Maybe it's just me, maybe it's the cast, but The Rock kinda stands out as a more solid movie compared to the rest.

This upvote is not for Michael Bay.

Transformer films. Top ten worst films ever (imo).

The transformers video game commercial that popped up directly after the video was a nice capper to this splosion sundae

The Michael Bay Effect.

WHo is the actress at 0:09.. ahh Claire Forlani

Did you know that Joss Whedon and Michael Bay were college roomates? They need to have a reunion. Bay's biggest weakness is that his scripts suck, and Joss does not have an eye for visuals like Bay does.

Actuaaallllly I really liked the way Firefly was shot. And that part of the movie where they rush the blockade with all those Reaver ships on their tale was class.

DON'T SUGGEST JOSS HAS ANY FLAWS AGAIN.

ps. Does anybody else find movie explosions terribly underwhelming? Oh, they set fire to some gasoline again. yawn. How about some actual shockwaves Hollywood, how about making explosions that look like they take people lives, not just eyebrows. Thx.

I thought Bad Boys 2 was a pretty good flick. Transformers? Utter shit.

I've actually always thought Michael Bay's visuals were pretty awful. Some parts are getting better (the CGI parts, probably more out of his hands), but his explosions and action sequences always look like one of those live action shows you see at places like Disneyland. The explosions are always too well timed, too firey without any impact, and basically it all just looks really staged. I don't think he has any redeeming features at all as a director, really.

For my money, Spielberg is (or probably more appropriately *was*) the best action director. He's terrible at characters and drama, but his action sequences are fantastic.

Joss Whedon wrote Alien Resurrection. Joss Whedon wrote Alien Resurrection! Joss. Whedon. Wrote. Alien. Resurrection.

I agree with everything. Also, I need to point out that 99%of movie explosions are bullshit. Explosions do not have gigantic fireballs. I was fucking SHOCKED to find out Bad Boys 2 was a Bay film, specifically because the explosions (at the end, in Cuba) were so realistic. No giant flames. Just an explosive force demolishing shit. I'm mainly talking about the part where Will Smith shoots the guard post with the AT-4 rocket launcher. >> ^Jinx:

This is what an explosion looks like from a 155mm artillery round looks like. Anyone see flames anywhere?

How about fire in space?

WHERE'S THE FIRE IN SPACE?

You know when people clap at the end of a movie? I've always been confused about that because it's not the premiere; no one who made the movie is there to hear it.

Well, I booed at the end of Transformers because I wanted everyone else in the audience to know how pissed off I was. Definitely in the top 10 worst movies I'ever ever seen. And I have seen some VERY bad movies.>> ^eric3579:

and Transformers 3 is a cheater

They'll say it's an homage. >> ^eric3579:

Case closed.

@BoneyD, that's a freeze-frame? Is that not just the flash? There are not giant fireballs at all in that video.

They forgot to mention that all action scenes must take place at sunset, and all night time scenes must have tons of blue anamorphic fucking lens flare all over the goddamn place.

Micheal Bay has nothing on Uncle Benon:

Yes, sorry, I'm being an idiot But you just know that'd be all the excuse Bay would need to use fire.
