Children, Children calm down.There are many points that have not been looked at, firstly Michael Bay is a director and not a scribe.
Michael Bays role is to direct the movie, he might sacrifice story over action now and then. But you would have to admit that the movies he's made are'nt really sh*t, there just not so good.
And football isnt really just about brute force its about skill, teamplay, control, athleticism...
As I've said before, it's not a bad thing if films have special effects. The director still has to direct the lighting, angle, action, compostion, mise-en-scene etc. Besides, how do you expect any director to direct the films he's done without any CGI effects? Hmmmmm, Armageddon and Pearl Harbor with no CGI? That would be successful!!!
At the end of the day, you are just putting your dislike over his films before criticising what is ACTUALLY wrong with his directing. Instead your just typing silly comments.
He is NOT the greatest director alive!!! Directors like M. Night Shyalaman and Christopher Nolan are better. But saying that, could they direct something as exciting as The Rock? It can't be said because they have never done something like that, so you can't judge. But Bay hasn't done anything in their style either, so you can't judge that! Give him a chance!!!
Let me try and answers some of your statements:-
1) "He's a hack". Well in what way? Be specific instead of typing crap comments.
2) "His films are just full of explosions". THATS BECAUSE THEY ARE ACTION FILMS YOU BUMDONGS!!!
