(July 13, 2014 at 3:34 pm)Faith No More Wrote: No amount of justification attempts("I make movies for teenagers," really?) will cover the fact that Michael Bay is an absolute hack that would be out of a job if people weren't gullible enough to pay 30 dollars to see some scripted explosions.
He makes fun films. They are pleasurable, mindless and fun. He has rarely attempted to take his own films seriously(Pearl Harbor is the obvious exception). He essentially makes 80's video games if you think about it. Before video games became all "story orientated" and treated like dramas they were mindless creations intended to amuse the eyes.
Michael Bay does exactly this. I have an expectation when it comes to Michael Bay, he only does one thing very well and that is blow the absolute fuck out everything in a 3 mile radius of himself.
Oh and trust me, I have very low expectations for Michel Bay and he does have an impressive list of shitty films but when he does his usual thing then I am happy.
Another director/producer that reminds me of Bay is Zack Snyder. He is only capable of doing 1 thing very well but I admit Michael Bay exceeds his limits often times. Again, Pear Harbor is the most notable example.
