Michael Bay

       I'll make this brief because it's really not worth my time.  Michael Bay is not a good director at all.  Pearl Harbor is way below average.  The first Transformers film was alright, but the latter two were just awful.  One critic referred to him as Hollywood's anser to the anti-christ.  Well, that's pretty accurate.

       Michael Bay is best known as a director of  high action films.  He directed such action/thriller films as "The Rock,"  "Armageddon," "Pearl Harbor," "Bad Boys" and the "Transformers" seriies.  Michael Bay is heavily into special effects as well and co-owns the special effects studio Digital Domain.   He also co-owns the production studio Platinum Dunes which gave us such movies as "Friday the 13th," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and "A Nightmare on Elm Street."  Not surprisingly, Michael Bay teamed up with those masters of the popular action film, producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson.  Bay and Bruckheimer's film "Bad Boys." starring Will Smith and Martin  Lawrence was such a huge commercial success, it created a bond between the two filmmakers that turned into a lifelong friendship.  Michael Bay may not be the artistic genius like a Fritz Lang or Frederico Fellini, but he knows what makes a film a commercial success and directs that type of film better than anyone.
