No way. Emmerich is the classier version of Bay. He has an amazing eye for visuals and doesn't ruin them with epileptic editing. Just excellent compositions. Bash Godzilla all you want, but there are several shots in there that are from a truly gifted eye.

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.

It's my opinion that James Cameron could kick Michael Bay's ass any day of the week, when you compare these two commercial filmmakers....

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.

Just so you know, I wasn't trying to thread crap. Sorry to offend you as a fan. The Rock was very entertaining, and so was Bad Boys the first two times I saw it. :D

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.
