Megan Fox Slams "Transformers" Director Michael Bay

Megan Fox has said some home truths about Michael Bay...and Bay has told Fox that she is too young to know what she is talking about!
Megan Fox slammed "Transformers" director Michael Bay for focusing more on special effects than acting, but he doesn't mind.

"Well, that's Megan Fox for you," Bay tells the Wall Street Journal. "She says some very ridiculous things because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do.

"You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, 'Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it,'" he goes on.

Fox told Entertainment Weekly: "I mean, I can't s--- on this movie because it did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don't want to blow smoke up people's a--. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting."

Bay says he "100 percent disagrees" with Fox.

"Nick Cage wasn't a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in 'Armageddon.' Shia LaBeouf wasn't a big movie star before he did 'Transformers' -- and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from 'Bad Boys'," he points out.

Bay thinks Fox could be a little more grateful, though.

"Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in Transformers," he says. "I like to think that I've had some luck in building actors' careers with my films."

Yeah, I'm GLAD someone said it.... Michael Bay is a stupid moron....He wouldnt know a good script if it was to save his life....the first movie at least focused on some sort of character development.

"She says some very ridiculous things because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do."

Fu*k you Michael Bay...I'm 23 years old too, if he meant that shes to young to understand that you'd rather sell your EXPLOSIONS than to actually SELL your creative writing work, or character development...than you have alot of growing up as DIRECTOR to do, because you surely dont know what we FANS want.

I'm F'n pissed off now....I frowned upon Fox's comment when she said that "Wonder Woman is a lame character", personally because she probably wont get asked to ACT that PART (personal and biase)....but most of the stuff that comes out off her mouth makes alot of sense, especially if its a profession statement (Which this is).

Megan Fox just got POINTS here!
Aiiwolf - 7/3/2009, 12:40 PM
i read this on yahoo yesterday with some friends and remember saying well maybe Michael bay will learn that just because they are in his movie doesnt mean they care if its good or not
i did like the movie but i did feel it was lacking in some areas and its nice to see the actors.actresses feel the same way
tyko450 - 7/3/2009, 12:48 PM
Far be it for me to defend that twit Megan Fox, but Bay shouldn't be throwing stones. I mean he's acting like a teenage boy who got rejected by the hot chick and then starts calling her a whore.

I mean he's right in that she's young but a 10 year old could figure out that Bay's formula for a movie is big explosions with minimal "good" story.

He should have just let this one go. It's one thing to have a 23 year old up and coming no talent actress point out that you're a hack. It's another to lend any credibility to said statements by responding to them.

Once again I think Megan Fox is a no talent twit but she wins this round. Fox 1 Bay 0.
alten2345 - 7/3/2009, 12:48 PM
Damn, i wonder if FOX will be in TRANSFORMERS 3??? ; D

"Nick Cage wasn't a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in 'Armageddon.' Shia LaBeouf wasn't a big movie star before he did 'Transformers' -- and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from 'Bad Boys'," he points out.

First off Bay, get the [frick] off your TF million dollar high horse you insignificant [frick]!!! The movie that got Cage any recognition in the first place was Raising Arizona. Armageddon was responsible for the kick start Ben Affleck's descent. Shia has a hell of a lot more to do before i concider him a big star. He's just the flavor of the month as Fox is. What kick started Will Smith's carreer was Fresh Prince and became known with Independance Day. Bad Boys was merely decent. Oh and Lawrence is still shit no matter what he does. So you are responsible for [frick] all!!! His next explosion will be his [frick]ing head since it inflated to dangerous proportions!!!
Shaman - 7/3/2009, 1:35 PM
this chick is so dumb i swear. never read a inteligent quote from her. bay cast her in transformers 3 and have her crushed under the heel of some transformer in the first couple of minutes. that will show her.


as for shia. he is not a big star.
i liked him better in sidekick roles like in i robot or constantine.

