He's considered by his fellow directors as the top expert at blending practical effects and CGI. I guess it's something no one knows how hard to do it is unless they tried.
You're right, the skills are there. But the editing makes it impossible to see what is happening or his films are so fucking long I find it just washes over me and I don't remember or don't care what I'm watching.
You didn't mention that Transformers Dark of the Moon was nominated for Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects at the 84th Academy Awards.
"A genre for himself" wraps it up perfectly. This dude is a kinetic genious and visually one of the most talented directors of all time. Great someone finally got it right and appreciated his work.
A lot of his movies are schlock, but they’re just popcorn fun. Ambulance was great and when you see the actors that choose to work with him, from Connery to Hopkins to Gyllenhaal, you know if they have faith and trust in his work, you should give it a shot
"The rock", "The island" & the first "Transformers" movie are in my mind absolutely great movies meanwhile the others are maybe cheesy, dated or forced but they are always fun, entertaining or guilty pleasures like Bad boys 2 & Armageddon
Michael Bay is the Nickelback of filmmaking. We all act like we hate him, but behind closed doors, we can't help but watch these movies and think: "hell yeah, dude"
The wrap around shot of Smith and Lawrence in the original Bad Boys is one of the coolest shots ever. I think that shot alone was a big reason Smith became a megastar. Dude knows what looks cool and how to capture it
Yeah, I mean there was a market for what he is best at in the Movie business (Popcorn Action movies) and he met that demand which I guess you can’t fault him for that.
I can recall walking out of the theater with my friends when Transformers first came out back when I was in college and there were a couple of guys in their mid to late 40's walking out in front of us and one of them said to his buddy, " I'm telling you, Bay is BACK!". 🤣 Idk why that was funny to hear, but it was.
He does feel like the kind of alpha-chad broski guy that would get admiration like that. I remember reading an article about him and he like, lives the stereotypical Hollywood 'cars and chicks' lifestyle and makes zero apology for it.
Micheal Bay gave us one of the best Nic Cage action films which is "The Rock" and I salute him for making Transformers 1 and 2 lived-action. The 1st time I watched the 1st Transformers film it gave me goosebumps because it was an EPIC! theater experience.
I love him and all his films. Yeah some are just popcorn films but sometimes thats what you look for in films, to escape reality and enter into a fantasy world.
The Rock, Pain and Gain, Bad Boys 2, and Ambulance are absolute masterpieces! Bay is a master of shooting action, and any critic who calls him a terrible filmmaker should be ashamed of themselves.
Michael bay was pretty much destined to direct the transformer movies. His CGI and use of great fight sequences is whats needed in a transformers movie. Thats the whole purpose of transformers while keeping the story simple. Like DBZ
Michael Bay was no different than the directors of B-movie schlock who worked for Cannon Films in the 1980s, except Bay was backed by major Hollywood studios. He was the predecessor of Zack Snyder.
13 hrs is by far his best film he's made. Love him or hate him, he knows how to do action. I personally find his films entertaining as hell bar the Netflix film and a couple of Transformer films. He's a good director and one of the stand out directors of our time. Given how rubbish the majority of the far too many films that are made nowadays, I'll happily take a MB film any day.
13 Hours does not get nearly enough credit. The cast in it are excellent and the action is exactly what it needed for what the story is trying to portray.
Michael Bay is headed towards being the John Carpenter of action cinema. Critically bashed when came out, yet 20 years from now will be regarded as innovative and ahead of his time.
"Pearl Harbor" has still one of the best attack sequences in movie history. The whole full japanese attack sequences with all the explosions, the ship & the airplanes is something of phenomenal. Probably also Cuba gooding Jr last great film role😂
When I used to live in Miami, I went with a coworker to eat lunch in Coral Gables. We met her dad there because he worked out at a gym across the street. We were eating, and three guys came in and asked to speak with her dad. They told him Michael Bay noticed you, and wants to speak to you. I didn't see or meet him, but her dad got a part in Pain and Gain in the gym scenes. Lucky!!!!
Transformers 2 is what hurt him. He was set after 2007 to do "2012 War for Souls" or "Prince of Persia Sands of Time". Paramount wanted to jump on a sequel from the first Transformers success, Bay didn't want to right away, he said he was exhausted from working on the film for 5 years. Paramount told him they would find another director and Bay would loose all rights to the franchise. Bay immediately caved. I asked him if he was selling out, he literally said to me, "There is no such thing as selling out." That's when the Michael Bay I knew was gone for good.
Unironically one of my favorite directors. It's not high art but there will be always the term bayhem set into movie history. Also directors that tried to imitate his style weren't really successful
I absolutely love Michael Bay. I enjoyed his 90s movies as a kid but by the time the transformers movies came out, i was in college I became pretentious and claimed his movies sucked. Now that im older, I can admit to myself i love his movies and get excited for each new release. They're not perfect and the transformers get worse with each one, but I realize the skill he has in crafting insane action scenes. He's worked with so many great actors so clearly they have a respect for him as do most of the biggest directors in Hollywood. He's amazing and Bad Boys 2 is masterpiece.
I will always watch the Bayhem Transformers movies. Whether you love or hate his style of cinematic choices, Bay deserves credit for all the hard work he has done for the last 3 decades. So props to him for keeping the explosions coming alive. I still can’t believe Armageddon turns 25 this year.
@@mania4270 he’s more hands off. He’s done with directing Transformers. After 6 years of trying Hasbro finally decided to grant his. Which is honestly sad.
saw new Transformer movie, damn i missed Michael Bay. He is the king of action, i'll pay my eyes closed for the tickets for Michael bay movies. It may not be the perfect movie but i know i'm gonna have a blast
I appreciate the guy as he actually takes the time to get his hands dirty in the production of his own films. He screams around telling people what to do like a lazy director would but then personally film half of the entire camera film he's making
