Is Michael Bay secretly one of the greatest directors of our

Pain and Gain is the Taxi Driver of our generation.

It's 100% pure, unironic kino.

>ITT: my favorite movie is Pain & Gain and I try to justify my shitty taste

Bay is garbage. His action scenes are almost always absolutely terrible.

>>85540692
>Christopher Nolan detected

>>85540553
>'American'
So puffed-up rah-rah explosions! deluded garbage.

America is shit.

Kill yourself.

>>85540553
>His films feature American idealistic views, American dreams, American stories, American cities/towns, and most of all American characters.

Is this supposed to be a complement?

Here's one example from Transformers (2007). To an American, this might not be appreciated as much, but to non-Americans this only adds onto our fantasy of what America must be like.

A mix of hot girls, nerds, and chads in a classroom just like you always thought it would be like; a kid with a rich history in his family; and the promise to have your first car bought by your dad who drives an old luxury car if you get good grades while living in the beautiful and warm state of California.

I love all his movies. I agree that he has a unique style. It honestly hilarious seeing people hate on him for movies that were never meant to be taken seriously. Go in understanding what he is doing, and you will have a great time.

>>85540792
>Bay
>Nolan

Two sides of the same shitty coin.

>>85540951
>when you need other people's opinions to validate your own

>>85540553
He's a great director, he just doesn't make good movies (usually).
He's basically the David Fincher of movies

>>85540971
So shovelware quality entertainment for the idiot masses. Hit the nail on the head anon.

Yes. He is.

>>85540971
Were his action scenes also always meant to be trash?

>>85540999
I bet you unironically agree with Armond White.

>>85540997
No.

Nolan is a real filmmaker.

>>85540932
>those colors

so fucking rich. beautiful

>>85541067
Bay's movie have made more money than Nolan could ever hope for. Who's the real filmmaker now, huh faggot?

>>85540553
He's far better than /tv/s favorite meme director Snyder.

>>85541038
And there is nothing wrong with enjoying shovelware as you call it if it is well made. Which Michael Bay has yet to disappoint.

>>85540951
>using RT to prove anything
yikes

>>85541002
I don't get it

>>85541121
>popularity = quality
I bet you think the iphone is the best piece of electronic hardware ever too.

>>85541045
He rarely ever makes bad action scenes. You make not like his style, but your are wrong if you think they are objectively bad.

>>85541121
I guess you think the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the best film franchise of all time, seeing how it's the most profitable franchise worldwide all-time.

>>85540951
based Nolan

>>85541054
No idea who that is.

Ever see he's abs? Holy hunkamoly

>>85541242
How new are you?

>>85541279
Pretty new.
r/movies is cancer, so I came here.

>>85541356
gb2plebbit faggot

>>85540932
what the hell?This is a nice scene, I laughed twice.

I understand what you like about him but I think the "American style" has some quieter and slow moments that aren't represented in Bay movies

hi /r/T_D

>>85541002
Very correct opinion
>>85541067
>Nolan is a real filmmaker.
Top kek m8

>>85540553
He by definition is an auteur

>>85541393
You can't phase me. I have already been assimilated through pol. Now I am spreading out through the rest of 4chan.

>>85540932
I agree that when Transformers began you can tell that Bay was ambitious with characterization of Sam. His family appears stupid but has great and noble spirits

But from second movie own that noble part was lost somehow

>>85541202
They are objectively bad.

I would love to see Micheal Bay and James Cameron in a room together.

>>85541832

But I'd hate to see that room afterwards.

>>85541832
pretty sure bay is ripped alcoholic irl and cameron is a tubby little shit.

>>85541832
Why?

>>85541794
How?
