Quoted Text
    TRANSFORMERS movie - the director is set to quit the action franchise because he has “had enough” of making big budget blockbusters. The filmmaker helmed the original 2007 movie and returned this year with its sequel - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. But Bay, who is known for his explosive action sequences, is sick of receiving negative reviews from critics who dislike his movie-making style and is determined to move away from the genre.

    He says, “It’s easy to go shoot an art movie in a winery in the South of France. But people have no idea how hard it is to create something like Transformers. They (the critics) review me before they’ve even seen the movie.” And Bay admits that if film bosses give the go ahead for a third Transformers movie, they will have to find a different director. He adds, “After the three and a half years I’ve spent making these movies, I feel like I’ve had enough of the Transformers world. “I need to do something totally divergent, something without any explosions.”

Poor Michael Bay.  


Nevermind the crappy storyline, horrible attempts at humor and paper-thin characters (just to name a few).  He's right, the critics don't know what they're talking about.

I like Micheal Bay and all of his movies. Yes... even Pearl Harbor. There's no way he'd ever quit making action movies. I don't believe it.

I'm sorry, but that's just a dick thing to say.

Good point. haha. Oh well, someone has to defend Micheal Bay. Might as well be me.

Aaron, why'd YOU hate Pearl Harbor. Everyone bashes the movie constantly, but I really enjoyed. Very underrated.

Seriously, a "art movie in a winery in the South of France" isn't such a bad idea at all. I'm gonna start brainstorming...

No harm there.  

I have no problem with Michael Bay making films, I just found the quote that Aaron originally posted from him to be kind of pretentious.

It's cool that you liked it, it just didn't really do anything for me. It was like all the ingredients was there , but a bad meal was made, to put it like that

Rent the movieSideways.  It's a great movie about two friends visiting California's wine country before one of them gets married.

As writers, we should all be annoyed with that asshole Bay's remark.

But Bay, who is known for his explosive action sequences, is sick of receiving negative reviews from critics who dislike his movie-making style and is determined to move away from the genre.

So Michael Bay is a crybaby. Who would've thought...

Michael Bay won't stop making big budget blockbusters. I mean, the man doesn't know how to do anything else. But let's be reasonable here, he is very good at making that kind of movies. Are they thin on story? For the most part, yeah. Are they cheesy, cliched and corny? Absolutely.

But they're entertaining.

Everyone knows exactly what to expect from a Michael Bay movie when you sit down and watch it, so why all the hate? You wanna hate on anyone then start with the writer.


Quoted from Dressel
I'm sorry, but that's just a dick thing to say.

Why? He's not talking about the story or the final product, he's talking about the actual shoot. Of course a big budget action blockbusters like Transformer is going to be a harder shoot than filming a talky-movie at a winery in France. That doesn't mean it's going to be any better though.

And, personally, I thought The Rock was a fantastic action flick.

I'm on Michael Bay's side on this one, i'd rather watch the Rock over any arty film any day of the week, he knows how to shoot action and he can do it well, i'd like to see his critics shoot as well as him...lol, but we all know they can't

I agree Rob, well put. Although I haven't seen The Rock.

Phil, thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
