Aren't Titanic and Return of the King when adjusted above 1 Billion Worldwide?

@Sansui, hope you don't mean Transformers...
Though Dark Knight was spectacular.

 

You're damn right I do.  The best summary of Michael Bay I've ever seen was done by South Park during the imaginationland episodes. 

General: [to the specialist] Get him out of here. [M. Night Shyalaman is hauled away, only to be replaced by...] Mr. Bay, can you thnk of any idea how to outwit these terrorists? 

Michael Bay: I believe I can.  We start... by making a big CG building and then we have a meteor go CROSSHH! [makes a diving motion with his left arm] and it, and it's all like CRAAWWWLL [simulates an explosion with his arms] a-and motorcycles burst into flame while they jump over these helicopters, right? [has his right hand go over his left arm like a motorcycle over a helicopter]
 
General: [firmly] No no! We need ideas how to stop the terrorists!
 
Michael Bay: An eighteen-wheeler spins out of control and it's all like BROSSHH [makes a crashing motion with his right hand] And then this huuuge tanker full of dyna- [launches into a series of explosions] 

General: [fed up] Those aren't ideas, those are special effects! 

Michael Bay: I... don't understand the difference. 

General: I know you don't. Get him out of here! [next in the chair is Mel Gibson] Aaand being that we are all big Mel Gibson film fans, we thought maybe you could help us. 

 

Transformers, like all other Michael Bay movies, sucked. It didn't suck on the epic level of Pearl Harbor, but it wasn't far off.

I don't know who I would want to kick in the nuts more, Michael Bay or Roland Emmerich. It's a tough call.

 

Transformers didn't suck. It was what it was suppose to be. A summer popcorn movie that entertained. Obviously when a movie has a hardcore fanbase you are going to have people that dislike it for not being like the cartoon or something but overall it made tons of money and we probably could not of done a better job. And you know the sequel will make even more money than the first one. It's tricky turning a cartoon about transforming robots into something the mainstream audience can accept and enjoy. Dispite popular oppinion we are not more talented than Michael Bay. At least not when it somes to making summer tentpole movies.
