Merrick here...



Michael Bay talked to Collider about numerous things, including his latent desire to expedite a "hostile takeover" of that site, how he got permission to shoot on the pyramids in Egypt, and whether or not he'd want to come back for a third TRANSFORMERS film.

    by shonin

    From the trailer it looks like Transformers 2 will suck as much dick as the previous movie...Bay needs to bow out and admit that he is a hack and give the gig to a different more talented director. Fuck this movie and fuck Transformers 3 if he and the same cunt writers are involved.

    Because he sucks so bad as a director and overall representative of the human race is why Transformers was a complete flop. It pulled in a measely $319M domestic and $708M worldwide. Thank God that all these haters go to his movies to throw popcorn at the screen and laugh at his childish attempt at movie making! FUCK MICHAEL BAY! Morons.

    I like Michael Bay. He seems like a cool guy, besides the attemped Bay-punch a few times. The teaser for TF2 showed us its going to be a bigger movie and whats not to like about that? I have a feeling its gonna kick ass. The first one had its problems but its still an enjoyable movie. So what they changed the designs? So what megatron had a vagina-face? The first scene with Blackout landing and then transforming is classic, gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it.

    Transformers sorta turned me into a Bayhem fan, but I don't think he can compete with James Cameron. The reason his movies work so well is that they are love stories at their core. The fact that he's one of the best movie directors around contributes somewhat.

It would have been even beter had Megatron turned himself into a gun like the cartoon so that when he escaped from the Cryo chamber he could have just laid there........FUCKING AWESOME!!!

    Transformers

    by oaser

    Sucked. The movie was terrible. Was it terrible because of the effects? No! Was it terrible because of the action? No! It was terrible because of the characters -- the movie vacillates between moments where the characters are serious and important, and then shows them to be bumbling 'tards. Plus, there's this "line, line, punchline" thing going on. For example: "This is my place of zen" [Grandmother in the background] "Shut up, Grandma!" And another: "This is way cooler than Armageddon!" This movie BLOWS!! I look forward to the robots, but without good writers, you just have a CGI mess. I don't think there's as many haters as people think there are -- I think people were just genuinely disappointed. What's wrong with dissension? People can disagree if they want. It doesn't make them "haters."

They accomplish was they are supposed to...popcorn fun and entertainment. do they have some flaws...all movies do. if you don't like the movies, don't contribute to the box office. You're all a bunch of fucktards complaining about a director and still paying to see the movie.

    Uh, the Island sucked too

    by toughguyrizzo

    Fuck Mikey Bay as well. I swear I'd let him punch me so I could destroy him.

    As for a different TF director? Hmmmm, Maybe Nolan? If he isnt gonna do bats 3 anytime soon, I think he could bring some credibility to the series. Not sayin it's gonna happen, but I'd like to see his take on it. Another choice would be David Fincher or Woody Allen (psyche!)

    People saw TF to see if it was going to suck or not. Guess what, it did. And we can complain about not getting quality for the fuckin price of a movie ticket today.

    Plus, this was a cartoon show many people loved growing up as a kid. This fag took an idea, where in current day hollywood is scraping for any kind of movie to be made and he makes up his own shit. He disregards what the characters we loved as children and just fucked it all to hell.



    If I say fuck michael bay again are you do something? Nope. so guess what?

    FUCK. MICHAEL. BAY.

    A decade from from now they will "reboot" the Transformers franchise and get Robert Zemeckis to make a mo-cap Transformers movie that looks just like the old cartoons. Until then, let's just sit back and enjoy the Bayhem, huh? Such pretty explosions.

    What kind of Transformers movie do people want ?

    by miyamoto_musashi

    Granted Bay's effort wasn't fantastic, had its moments though.
    But am concerned that some people have a warped perception of the cartoon, the age group it was aimed at and the type of stories that they told.
    I was a big fan when I was kid, like I was with Knight Rider and A Team, but when I have gone back and watched the later 2 I realised they aren't exactly Godfather Part 2.
    My personal gripe with the movie is that its about humans with some robots and not the other way around, and clearly companies like Pixar can make robots "human" enough so it doesn't need to be so human centric to get the connection with the audience that the director/writers are aiming for.

    Michael Bay

    by 420 boylston st

    I'm glad to see Michael Bay hang lose with a fan who loves his work--like myself. I love Bay and his films and Transformers was such a big weight off his shoulders. Megan Fox was so hot and he made her look more hotter than she is and what can I say I loved the way the film thrilled me and made me laugh. I'm glad he's pushing himself in making a darker picture and be as just fun as the last ride.

    I do think this will be his last Transformers film and he will eventually move on to do other projects. Maybe a reunion with Martin Lawrence and Will Smith.

    I get that he's all self aware and all and you know he may be the Zaphod fuckin Beeblebrox of the film industry in terms of "cool"
    ...but his movies are still SHIT
    sure, people continue to put money in his pocket and unfortunately that means he will continue to churn out this SHIT at least for the foreseeable future - but you are on some serious mind altering drugs if you believe his movies are anything but SHIT

    Look to the recent reboot/adaptation Transformers Animated to see what we want. The same goes for G.I. Joe: Resolute, which is wowing the fans, instead of the crap clips we've seen of the live-actioner.

    by bouncy x

    oh my word.....the end times are definately here. terrible designs aside, whoever thought that turning the transformers into a 5 member hero team fighting no name villains/monsters of the week was a good idea needs a new career. but i will give them credit in one place, the toys. i've never seen such screen acurate toys from this franchise before...who woulda thought these designs would be that easy to replicate.

    Re: What kind of Transformers movie do people want ?

    by zyuray2

    Christ, why does everyone respond with "Transformers is not Godfather 2" whenever it's criticized? Get this straight - no one is asking for Godfather 2. No one is asking for Shakespeare. What are we asking for? A kick ass robot movie with great action, cool characters, and funny one-liners. Bay's Transformers had none of that. Instead, it gave us incomprehensible action sequences, atrocious character designs, wholly unlikable characters and unfunny comedy. Do we have a warped view of the Transformers we grew up with? I don't think so. I've seen the series recently on DVD, and it delivered in ways Bay's Transformers could not. Plus, the animated Transformers movie blows Bay's movie away so badly it's not even funny.

    for anyone who is constantly saying "f" michael bay. How many of his movies have you seen? How many will you continue to see...and still complain. I would have much more respect for some who says...F michael bay and then follows through and doesn't contribute to the Box OFfice...I will go as far as to best some of you even OWN dvd's of the same movies you are blasting on here for being directed by Bay.

    Criticism is one one. Hypocracy is another.

    and for you who said we go see it to see if it was good or not. Your stupid ass posted F michael bay even before it came out and you know it.

    Praising it, indeed. Hallelujah. Personal tastes about design aside, and a lack of argument why having an overcrowded team where certain characters always get short shrift (I'm looking at you, Blue/Silverstreak) is a superior concept also aside, I'll give you that the super/meta/enhanced humans seem awkward at first, though it does give them an edge against the bots so they aren't always the fleeing terrorized puny men of monster movies of yore. Whoever writes it should get a promotion for writing a 'toon geared toward kiddies that has a sharp wit, compelling, continuing plot threads, a respect for the original series' concepts, characterizations, and plot arcs while cleverly adapting and updating them. The only weak point for me is the quality of the outsourced animation fluctuates, but that is a quibble.

    Being held by a dwarf, or did the interviewer have his knee pads on, if you know what I mean. Bay came off like a Jackass especially when talking about seeing Optimus Prime in Imax cos guess what, you still won't be able to see what the hell is going on.
