If anyone wants to say Bay's movies are shallow and only full of explosion, I can honestly refute that claim.
I'll bite because I don't see how you can. Bay is an excellent cinematographer. He knows how to get great shots but as a director he is subpar at best.
http://www.cinemassacre.com/2010/10/16/laserblast/ http://www.cinemassacre.com/2010/10/13/inframan/ Rambo 3 Jaws 4: The Revenge (sharks are explosive naturally?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlIDJYdUZ-c&feature=player_embedded 2012 Highlander 2 (things exploded for no damn reason...magic?) Nothing but explosions and virtually no sensible plot. Movies like Armageddon, The Rock and Bad Boys 1 had some actual plots that were good. Pretty much everything after that has been downright retarded.
Listing movies that are worse than Bay's doesn't magically make him a better director. All that proves it that there are directors worse than him. He is still subpar or in your terms the Orson Welles of shitty directors.
Armageddon had a good plot? Yeah, sure, if you ignore all the obvious logic flaws and plot holes you could fit a Texas-sized asteroid through. I don't mind some of Bay's movies, but none of them really have a good plot. Saying there are worse written movies out there doesn't make them any better written: that's like saying Shaq-Fu isn't really THAT bad, since Rise of the Robots exists.
Well you've never seen the Criterion Collection, NASA does commentary...but really its a damn popcorn movie...don't expect too much logic! :banghead:
No one mentioned his abilities. The Transformers movies are shit. I wasn't talking about Bay, I'm sure he's capable...but the transformers movies were shit.
You ever seen Meteor starring Sean Connery? It's on about the same level of nonsense as Armageddon, but has some really dumb character reversals and one of the worst outer space scenes for a big budget movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079550/ Also Sean Connery gets drenched in what looks like raw sewage and shit in London.
i dont get it, was it an accident , did the cop just got his dick hard and decided to drive by fast and hit the car?
