I like Armageddon. I mean the rock and transformers were a lot better but I don't see why so many people hate Armageddon. Decent cast okay plot good effects. Not an award winner but definetly entertaining. Now pain and gain is something to be ashamed of.

watchable : Transformers, Badboys, The island, the rock, Transformers 3 and Bad boys 2 were sorta watchable

No thanks : Armageddon, transformers 2, Pearl harbor, all of those sucked

I always thought of Pearl Harbor as an altrrnate interpretation of the actual event. I didn't mind TF2. I didn't care for Armageddon and Bad Boys II.

Bad Boys II and Armageddon are by far Bay's weakest. I just rrally couldn't get into them.

Every single one of his movies sucked fucking ass. And I've seen all of them apart from the transformer sequels.

I enjoyed the first Transformers movie. And I want to check out The Rock. But apart from those, the rest of his filmography doesn't interest me.

The only two Bay films I like: Transformers 1 and The Rock. Everything else is terrible especially Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which is my least favorite movie of all time.

The only film of Michael Bay that I liked was the first Transformers, and I really want to see The Rock. And while I don't have anything against the guy, I don't know why the movie info of Pain & Gain calls him an "acclaimed director", because let's be honest, he isn't the best director in La La Land.

He's nowhere near the best but he's far from the worst.

Well, he did kind of wreck the horror genre with his Platinum Dunes remakes, starting with TCM. I think the success of it started the horror remake craze of the 2000's and on.

That is unforgivable.

Apr 24 - 11:13 AM

John Tyler

Tylerambo: First John Part II

Well, he didn't DIRECT them. The point I was proving is that he's not bad as a DIRECTOR. Also, the thread said that his Platinum Dunes films don't count if you're ranking Bay's films.

Apr 24 - 12:05 PM

David Tanny

Yeah, I was aware. He is an okay director. I just thought I'd bring it up because...well...it's a big reason why I'm not overly fond of Bay. Just contributing discussion...

There were more Platinum Dunes films I didn't like than I did like. Texas Chainsaw was good, Friday the 13th was decent, and Elm Street was just okay. TCM: The Beginning was mediocre, The Amityville Horror was sub-par, The Hitcher was bullshit, Horsemen was boring, and The Unborn was crap. But I'll admit, I'm looking forward to The Purge. Michael Bay and Paranormal Activity producer Jason Blum actually produced The Purge. Michael Bay was actually involved with that film, I shit you not. I'm not looking forward to Ninja Turtles. I was eventually gonna give Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman a fair shot, but after hearing all the casting choices, I know it's gonna suck. Michael Bay is a much better director than he is a producer.

The only Platinum Dunes horror movie I enjoyed was Amityville Horror. The rest were terrible. I hated TCM. It was missing everything that made the original so great. And worst of all, it was boring.

And the movie could have ended 10 minutes early if that stupid bitch had picked up the chainsaw in that room where she hid in the closet and killed Leatherface and saved her friend. It wouldn't have mattered because they already fucked up the chance at a sequel with him losing his leg.

Amityville was a boring and mediocre remake. TCM and Friday the 13th were fine. Elm Street was just okay. The rest, not so much IMO.
