There was a time when JC was incredible. Nothing Bay has done is even remotely as good as terminator or aliens or abyss.

Even True Lies was a better Michael Bay movie than Michael Bay ever did and I don't hate Michael Bay.

Honestly that’s probably the most brutal takedown of Michael Bay there is. I’m sure Bay himself has had the same thought and it haunts his dreams.

Cameron isn’t the worlds best filmmaker, but whatever he does, he does 100%. All of his activities surrounding the actual filming of Titanic are like bonkers-level of obsession. Hell, the man went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench!

He’s like Captain America. He’s not the strongest or smartest, but when he does something, he does it at peak human efficiency. This analogy might be completely nuts.

The Rock is probably the closest that Bay has come, but that's still clearly inferior to Terminator 2 as an action movie.

Some poor lad came in the other day wondering why all the Transformers had good reviews. Difference was that the guy seemed to genuinely love transformers, so there was at least a hint of integrity to the post.

Look, I liked The Rock, I think it's Bay's best film by far. But it doesn't compare to Aliens or The Abyss.

Maybe if you dont know movies very well....Alien, terminator 2 and the Abyss are all top scifis of all time easily. Transformers is just an easily forgotten blockbuster movie with shitty acting.