ford was the star in indy. the transformers were the stars in the transformers movies.
grif - 7/3/2009, 1:46 PM
"People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting." If this movie was meant to be a classic with great acting Megan would not have been cast in the first place. She was hired as brainless eye candy and did the job well because that's her real life personality.
SlurpeeGuy - 7/3/2009, 1:54 PM
Bay's head may be a little too big for his own good but he could do with being a little more grateful-without Transformers Im betting that none of us would have heard of her and her bank balance would definitely be a lot lower! She may not like the movie she's in (and im sure there are a lot of other actors who dont as well) but she aint the most talented actress so until shes in more than a brainless action movie or some B-Movie then she ought to watch what she says before no one will want to hire her!
joshw24 - 7/3/2009, 2:15 PM
Shaman@ well put enough said!!
mounted88 - 7/3/2009, 4:07 PM
Hey baby, if this movie was about acting YOU WOULDNT BE IN IT!!! And shaman...I like Martin Lawrence. He was the shit in wild hogs:)
superdog - 7/3/2009, 4:48 PM
I hate to say it but Megan Fox has a point Michael bay is getting f-ing lazy. A good story with good acting makes a good movie mixed with the right amoutn of special effects.
HR - 7/3/2009, 5:01 PM
Lazy would indicate that at some time bay cared about those things and now is getting lazy and doesn't. He's never cared about those things it's just more obvious now cause more people are seeing his movies
superdog - 7/3/2009, 5:16 PM
@Shaman

Totally agree with what you said, every bit.
Aiiwolf - 7/3/2009, 11:49 PM
@ superdog....exactly.

I didnt watch Transformers 2...I watched HangOver TWICE. I heard this movie was terrible, lacked acting, had plot holes, and jumped all over the place.

OH yeah, and FART JOKES, and silly comic scenes that were un-needed for the film. I dont get that?

The first one was alright...it was decent....but from all the reviews, and fans, and everything I'll watch Public Enemies or Bruno next week.
Aiiwolf - 7/4/2009, 12:00 AM
i hate Bay now - but I have to agree somewhat with him and his apprehension towards Fox's comments.

Someone needs to shove a sock full of seed down Fox's throat and then kick her in the stomache. God she's a stupid useless piece of stupid-ass.
Keven - 7/4/2009, 12:55 AM
Ooooookay!

Bays problem is that hes a [frick]ing douchebag! BUT his ego is too big for him to ever realize it. He believes that just because these moronic, brain fart action movies that he makes draw stacks of cash and propel the actors to stardom that must mean that the acting id great and the movies are quality..i mean they must be..look how much money he has! Its like that ep of South Park with Kanye West. Bay is the movie worlds Kanye West.
Rorschach01 - 7/4/2009, 6:24 AM
I think some directors get a big head when there movies blow up. Just because Fox is young doesn't mean she doesn't know what she is talking about. Iam 1/2 on this one on both side You can't play Transformers with out Special Effects & Transformers has opened a lot of doors for her.
Spock - 7/4/2009, 7:42 AM
ive seen ROTF and thought it was great. people should be a little more thankfull that someone had the balls to make it in the first place. and for people moaning about plot holes and other stupid nit picky things, here's a few for yer

1) at the end of lord of the rings when the eagles carried frodo off the volcano, why didnt they get one of them to take him there in the first place!?
2)in ironman he uses that power device to run the suit and stop the metal shards from entering his heart and killing him. with all that tech and power why can't he use it to pull the shards out of his body!?
3)how the hell does doc oc in spiderman 2 stand and walk properly with so much wieght on his upper body from the belt and tenticles.

i could go on and on with stupid things like this in ALL films, but then i wouldnt enjoy them so i dont! and if anyone thinks i being stupid, pot..kettle..black!!
cindar - 7/4/2009, 8:03 AM
Megan is right, his movie (TF2) is a piece of shit with good effects. Although it's a backhanded bit of truth she's slinging because by focusing the blame for her non-existent acting talent on to Bay's incompetent directing and story telling she's trying to build an idea that she actually can act... she just hasn't "found the right film yet".

