Michael Bay Reviews, Interviews & More
On Monday, we reported on a story noting that Michael Bay and bottom of the barrel production company Platinum Dunes (behind such wonderful remakes as A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) were rebooting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise in 2013. We also noted that Bay announced the...
Platinum Dunes is a production company that has given us such lustrous movie reboots/remakes as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror, The Hitcher, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street, so you know that their Michael Bay-produced reboot of the...

Well, fans of large-scale mishmashes of the colors teal and orange that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make all in the hopes that children all over the world will force their parents to buy them tickets to see walking trucks from space punch each other while Shia Labeouf sweats a lot, your day just got better. The rest of humanity? Your day just became infinitely...
The Transformers franchise is just as successful/popular as any other modern blockbuster with the latest entry (Transformers: Dark of the Moon) having done over a billion dollars worldwide (the highest gross of the franchise). But while talking to the press on the last film, Michael Bay suggested that this was his last go-around with the cars...
Yesterday, we reported that Hasbro and Michael Bay were gunning for a fourth Transformers film. And if that wasn’t enough bad news for one week, month, year, or decade, try this on for size: it looks like the fourth and fifth (sweet, sweet Jesus protect us) Transformers films are going to be made simultaneously. And since...
ScreenCrave readers, there simply are no words… Sigh. I’ll do my best. Stiff upper lip, folks, we’re gonna get through this one together: Hasbro and Michael Bay are developing Transformers 4. God help us all, they’re developing Transformers 4!
The kingpin of blockbusters debuted last week to ridiculous numbers. Michael Bay's Transformers: Dark of the Moon now has the highest opening weekend of 2011, a title that previously belonged to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. But despite the big numbers, the latest installment didn't do as well as 2009's...
After the second film - which star Shia LaBeouf and director Michael Bay have publicly apologized for -there was hope that Transformers: Dark of the Moon would settle Michael Bay down, and give him a better story to tell. Working with 3-D, his hyper-editing style wouldn't work in the format, and there would be no "afterthought" Imax scenes. There would also be no...
Bad news, fans of Michael Bay or adenoidal, shiny films with no inherent plot or reason for being other than to mesh loud, repetitious noise with garishly epileptic editing, explosions, and actors who always look sweaty (ok, so this is still just directed at Michael Bay fans then)—the notoriously, well, awful director (awful in that his movies are the equivalent of about 50,000 empty...
Transformers: Dark of the Moon hits theaters June 28, but the film premiered in Moscow a couple days ago, with director Michael Bay and stars Shia LaBeouf, John Malkovich, Tyrese Gibson, Jush Duhamel, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in attendance.

First vampires, then werewolves, now zombies and robots have taken over the movie industry.

It's been almost two years since Michael Bay's Transformers Revenge of the Fallen hit theaters and people are still recovering from it. The film was a box office success but critically it was panned six ways from Sunday. Fanboys who anxiously awaited its released were even turned off by the lame story. After the dust settled, Bay and star...
According to former President Franklin D. Roosevelt, December 7 is a date that lives in infamy because of the events that happened in 1941. This was the pivotal day that Japan attacked the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii, which catapulted the U.S.'s involvement in World War II. Throughout Hollywood's long and lush history many directors have tackled the various wars that this country has...

Michael Bay is proud of the latest addition to his Transformers family and he wants everyone in the world to know it.

If that wasn't grand enough, Bay also...
