The Rock (1996) was good, I consider it a good movie but WTF HAPPENED after that. As technology gets better, his movies seem to get worse. Armegeddon was so so, but then came Pearl Harbor, probably one of the worst movies of all time. Then "The Island", which I heard terrible things about and then Transformers, which was undeniably terrible. Then he had to remake Friday the 13th, The Birds, Nightmare on Elm Street and pretend to be a great director. Then comes Transformers 2, so bad, I still can't watch the hold thing. This is where less technology and CGI = better for michael bay, so he can stop butchering the movie industry

The Rock...Armageddon...The Island THE REST FAIL!!!
I think that the Transformers movies are good, people are just expecting too much from them. It's a Michael Bay movie, it's going to have twice as much special effects than a story.
Actually, the idea and premise behind The Island was pretty good. The whole begining was great at setting up the film, then they [spoiler] ESCAPED [/spoiler] and that's where the whole movie turned into forgettable, generic futuristic meh.
[QUOTE="Silent-Hal"]I though the first Transformers was alright. Transformers 2 was pretty awful though. karriston
They were kind of the same = / . Not really. The first one actually had some likable qualities to it. With T2 it seems like he decided to pump up everything about that movie instead of just focusing on what worked, resulting in a complete mess of a film.
You can't blame him for making the movies suck. I mean, he was the creative drive behind the whole thing for the most part as the director, but think about all the people that work on a film. It's possible an executive producer wanted the movie to be more hollywood or something, which means more special effects. I'm talking about Transormers here btw.

The premise is good because it is pretty much a huge rip off of much better sci-fi like Brave New World and the work of Phillip K. Dick.

Michael Bay is a powerful man and a man who pretty much does what he wants. Yes, we can blame him for the lackluster quality of his work.

And yeah, Pearl Harbor was trash.

All those movies are completely different genres and you don't like any of them? Somehow I don't think so... What movies do you like?
I like all the movies of his i've seen. If you hate him so much why do you continue to sit down and watch them? Just ignore them completely then leave the people who actually do like his movies alone, everybody has different tastes and yours doesn't apply to everyone.
He's a pretty bad director. The only Michael Bay movies I like are Transformers 1 and 2, but maybe that's just because I've been a Transformer fanboy all of my life.
