What if Michael Bay made a movie...

That doesn't have any of his stupid cliches? It's simple just take out the explosions, racial stereotypes, his exploitation of women and BOOM! We have a decent Michael Bay drama/comedy. I'm actually one of those people who believe Michael Bay CAN make a good movie, I agree everything he did (except The Rock) is shit. but if he puts some effort into his movies he'd be a legit director
 
i didn't think transformers 1 was that bad; i enjoyed it a fair amount

well i feel a lot of directors would be "legit" if they put some effort into their movies but they don't and that's why they suck

well, i mean, bay puts effort into his movies, he just has no idea what constitutes a good movie
 
If his movies continue grabbing a high box office, I doubt he'll care about the quality of his movies

We should make a petition for people to not pay money at the theaters for Michael Bay movies that way he--no I'm just kidding I don't do that shit
 
He makes movies for a demographic that has money. Money which he will gladly take.

Some one is watching all his movies so I don't see the problem here.
 
If Michael Bay made a movie that doesn't have any of the things he is known for, he would alienate the people who want to watch Michael Bay movies with Michael Bay stuff in them. I'd assume "people who want to watch Michael Bay movies" are Michael Bay's main demographic, and losing those would cost him.

He'd be shooting himself into his own foot. And then his foot would explode spectacularly.

Or maybe they'd be interested because Michael Bay is doing something...different
 
The type of people who pay for Michael Bay's movies on a regular basis are the kinds who want a huge explosion fest. If Michael Bay suddenly stopped that, they wouldn't be interested because it's different, they would ignore it because it's a soft, emotional movie instead of summer blockbuster fodder.

Those people should know that explosions don't make a movie

Yeah, but uh, see, they kinda don't. As it happens, Michael Bay is a one-trick pony. If you took out the explosions and him trying to make you look at "BOOBIES!!1!eleven!" every time something wasn't exploding randomly, you'd get...A pile of bland.

do you think the people give a ----?
 
Good news! He won't do Transformers 5! ;D ;D ;D Maybe he'll finally have some time to open a door for something completely different from his other movies so he could grow a bigger audience and maybe become a decent director

I think it's more likely that he got bored of the giant robot effect and is moving on to cash in on the giant monster effect.
 
You know, back on topic, but Michael Bay's movies have much more problems than explosions, racial stereotyping, and women exploitation.

That's like saying he got bored of giant explosions.

Giant robots are basically screaming for explosions.

His movies are hardly quality but I actually enjoy most of them