A case of pot meet kettle.

Bay is a dick. After watching Bay's movies in the last few years I think it's a safe assumption that he goes home every night and squirts some knuckle soldiers all over military brochures. Bay has two demands for making movies these days 1. Can I blow things up 2. Can the army be in it.
WeaponX - 7/4/2009, 8:03 AM
@ Cindar, some possible answers to your questions:
1) maybe because the book was written that way
2) I believe the shards were already partially in his heart, to get them completely out would most likely make him bleed to death
3) maybe because he's written like that in the comic books

Please don't try to come up with supposedly 'stupid stuff', especially when you compare it to a completely terrible script like RotF. Sure action and robots are cool, but that doesn't make it a overall good movie.
Piotr - 7/4/2009, 8:16 AM
I'm sure i'm probably one of the only ones who thinks this, but Megan Fox is a stupid bimbo who has no acting skill whatsoever. She is all looks, which is due mostly to makeup. I may not be making friends by saying this, but I agree with Bay. When he says she has growing to do he means she is still young as an actress with no real experience. I saw her on an episode of Two and a Half Men and she pretty much just flaunted her looks and acted all flitty in the role, which is pretty much all she's good at. She's the classic dumb blonde, only she's a brunette. It's a heavy action series, and so she was picked for her looks, not acting ability. IMO, she is total garbage and doesn't really have a future in the industry, though I may be shooting myself in the foot there; it is always POSSIBLE, but I won't hold my breath. She knows she appeals to men, that's why she runs her mouth so much. She knows people will defend her, which is a joke if you ask me. Come on, somebody has to agree with me. I don't really care if Transformers ROF was lacking in character development, it's not about the characters in the first place (the human ones anyway), it's about the robots. I loved the movie. It held my attention, and to be honest, if I'm going to see it at the midnight premiere (which I did), and it's about the Transformers, I want to see a bunch of explosions and loud sounds and robots tearing each other's heads off, not a story about Mikaela and Sam. if I want a character story, I'll go see something else. It's robots, and they're fighting. No need for acting ability or character development. Megan Fox needs to shut it and just sit there and look pretty (though, as I previously stated, I don't really think she is to begin with).
AdamFalcon - 7/4/2009, 8:17 AM
Cindar you make good points. All(or most) movies do have plot holes and lapses of logic. But thats not what bothered me about Transformers 2! I didnt see Gollum hump Frodo's leg in LOTR, nor did i see Aunt may get stoned on a hash brownie and jump on someones back in Spiderman! Plot holes i can take, stupid, juvenile, UNFUNNY crap that belongs in a different movie i cant.
Rorschach01 - 7/4/2009, 8:18 AM
AdamFalcon Fox has never claimed to be a good actress! She is well aware of her appeal and is running with it, as would anyone in her situation. Bay on the other hand has delusions of himself as some sort of serious auteur just because his movies make a lot of money.

Also "it's about the Transformers, I want to see a bunch of explosions and loud sounds and robots tearing each other's heads off, not a story about Mikaela and Sam."

Exactly! But if you watched the movie you would know that we did indeed get more than enough of Mikaela and Sam, as well as their various mentally challenged friends and family..Thats the reason i was so pissed off with the movie!
Rorschach01 - 7/4/2009, 8:24 AM
That a girl... Bite that hand.

