He is one of the greatest directors when it comes to summer blockbusters. Can't wait for Transformers 2.

Eye candy and name recognition. It seems that every movie he makes, they have to blast his name on the speaker... Like the first Transformers movie; "DIRECTED BY MICHAEL BAY!!!"

What about Star Trek and Terminator? Those two looks like great summer blockbusters, especially Star Trek, I had a lot of fun with that movie.

IMO, Armageddon sucked, Pearl Harbor sucked, Transformers was good, and I loved The Rock. But those are the only films of his that I've seen.

True. I wish I could say the same about Megatron. I mean, what is this?!

And he was a ****ing jet-ish-thing. :cry:

I would too. Having a bowl of cereal, then a hot girl walks up to you and starts to kiss you. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day.

He makes a lot of great action movies. I also think people expect too much from him, which is why he gets slammed a lot. He's a blockbuster director, not an Oscar winning director.

Michael Bay go away.

Well, in fairness, there was a good movie to be found somewhere in Transformers' 140 minutes -it would have had a runtime of around 70 mins.

And for the record, Uwe Boll could at least K.O. Bay in the ring. Now I'd pay to see THAT.

His films look pretty but that is pretty much it. They always have very shallow characters, bad plots, and are just overall bad to mediocre films in general. The Rock is a minor exception.

Blockbusters are the only films that he actually makes, which are all horrible.

I know that its the only thing he makes. The stories are lame, but the action is great, which is mainly what I care about for a Blockbuster.

I prefer a blockbuster film to at least have some depth, and a well written story. To each their own.

The creative writing and directing skills of a 13 year-old.

Transformers could have been awesome. But it was 5 parts too much teen-high-school drama and not enough "Autobots, ROLLOUT!"-Megatron-destroying-the-world transformer transforming shooting action. And the dude is known as a ****ing action movie guy who does nothing BUT explosions and action.
