The only thing that I don't like about watching Michael Bay movies is the painful editing. Not the shots, but the editing. Armageddon was the worst of the bunch. I really wish that he could hold a shot for longer than three seconds.

Anyway, as for Bay, he's alright for dumb action flicks and I'm getting used to his editing style (even though it's now passe and you know in your heart that Bad Boys 2's freeway chase would've been even better with clearer editing).

Prob. the worst in the biz and one of the worst ever.
Talk about desperate - just look at his move with the TCM. He knows he sucks and he's trying to get out of his own shadow.

Keep on makin em. Despite all the poo flinging about Bay's work around here, he makes fun action films. I even enjoyed the uber panned Pearl Harbor. There hasn't been a Michael Bay movie i've hated yet. Could he improve? Sure. But i still like what he's doing.

I voted not let him into a theater. Say what you will about his style, there is not a single frame out of any of his movies that could not be duplicated in another movie with a different hack director and Jerry Bruckheimer as the producer.

So far, I've loved all of his movies. I own all of em too except for bad boys 1 & 2, which I just never got around to buying.
Armageddon and The Rock are 2 of my favorite action movies ever. Pearl harbor would have been a lot better if they used the directors cut and also cut out the first hour and just made it an all action movie. But, it's still great. I also thought the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre was great too, even though he just produced it.