She reminds me of those chicks in the GGW vids. Hmm, I might be giving her too much credit for acting. She continues to lower my repect of her with every statement. She needs to learn to shut the f*** up.
JYCowboy - 7/4/2009, 8:26 AM
i get your points rorshach01, sometimes i think bits in movies should not have been included, but it was there and i laughed. what can i say i grew up with airplane and naked gun. i like action with a bit of stupid humour. i think if it had have been straight down the line serious all the way through i wouldnt have liked it so much. i would have sat there thinking something was missing.
cindar - 7/4/2009, 8:32 AM
Hey Ror, I get what you're saying, and trust me I wasn't really all too thrilled with the antics of the live characters in it either, I'm just saying it sounds like Fox is trying to beef herself up to be more than she is. I don't know she just pisses me off. In my opinion she is a total joke. She's so concerned with Bay being more interested in special effects, but frankly I'd have liked to see more of it than her trying to get Sam to say "I Love You". That's all I'm saying. It just sounds to me like she thinks she deserves MORE screen time and/or better lines, but honestly I really would rather see less of her. She's just a nuisance to the story of the Transformers. She thinks she deserves more than she really does. That's all I'm saying.
AdamFalcon - 7/4/2009, 8:34 AM
Bitch needs to shut the [frick] up! Is she expecting an Oscar from transformers? Get on the train, get exposure and move on. She needs a spank.
starscream4president - 7/4/2009, 8:36 AM
Haha, starscream4president, you just made me laugh pretty freakin' hard. I couldn't agree more.
AdamFalcon - 7/4/2009, 8:44 AM
You guys can slam ROTF all you want...fact is the masses loved it.
I went twice to see it...once with friends and again with my wife....both time people cheered, clapped and laughed there faces off thre entire movie.

*guess that means they hated it and think Bay is a no talent hack*...lol

Now as for Fox.......all titttys and no brains....and yes 23 is still young and dumb....lol
RaythBane - 7/4/2009, 9:03 AM
Hey man i love Airplane and Naked Gun and all of those silly comedies! But the operative word there is comedies. Transformers isnt one. I also like SOME humor is an action movie, but there were more scenes played for(attempted) laughs in that movie than there were for drama..thats a comedy! Bay just has no clue how to pace or structure a movie. I mean at the end, we are in the middle of what is supposed to be a huge, dramatic battle for the fate of the world..and hes cutting to that [frick]tard room mate of Sams crying in the car! Or big, swinging Devastator balls! Seriously! We get it Bay! You like stupid jokes and childish humor, LEAVE IT OUT OF AT LEAST ONE [frick]ING PART OF THE [frick]ING MOVIE!

Sorry! I promised myself i wouldnt go on about this anymore so thats it, no more Tranny 2 talk!

By the way, RaythBane i couldnt care less if everyone on the planet sat in that cinema yukking it up at the dogs humping, its still a very flawed movie. A big group of people liking it does not change that. After all, lots of people like The Black Eyed Peas, are they a good band?
Rorschach01 - 7/4/2009, 9:07 AM
You can see how dumb she is when she starts to ruin the 1 good thing about her!! Her body with stupid tattoos!!
And of course just out of respect she shouldn't have said anything about Bay!! He found her and put her on the map!!!
xavier2825 - 7/4/2009, 9:11 AM
THE GUY MAKES MONEY..I DONT HATE THE GUY, HE HAS AN EYE FOR SEXY,FASTCARS , AND ACTION..I COULD SAY ALOT OF BAD STUFF ABOUT THE GUY BUT HE'S THE DIRECTOR GETTING PAID ALOT OF MOOLAH.. AND IM JUST THE GUY TALKING ABOUT HIM.SO KEEP MAKING MOVIES BAY, I WISH I WAS MAKING THAT MUCH DOUGH
GUNSMITH - 7/4/2009, 9:45 AM
Bay's an idiot for saying nobody knew Megan Fox until she became big with Transformers.

Megan Fox also played the "mean bitch" in that flick with Lindsay Lohan "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" She also appeared on the sitcom "Two and a Half Men". Small roles, not much to shake a stick at, BUT it still makes her known in the acting world before she landed her Transformers role.

