Just learn to follow what is happening. I can follow his movies.

My whole family can.

Just get faster eyes and shut up.


Sorry, I am just sick of people blaming Michael Bay because they can't follow his editing. And that does seem to be the most common complaint. Yet if the editing were truly bad, why aren't more people turned off by that? It seems they don't mind. This is not about quality. Being able to follow camera work should be an ability, not taste.

So that means People who like his movies don't have bad taste. They can just follow those movies better.

It's not that people don't understand "his editing," it's that it's a battle of endurance to get through the broken plot, blurry and poor camera angles, and shitty dialogue just so you can see some decent special effects.

I shouldn't be working to tolerate the majority of the movie just for the one good part (the effects), and if he fucks up the plot of Metroid as much as he's fucked up the plot of everything else he's ever worked on, I am going to run him down.


I wrote "can't follow", not "don't understand". There is a difference.

EDIT: As for the "get faster eyes", that was rude, but the fact is that a lot of people can follow his films.

And you thinking only the effects are worthwhile is just your opinion. It does not mean he fucks up the plots. It just mean you think so.

This is another thing I can't stand about bashing him. You people seem to forget your opinions are just opinions when it comes to his work, even when you admit other things are just your opinions. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
