This was a great Q & A man, because Bay has never done anything like this before. Many people always assumes he's some ''too cool for school'' director that just makes films for money, but in stuff like this you can just see that he makes the films he makes because he loves making films, and he's talking about them like a little kid. And with all the creative shots in his films, you can see that that's his mindset, and I love it. Imo, even though he's made extremely successful films, Bay is crazy underrated. Most people just say stuff like his films are just; explosions, 260 shots and slo-mo's. But there is so much to his films that make them a true Bay film. From blocking, to cinematography, to lighting, color grading, sound design, all that. And I love that with something like this, he's finally getting some love. Because people and especially critics love to trash on this guy hard, harder than almost any other director, and why?! Something like Fast and the Furious also doesn't receive this level of hate, and those films don't come even close to having any real style or a unique eye behind them, no vision. So it's awesome to see him just talk and to hear all these awesome stories of his, and you could tell that he loved being there. Man, in a time when so many films look the same, boring, flat, desaturated, nothing shot practical anymore and just things shot on sound stages, we NEED someone like Bay. Someone that does it the old fashion way, a dying art imo. And don't forget how without Bay, we we would've not had a lot of things we have now. I mean, the first director to star two black actors as leading men on his FIRST film, broke ground in terms of CGI in films, the end battle in the first Avengers film is pretty much a rip off of TF3's ending battle, and just so many careers from actors that now are huge all started with Bay, and so much more. Great vid, loved it.
That doesn’t mean that his movies are that great. He makes great scenes. But great scenes don’t always make a great movie. Great movies require good pacing and intelligent scripts.
Michael Bay= Natural born entertainer. Both on and off the screen. Love the way he works the crowd and gets them involved, even though he dosen't have to. Little gestures like these are much appreciated.
I'm so happy that I'm not the only Michael Bay fan in the world. He made a lot of my childhood movies that are important to me cos of sentimental values
I think some people just think it's cool to hate on him when really I've yet to see a good argument from them to what they really hate about him and hey his films clearly aren't for everyone there certainly for me as I love and adore his movies 😁
I love Michael. I grew up on Bad Boys 1 and 2. People don't understand that Bay is one of the best action directors of all time. I like all of his films, expect Transformers because I'm not a sci-fi guy.
There are like haters for any reason, but if u enjoy his movies then cool. guessing that the same for any director who made any movies, u got haters and those who liked the movies for any reason.
i wish i had a dad like michael bay i looked up to him so much as a kid and as i get older i fall in love with his movies they’re so creative and beautiful
The most awesome in-depth interview. Cant believe it only has 9k views! My fantasy is Nolan and Bay teaming up with Nolan directing everything but the action scenes.
Collider this q&a was freakin awesome im one of the biggest Michael Bay fans you'll ever meet so I truly loved and enjoyed this so much I'm always on the look for Michael Bay interviews this was one of the best 👌 little disappointed that nobody in the audience asked him about bad boys 2 or the island but what can you do but great questions none the less and awesome q&a no the less 👍👌😁
@@trevorhagen4011 ah nice man seriously thanks for asking him that question cause Ive always been curious to see a Michael Bay style horror film if he were to ever make one so super cool that you asked him that man 👍😁
I was curious about that film also there was also rumours about him doing a DC movie called Lobo years ago I'd say that's come and gone probably now 🤷♂️
Outside of Pearl Harbor, which is an unmitigated disaster of a film, Michael Bays filmography is actually quite impressive. Lot of great movies in there and ones I frequently find myself going back to quite often. Really glad he did this Q&A!
That was really interesting to watch - thanks! It did make me chuckle how he starts to answer a question, turns into an annecdote and then forgets the question, haha.
facts Tranformers 2 is one of my personal favorites but the first one will forever top it because i remember when that movie was first announced in late 2006 early 2007 the Burger King commercial when Optimus actually ordered a whopper 🤣😂 I was 9 at the time turned 10 in 2007 childhood memories
So am I my theory is because critics have disliked aspects of his movie's throughout his whole career so maybe that trend just carried on overtime even Michael said once that he sat down with a big critic for lunch once and he straight up asked why do you guys go after me and his response was cause you had way to much sucess way to young which is laughable to say the least alot of critics are parasites anyway but no one has to care about that I think he's one of the greatest action directors of all time and he makes movie's I love and I want to see
@@ethanholgate2512 tbh, success must come with age. And Michael's movies are all style, no substance. That's Why I say you are not a director until you reach 40.
here’s my honest opinion for one I think because he’s not the typical filmmaker in Hollywood that makes what they want him to make which is all that flamboyant ass shit most of his movies I’ve looked at have all been critically panned with negative reviews tranformers revenge of the fallen was nominated for like 5 razzie awards (meaning award for worst picture, worst actor, Director) and I never understood because I personally loved the movie!!! anyways he gets all this neglect but the interesting part he’s one of the highest grossing film directors of our time topping over $5 billion I think the simple answer is he doesn’t adide by what they want he does what he wants which is why true bay fans like myself love his movies Bad Boys trilogy is my favorite hands down yet both of them received negative reviews but weak ass Bad Boys 3 gets critical acclaim reviews also saying it’s the best one in the franchise which I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH and here’s the funny part he didn’t direct that Movie he served as Executive producer but not director and I always found that odd even real fans kno Bad Boys 3 was weak less explosions weak plot film doesn’t even fit the category to even be a sequel it fills more like a spin off he’s just naturally talented gifted filmmaker and director and what I admire the most about him and most people don’t see it even tho it’s right there HE’S ALWAYS HANDS ONE WITH THE CAMERA he doesn’t fully rely on the DP or Cam Op he gets exactly what he see’s so imo he gets hate because he makes Movies that aren’t made anymore Ambulance is a DAMN GOOD MOVIE even tho it’s predictable and some parts made me shake my head that’s how I knew it was a good movie
@@EDJK michael bay has his own style, like most of directors. The only difference is this where you are wrong, his movies are purely made for commercial, pop corn use. And he makes what THEY want him to make because they know he is money grabber. Even he admitted he makes movies for teenage boys. The truth is, movies are typically made for everyone. And his movies are for everyone, because of commerciality of them. Hence why he was always critically ridiculed. I certainly don't see what is worth in Tarantino:s movies, but he gets constant praise. To ask someonr that, he would call me rube. Bay strengths are not good scripts, finding proper dramatic moment or to tell a deep engrossing. Ambulance I am not gonna even trty to watch, but it's his weakest film for sure. But I liked Bad Boys 4 Life, but hate what they did to Will Smith's character. I love most of Bay movies but I also acknowledge and admit why is he hated.
I've always wondered how those stupid animals at the Oscar Academy gave the special effects award to a trashy movie like The Golden Compass that no one remembers now. The award was the right of the Transformers. Damn the academy.
@@Largentina. I'm sure lots of people in extraordinary positions are super-normal... Point is that a pro quarterback isn't a good example of a normal person :P
Michael Bay was the worst choice for Transformers, hearing him talk about it at the beginning of this video just reaffirms what horrible choice he was.
I like his transformers movies, but man he have a hard time talking about them. The interviewer’s second question was if he would have changed the storyline of the sequels if he could have come back. And Bay just rambles about test screening experience of the first transformers movies. Says the exact same thing as he did in the first transformers question…
@@believer4002 I agree, but to be fair, every one of those movies have terrible scripts. Nobody could make a good movie out of those atrocious screenplays.

