I love films with plot and acting. But Sometimes I just wanna watch a movie with giant robots blowing each other up.

People bring up Batman. Whats the difference, a dude running around in a Bat suit and a machine that can hear voices from cellphones and remote controlled cars, right? Yeah thats overflowing with character development.

The original transformers cartoons was hammy as hell, what do you expect, Shakespeare ? You go into the movie knowing its action, any real man with a Pair will love it. Stop being Pansies

I could care less about Sam Raimi and his dumbass spiderman movies, they suck as does every other Comic book film, but I hate comic books anyway so Im biased.

Real Men(young) like to see Guns shooting and Babes running half naked. All you other dudes go watch Macbeth or Benjamin Button if you want freaking acting.

you are right,, he always delivers what he promises, actually that is the best thing in a person. thats y i love michael bay. generally i prefer drama come action movies like The Dark Knight, but this feeling was different for bay movies, he always delivers what i expect. i watched Transformers 2, 6 times till and counting on…because i like that stuff. i also seen dark knight 10+ times. i don't compare both movie,because one is thrilling and another is exciting. So i liked both movies.

Love you michael bay.

I agree. I like movies with a unique and interesting story, but sometimes I just like "popcorn movies". And if I want to see a movie like that, I'll watch Transformers or The Island. Because they are entertaining and I enjoy the action and the effects. He can make good popcorn movies, apart from other film-makers. At least he is good at making entertaining movies – I've seen so many movies that aren't. So many bad movies (mostly horror) that try to copy the better ones. His inspiration seems to be to entertain and surprise people with action and effects – some others are inspired to make people feel compassion with touching and sad stories, some are inspired to shock people with horror and blood, some inspired to make people think and try to solve mysteries… It's just what makes him feel passionated, I think, and passion is good. As long as people have passion when they do something, it doesn't matter so much if it's not exactly what you wanted – because it wouldn't be worth anything if someone did something without passion just because other people weren't satisfied. Some movies I like, some I dislike, but the only thing I really dislike (and think is really bad) is when a movie is a cheap copy of another better movie because of lack of creativity and true inspiration. But I never felt that with Micheal Bay. I think his movies are surprising and exciting. But I don't know how much he's copied – I only saw someone write that The Island was copied from MST3K.

The only Michael Bay film i did not enjoy is Pearl Harbor. One movie out of so many cannot be cause for people to hate him.

I think he is a fantastic director…

ROTF was awesome too!

That's what I was looking for when I typed in "Why does everyone hate Michael Bay".
Good to see that the world isn't full of haters.

People don't hate Michael Bay because he makes profitable films. They hate him because he makes terrible films. "Pearl Harbor" sucked. "The Island" (ripped of directly from an MST3K special, BTW) sucked. When you get past the glitz of the CGI, "Transformers" sucked. Now, I'm the first to admit that I love "Armageddon," despite the fact that deep down I know it sucks, so I'm willing to give people their guilty pleasures.

It is possible to make big, beautiful, popcorn spectacles that are actually good movies. Look at "Spiderman," "Spiderman 2," the new Batman franchise, particularly "The Dark Knight," etc. You don't have to make crap FULL of product placements (i.e. "The Island"), plastic people, (Megan Fox's character in "Transformers"), and ham-fisted scripts (all of them, but especially "Pearl Harbor"). People hate Michael Bay because he has no artistic integrity. He's like the guy who splashes a gallon of Glidden on a wall and wants to have his "painting" hung up next to a Jackson Pollock. he might protest that he isn't an artist, but he's getting paid on the same scale as the artists, not on the scale of the set designer.