But yeah, I agree, she could show a bit more gratitude... so what if Bay just blows shit up. It makes money. Money that'll help Megan buy all her pretty little dresses and other fancy crap. 'Nuff said.
Slayer420 - 7/4/2009, 9:49 AM
Let me see....is this the same Megan who said befor the movie opened..." Tranformers is what it is...if you dont like it dont [frick]ing watch it".....then when she hears the not great reviews she says she wanted it to be about the acting........

teabag - 7/4/2009, 10:02 AM
Lets be honest theres only 3 reasons why you go to see a Transformers movie - you like Transformers, big CGI robots and Megan Fox's boobs, lol! ;)


joshw24 - 7/4/2009, 10:09 AM
i thought the problem was her toe thumb but dam whats wrong with her lil finger???

Nice pic tho Josh............jesus where the hell has that Andrex puppy ran off to
teabag - 7/4/2009, 10:20 AM
the only part i see Bay getting big headed at was when he started naming the actors he "made" famous, but Megan fox is starting to prove herself to be a Holly-Bitch
lilej2 - 7/4/2009, 10:30 AM
In a way they both have a point.
Bandrews1 - 7/4/2009, 10:51 AM
they both are right...bay cant tell a story but he can blow shite up and give us action...fox on the other hand...she blatantly lacks acting skills and if it werent for bay she'd prob end up on the cw11 shows or as lindsey lohan's beeyatch again...so she kinda does owe him sumting...but hey maybe she will get a role someday and surprise us all with some acting skillz...after all i saw heath in 10 things and roar...and i never thought he would go on to be such an amazing actor...so maybe fox might get a chance to show she's aint just another sexy gal...there's a greater chance of that happening than bay actually giving us a proper movie plot with no holes!!!...still fox has nothing on munn and lynn collins...and bay has nothing..on well everyone else!!!
Anil Rickly - 7/4/2009, 11:12 AM
It's kind of hard to enjoy a movie when 99% of you unanimously decided you WERENT going to enjoy it because of the name "Bay". Some friends and I were making fun of a guy leaving the theater who reminded me of these articles who obviously neglected to enjoy the great parts of this movie in favor of focusing all energy on finding reasons to NOT like this movie.

Yeah its great to have an opinion and I respect it, but how do you enjoy a movie that you've already deemed to be terrible? To be honest I hated most of the same things you hated, but my head isn't so far up my own ass that I'm going to neglect to enjoy seeing the biggest thing from my childhood come to life.

I hope just to spite most of the guys I've explained above, Bay hires Tom Hanks and a complete Academy Award winning ensemble cast so that Transformers 3 can try to rake in the Oscars. I mean, you guys are bitching about acting and shitty fillers, this will solve it and based on what YOU guys have said, will make this movie completely awesome.
RyanTcone - 7/4/2009, 11:47 AM
Wow. Once again there are people agreeing that there is shitty acting and shitty fillers in ROTF but still say this movie is awesome. Talk about having your head up your ass.
alten2345 - 7/4/2009, 12:16 PM
You guys are too funny.

So we are preoccupying ourselves with what a the toe-thumbed air-headed immature bimbo actress said about the shallow self-serving egotist immature director?

Priceless ....Where's Keven??
Phinehas - 7/4/2009, 12:48 PM
Yep!

RyanTcone i didn't go in expecting to hate it at all, i loved the first one! And i didn't even hate 2, i just hated the bits i mentioned above. The fight scenes were amazing. As for "finding" reasons not to like it, well i don't know about anyone else, but i didn't have to look very hard! It wasn't like all the crappy bits were bubbling under the surface in a sub plot or something!
Rorschach01 - 7/4/2009, 12:56 PM
@Cindar
for #2 the shard(s) were too close to his heart to operate at the time. when medical technology became better he had them removed. It's no longer a factor in the books now.

Bay is an idiot. Martin Lawrence got his big break by using stand up comedy. Not any of Bay's high octane explosions and craptastic story movies.

