. That being said, I've never heard any producers/critic/filmmaker praise his sense of storytelling. No one says Michael Bay cannot capture beautiful images, he definitely has a great eye, but he's a piss poor storyteller. He has no sense of pace or character development. And before you blame it on the scripts ; he's a producer. He gets to choose who writes his scripts. And as an example of a talented filmmaker, the script of Point Break is quite horrific, yet Katheryn Bigelow turned it into a classic. 2. I appreciate his no-compromise attitude. This argument is fine. 3. I don't see why I should respect the fact that he doesn't use storyboards and other techniques; they exist for a good reason. Maybe if he had used them in Transformers 4, I would have been able to tell what the fuck was fighting what during the action scenes. 4. The argument started fine, then you had to turn him into Hollywood White Martin Luther King Jr. He launched the career of Will Smith and we're all grateful for that (except people with no soul) but he's very glad to perpetuate Hollywood racism when his African American charicatures robots make Asian audiences laugh. He took a risk with Bad Boys, which I respect, but ultimately, he's just interested in making succesful movies, whether they appeal to young African American teenagers or racist Asian audiences. 5. No issue with this argument either. Will Smith is worth suffering the careers of Shia LaBeaf and Megan Fox. 6. While Bay is indeed one of the most influencial filmmakers of this generation, it doesn't really inspire respect in me. It just makes me disrespect his copycats. I'll add that while Michael Bay has no idea how to film an action scene, he's one of those directors who know how to use minimal CGI to improve his practical effects. It's not visible in his Transformers movies because giant robots are hard to do practically, but in all his other movies, he always make the right choices.

I agree with almost everything, but the sudden use of slow motion in action scenes comes from the films of Sam Peckinpah, specially The Wild Bunch. And who actually used it first was Arthur Penn in the final scene of Bonnie and Clyde.

I MET MICHAEL BAY A FEW WEEKS AGO, HE'S AN EXCELLENT MAN AND AN EVEN BETTER CONTENT CREATOR!!!!