FYI, the reused scene in Transformers 3 from The Island was not due to budget constraints but because an extra was involved in an accident, so they decided not to use the footage.
Michael Bay is the closest we have to Tony and Ridley Scott's filmmaking style today. Those guys care about how cool the movie looks, they care about nice visuals, which is something lacking today.
I truly think it’s just the titles. I’m 40 and don’t pay much attention to director names when watching movies. I know it sounds simple but a poster pic and title always made my mind up when determining what I’d watch next time while walking through the theatre. I’ve apparently seen and loved a lot of his films. That’s a trip lol. The ones that didn’t do well in theatres had bad titles imo. Definitely saw 13 hrs and loved it, but not the ambulance or the other one. Anyhoot thanks for the upload!
His fellow directors admire his shots. I don't hate Michael Bay; he made a niche for himself and became a successful director. What I don't like is the effect it had on the industry where producers see his films make money and fund projects that are going to be more action oriented and less focused on story. There are several good directors like Nolan, Spielberg, Michael Mann or James Mangold, sometimes JJ Abrams, who can make an action movie that still can keep its characters as the main focus and Bay is not that. Still I respect him an awful lot. And I will admit, I kinda liked the attack scenes in Pearl Harbor (2001)
Michael Mann was at his best with Heat and The Insider, I personally didn’t like the digital look of Collateral and Public Enemies tho, his style looked a bit different and generic in those. I agree with what you said tho
Bay is one of the few directors making actual good action films. His stunts and actions are all real and in this age of CGI, playing it safe his films are a true joy.
>the hit novel Robopocalypse I call shenanigans. I read that book and have never ever ever ever ever ever ever heard anyone else ever even mention it until this video 22 years later.
He’s a damn genius in a master of his craft! I love his movies, and I’m a huge fan of the island even know it was a flop. One of my favorite, sci-fi, action movies of all time.
They will try to cancel him again and again and again. Michael Bay stands for everything modern Hollywood hates. So I hope he'll stand strong and will be able to continue making movies as long as he wants. Greetings from Germany :=)
I love these videos. They're informative and fun to watch.... to a point. Is the goofy narrater routine always necessary? There are a few I couldn't get through because of whomever was reading the content. Why not just find someone with a great narrating voice and just lay out the information? These videos would be so much better.
Michael Bay is a talented director. Does things no other director can do. Has the assertive leader qualities a lot of directors don't have... not sound like an ass kisser but he deserves more credit than he getsz
Bay makes popcorn flicks, and often they're just big dumb fun, which the film needs. Dark Of The Moon made the most money be ause it had stunning 3D. Yeah it was hokey in parts but dam it was awesome.
Movies in the 80's: A car explodes and the viewer says; cool, were is the reason. Movies in the 00+: A car blows up, and the viewer says; who cares, do we have more popcorn :-D
welp, that's a wierd pattern to see, critics like audience dislike but then there is critics dislike and audience like. this doesn't really add up, unless it's trandformers 5
Someone needed to tell Michael Bay that you can't generate artificial gravity on the MIR space station by spinning it around continuously. All you'd end up doing is having the occupants stuck on either side of the station by centrifugal force and unable to get from one end to the other.
like he said once. "i make movies for teenagers" that for me was enough. i go to the movies to turn my brain off and forget about reality for awhile and mr bay its the perfect way to do that. Bruce willis is my fav actor ever and armageddon its my fav movie of him. Bay knew bruce willis face its perfect for the camera, like tarantino said once, "he has that 1950's movie star face and Bay took advantage of that. its a perfect movie to ignore the entire world and cry a little cause of that unique heroic ending.
Perhaps the critics were too harsh on Michael Bay. Perhaps it was criticism that pushed the franchise over the edge. I've always believed to let the artist paint undisturbed.
Micheal Bay knows what he’s doing he knows his films ain’t anything special but what he dose is deliver some the best action I’ve ever seen put to screen. Yes the story may not be good the plot dosnt make sense but hell you can’t say you weren’t entertained watching a Bay movie. He still one the only directors that goes practical whenever he can and uses cgi when there’s no other choice. He’s the only director that got permission to film the space shuttle twice once in Armageddon and then again in Transformers 3. The military love Bay because he shows the military very accurate in his films. James Cameron complimented Bays work on Transformers 3 especially with the 3D and stated it was the best 3D experience he’s ever had. James Cameron the guy that’s pushed for 3D for so long said that. Bay makes fun popcorn flicks that everyone remembers. When Steven Spielberg and Jerry Bruckheimer and James Cameron are all giving Bay praise that’s not a fail that’s a win you’ve done something right.
Michael bay is the only director I ever knew growing up because of the action and cinematic endings😂 he definitely knows what he’s doing and needs a comeback
I'd just like to add that Michael Bayvwad also an Executive Producer on the highly underrated Starz pirate show Black Sails. Fantasic ahow with awesome production value and great performances.
in short, he is still doing good (even better than ever). Ambulance was his best movie in yeaes, and really shows how he has improved and matured in his direction style. he is no more the sexualized product placement Bay anymore. and currently he is working for his next project, there I'll save your 27 minutes from watching this
I respect him more than I like him. He knows how to get an audience into theaters and his explosions are awesome, but his product placements can be a bit much and Transformers 2 is just terrible in every way (on and off screen) To be fair, he did direct one of the greatest commercials of all time
There is a theory that Michael Bay is basically a big fan of the Coen Brothers, which is supported by the fact that he works with actors who were in the films of those independent filmmakers (The most obvious example: John Turturro). To me, that was just a coincidence, until I saw "Pain and Gain" which in some ways resembles a Coen brothers movie: a story of petty criminals who get involved in a kidnapping that goes wrong.