Bay is an auteur. A true genius.
watch more movies bro
@@TxxT33 make one. I've made a few. I know what he's doing from a technical standpoint. Extremely rare. Extremely genius.
Not gonna lie, a Michael Bay-directed horror film sounds genuinely interesting to me. I'd definitely watch that.
Hell yeah especially with his style of intensity and thrill ride on the edge of your seat that he can do so well I think that would be awesome
Expect plenty of gunplay and explosions.
Didn’t he do the purge? Which I guess is horror
@@matthewgrear3260 as producer. He produced many horror movies.
There's a news that he's gonna make one with post Malone ...it's set on medival times and it's based on a comic(I think)
i wish i had a dad like michael bay i looked up to him so much as a kid and as i get older i fall in love with his movies they’re so creative and beautiful
Michael Bay is the best
The first 4 transformers movies are big guilty pleasures of my

That was my question! :)

@@ethanholgate2512 he was in talks with wb,dc to direct lobo look at the Hollywood reporter.
I really hope that film comes to fruition. Sounds amazing and with Spielbergs involvement with the sets Bay mentioned, it has a ton of potential.

I Love It When He Says Where Are You Going 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
What a legend
Between Pain and Gain, and Ambulance...he's my guy...he is on to a real fucking thread
This is just great
52:18 I have a great answer to that he should have directed Die Hard 5 Imo
legend.
excellent questions too.
Legend was directed by Ridley Scott, not Michael Bay.
Bay: where you going lol
2:30 😂😂😂 Agreed tho!!!
Just love you❤
Pain & Gain is an underrated movie. I think his best is The Rock. But my favorite is Pain & Gain.
wow Michael Bay has some die-hard fans.. Didn't know that
Losers.
Course he does 😎👊🤘

I wish he did Black Hawk Down.
He kind of did…it’s called 13 Hours.

They couldnt afford two mics?
They slaughtered Ratchet!
53:58 there are females in this audience?

Because he makes movies for teenage boys.
