  • Michael Bay is a very divisive director. His high-octane and over-the-top style is completely love or hate for movie audiences. Here is how I rank all 15 of his movies.

    Michael Bay movies are like fast food. Everybody likes to shit on them, but when they’re good, they are super enjoyable, despite having no substance to them. When they’re bad though, they’ll make you want to vomit.
    EDIT: I would say The Rock is like a delicious burger and fries from an actual legit restaurant, though. Definitely his best work. Top ten action movie of all time, in my opinion.

  • @bobcobb3654
    @bobcobb3654 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    The reason Bay’s first 2 films are better paced is because at that point, he was a director for hire and Jerry Bruckheimer had the last word on his style choices and the final edit. Look at any of Bruckheimer’s movies starting with Top Gun, and you see that he and Tony Scott set the visual template that Bay and Simon West and others had to work within. On Bad Boys, it’s really noticeable (you could have told me Tony Scott directed that one and I’d believe it), then on The Rock, the template was still there, but Bruckheimer started loosening the reigns. Around Pearl Harbor and after, that’s when Bay started getting near total creative control, and that’s when his filmmaking weaknesses start to show, particularly his tin ear for dialogue and tendency to go about 30 minutes longer than the movie needs to be.

    The Rock is awesome. I always find myself comparing it to Con Air, another mid-'90s Jerry Bruckheimer-produced, Nicholas Cage-starring action film. In Con Air, Nick Cage is such a simple, straight-laced good guy that it almost robs him of his charisma as an actor. Cage's character in The Rock isn't traditional action hero material, but he's still more than capable of holding his own with Sean Connery. I was rooting for him the whole time, but it didn't go so far as to make him seem cheesy or wonderbread.

    My Top 5 Michael Bay films are:

    02. The Rock
    03. 13 Hours
    04. Transformers
    05. Ambulance

  • @mkd58media
    @mkd58media 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Great breakdown, I pretty much agree with the entire list, particularly the top 3. The car carrier chase from BB2 still gets the adrenaline pumping, I remember seeing it in the theater and the audience LOVING that scene. But I agree, the first BB is better, and The Rock pretty much has to be #1.
    On a side note, up until recent months, I thought Michael Bay directed Con Air for some reason. I guess it was the Jerry Bruckheimer connection. Anyways, good stuff Cody!

      Best transformers movie it has the best action

    • @metalftw9652
      @metalftw9652 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For me I find:
      The first Transformers film, while still a bit silly, is actually pretty good.
      ROTF takes a considerable dip in quality and the humour is piss awful, despite having some pretty good action scenes (the Forest fight is one of the best of the series)
      Dark of the Moon is by a landslide the best since the first, action is the best and most violent in that one for me, definitely the most epic, but the Sam job side of things (which I feel we spend too much time on) is to quote Deadpool the game ‘It’s SOO BORING! *starts crying*’
      Age of Extinction was pretty bad and FAR too long, nearly 3 hours. Too much, especially for one that wasn’t massively interesting and the selling point of the Dinobots were barely in the film. But it does have its moments.
      The Last Knight, I don’t just dislike, I fucking despise this one. This is definitely my least favourite of the live action films (maybe even in TF, period), mainly because although the series retconned itself from film to film, this one takes it too far and the main reason I hate this one is it’s…well for a lack of better words, insulting. Bad and boring is worrying enough, but insulting? You’ve completely lost me. The only thing I like is Megatron and his design. Everything else I don’t like, surprisingly not even Prime (and Peter Cullen Prime is one of my favourite characters period). The whole Nemesis Prime angle REALLY didn’t work here and this is how you introduce Unicron? You can tell I hate this film by how much I’m ranting on it, but I’m done (I’ll be here all k-night otherwise and that joke is funnier than anything in ROTF)

    Bay used to be the perfect combination of action spectacle and check your brain at the door movies.
    Even Pearl Harbor I loved because the actual Pearl Harbor attack was such an amazing sequence that it was worth waiting through the threesome romance crap.
    Then Transformers took over his career.. I fell asleep during the 4th one, pretty amazing to fall asleep in a huge theater with loud bangs every 10 seconds, so that's really saying something. Since then, I kinda stopped paying attention to Bay
    Out of the ones I've seen, my ranking would be pretty close to yours though!

Dark of the Moon, Sentinel Prime’s character, the highway chase, Optimus’s trailer, & the battle of Chicago. Age of Extinction, Mark Wahlberg’s character, Lockdown & Cemetery Wind, & the Dinobots. The Last Knight, the opening scene, Nemesis Prime, & Dragonstorm. Those were the reasons I enjoyed the sequels.

    My favorite Michael Bay films are Bad Boys, The Rock, Transformers, and 13 Hours. The action was excellent in those 4 films.
    One of Michael Bay's greatest weaknesses is the increase in sexual jokes and innuendo that happen in the sequels he makes, case in point Bad Boys 2 and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The former's are so cringe-worthy I just skip them and the latter's made me quit halfway through that film.

      Dude Armageddon is a horrible movie it deserves a negative 0.5/5 it makes no sense whatsoever it has hollow charachters distracting editing and dialogue that lands with a hard thud that makes critics groan as well as action scenes while exiting are too bewildering and sloppy to enjoy it’s just as bad as revenge of the fallen if not worse than age of extinction and the last knight I hated too of those movies

    I really like The Rock, I think the concept for The Island is fantastic, and I actively avoid everything else.
    I saw the first Transformers and didn’t care for it. I fell asleep during the second one at the theater. Haven’t seen the rest.
    Suspense and tension get me excited. With action movies I tend to check out of everything feels weightless. No punch or realism. They just look like cartoons to me. And I hate rapid editing that tries to add extra kinetic movement (like the Bourne flicks). Die Hard and Heat are examples of movies where the action feels present or heavy/weighty. Realistic I guess. It has punch rather. When Bourne Identity gets going I look away from the screen until it’s calm again.

    Good ranking. I'm not a Bay fan, just not into his directing style. I completely agree with you on The Rock, that movie is great. I didn't enjoy Transformers so I skipped the sequels, seems I dodged a bullet. 🤣. I didn't know he did Pearl Harbor, I couldn't get into that movie at all.

    Saw Pearl Harbor in the theater. Waded through all the boring love story and right when we got to the start of the attack the film broke down and we had to evacuate the theater while they fixed it. We all started talking about how the war part was why we went and the love story sucked and laughed about how when the stuff we wanted started the move broke 😂. Some people left. I went back in and watched the rest. Totally broke the momentum. Haven’t watched it since. There’s a good war movie in there somewhere but I can’t get past the love triangle 🤨