He's considered by his fellow directors as the top expert at blending practical effects and CGI. I guess it's something no one knows how hard to do it is unless they tried.
I'd put James Cameron films especially T2 as the top of the heap for blending CGI and practical VFX
You're right, the skills are there. But the editing makes it impossible to see what is happening or his films are so fucking long I find it just washes over me and I don't remember or don't care what I'm watching.
Chris Nolan laughing in the corner
Yes! Finally someone noticing it.
What??
Unlike many directors that make bombastic flicks without knowing what they're doing
Michael Bay knows exactly what he's doing
Stone Cold Steve Austin: Give me a hell Yeah!
Yeah! We're just worry that all his talents and skills are wasted thanks to the follow-ups of his Transformers trilogy
I think you got it backwards. His movies are completely all action -based id and he doesn’t know how to pace them.
I'm a huge Michael Bay fan and I'm not ashamed of it.
He's a fantastic director
He's fukn awesome.
No shame here brother be proud
Me too ambulance was fantastic movie
Me too..The first movie that I every saw was his (in 3D) and I was only 9 at that time and I loved it
80% of Michael bays films, are my all time favorite movies that I rewatch regularly sometimes.
Not ashamed!
You didn't mention that Transformers Dark of the Moon was nominated for Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects at the 84th Academy Awards.
"Multiple Oscar-nominated Transformers Dark of the Moon" never thought you'd hear that did you.
The first title of Transformers was also got nominated for those 3 categories
As a director he definitely gives you the most bang for you buck and gives you a rush whenever you watch his movies.
"A genre for himself" wraps it up perfectly. This dude is a kinetic genious and visually one of the most talented directors of all time. Great someone finally got it right and appreciated his work.

Who are the others in ur list?
Hope Christopher Nolan is on that list
@@yeetbro3659

The Island is really underrated imho, I really like this movie.
Bad Boys 1 is also really good.
Watched the 1st Transformers awhile back and was like "Holy Shit! This is actually watchable and enjoyable."
Imo all of his movies are guilty pleasures

Michael Bay is madly underrated and it pisses me off. He is master of action. Transformers is a masterpiece
Dark of the moon is a very underrated film
He makes garbage for dum-dums.
I don't care what critics and other people say I love his work, his movies. The Island is one of the best action movies ever made ...
As much as people criticize him, audiences helped make him 1 of the most successful filmmakers out there
Unfortunately half of all people are of below average intelligence and these people LOVE Michael Bay.
Yeah, I mean there was a market for what he is best at in the Movie business (Popcorn Action movies) and he met that demand which I guess you can’t fault him for that.
I'll roast Bay movies but I do tend to enjoy them as well
Just shows how low the bar was set for audiences.
People praise him he made well received movies that were not as successful
I understand how rough the scripts and acting performances were, but they are all visually stunning. How could you give Micheal Bay "worst director"
His films are more style then substance but sometimes we just want a fun action movie
Wow he was on a roll with his first movies bad boys, the rock and armageddon are absolute classics
I can recall walking out of the theater with my friends when Transformers first came out back when I was in college and there were a couple of guys in their mid to late 40's walking out in front of us and one of them said to his buddy, " I'm telling you, Bay is BACK!". 🤣 Idk why that was funny to hear, but it was.

@@hawkzulu5671 Why am I not surprised?
Armageddon may be dated or cheesy but is still so fun, action packed & awesome in some points. Excellent cast & special effects
Even tho half the actors hated the movie bruce Willis,ben affleck, bob Thornton and steven buscemi

13 Hours is clutch
He's the best Modern Action Director post 80s.

Michael Bay is headed towards being the John Carpenter of action cinema. Critically bashed when came out, yet 20 years from now will be regarded as innovative and ahead of his time.
I always wondered what would happen if a world class writer and bay teamed up
I always wanted this to happen. It would definitely be interesting.
The world can't handle that much awesome.
Too much to ask for from reality. Its rare
Bay would probably take a massive dung all over his script.
"Pearl Harbor" has still one of the best attack sequences in movie history. The whole full japanese attack sequences with all the explosions, the ship & the airplanes is something of phenomenal. Probably also Cuba gooding Jr last great film role😂

Silly question: Does anyone know what happened at that Samsung conference?

Michael Bay. ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DIRECT
I dont care what people say about Michael Bay his movies are entertaining
He was working some practical fx for a passion project titled Tavo Tuesday and blew himself to bits like Wile E. Coyote.
Well Bay kinda predicted the gi joe transformer crossover.
I respect him more than I like him. He knows how to get an audience into theaters and his explosions are awesome, but his product placements can be a bit much and Transformers 2 is just terrible in every way (on and off screen)
To be fair, he did direct one of the greatest commercials of all time
One of My Fav Directors.
His practical effects use is the best.
He's the 🐐
Bad Boys 2 is FUKN AWESOME
He’s a director for a particular audience
No mention of his produced television series The Last Ship??
what was that crash scene at the start from? looks wild for lack of safety
I'd like him more if he doesn't rely so much on shaky cam and explosions
There is a theory that Michael Bay is basically a big fan of the Coen Brothers, which is supported by the fact that he works with actors who were in the films of those independent filmmakers (The most obvious example: John Turturro). To me, that was just a coincidence, until I saw "Pain and Gain" which in some ways resembles a Coen brothers movie: a story of petty criminals who get involved in a kidnapping that goes wrong.