Fox is right and she knows she's not the greatest actress. She knows not everyone went to see ROTF for her. I think she knows she's only a replacement for Lindasy Lohan who also can not really act or do any other role outside of the confused teenage girl.BUt with time and the right director who can emphasize the script and wants to create a film you could be proud of then she could be a good actress. She may have to like heath ledger and fall off the radar for a while then do a role that no one expects her to do.

But Bay really needs to calm down and go get good writers for his scripts. I've yet to see ROTF b/c I'm being lazy but every person who has seen it has said that parts of it were either stupid or unneeded.
Until any one the th above things happen she learn how to say "no comment" or "i rather not disscuss it". And Bay should just go sit down before someone punches him in the face.
But in all.. this isn't any thing but publicity.
Coming Soon ...
Shia LaBeouf slams Peter "Optimus Prime" Cullen.
GrayFox - 7/4/2009, 1:18 PM
Ryan i hear where your coming from but although i enjoyed the movie and dont really have any issues i can see where some people could be complaisent......the fighting was confusing tho.....






Aparently Bay is bringing a new Transformer for the 3rd movie...something about giving the people what they want......heres a teaser image..





teabag - 7/4/2009, 1:20 PM
@GrayFox

I don't think it's the writers considering the same guys that wrote the new Star Trek movie wrote ROTF. Star Trek was a fantastic movie so either those guys were as high as giraffe pussy when they wrote ROTF or Bay f*cked with the script.
alten2345 - 7/4/2009, 1:25 PM
ok this just came to me.
Micheal Bay saying Martin Lawrence didn't get big until Bad Boys is like saying Eddie Murphy didn't get big until Pluto Nash.

GrayFox - 7/4/2009, 1:28 PM
I think Megan Fox should have waited to make her comments about the film I mean c'mon the movie is about to go into its 3rd week of release and is on its way to making $400 million in the U.S she should have waited until the movie was out of theaters to make her comments
DoIlookLIkeIGiveAFuk - 7/4/2009, 1:28 PM
To be fair Lawrence didnt start making movies as a leading man till after Bad Boys but i dont know weather i want to thank Bay or not
teabag - 7/4/2009, 1:40 PM
@alten:
after looking at their credits probably bay strong armed his "improvements" into the script. Like changing Sideswipe from a Lamborghini a car that is actually in production to a corvette stingray concept.
GrayFox - 7/4/2009, 1:42 PM
MMMM anyone fancy a burger

teabag - 7/4/2009, 1:48 PM
ya know, i don't care about this article at all...lol. But, I'd totally still do Megan Fox, no matter what she says, and the chick above for that matter...Megan Fox and McDonalds....can anyone say "special sauce?"
joslezio85 - 7/4/2009, 2:19 PM
Well, it IS a movie about special effecrs (and jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes!) and for Bay to call her naive simply for saying so is incredibly stupid. Especially since it's naive teenages with half a brain in their head that is the majority of the audience for the movie.

Also, he's an arrogant prick, and it's amazing he actually tries to take credit for Nic Cage's career.

BTW, Megan Fox actually HAS some acting talent. But it's her own fault for people calling her a brainless bimbo who's only there to show cleavage because that's the way she portrays herself to the media. But that doesn't mean she can't act.
slimybug - 7/4/2009, 2:24 PM
Hmmm I go top movies not because of the director or producer.I could care less.When I rent the Transformer 2 DVD I know it will be a lot of action and little script.
Therefore that is why I will rent it.
I have been reading comic books and watching tv since the 1960s.
Believe me when I tell you we would have loved to see movies with such effects as these back then but since they have them now as long as I can the Rowdy One will indulge. Hey Megan Fox is a cutie as well:)
rowdyrob - 7/4/2009, 2:36 PM
U know what i have nothing to say about this to. U people r all ass holes! >:0 The movie was great Its not about acting story and plot. U sit there whatch the action and awsome speacal effects and shut the hell up! I swear u people would look at the acting plot and story of a porn. If u want to look at acting plot and story then go watch my sisters keeper thats a movie u look at stuff like that not transformers. Megan Fox was hot the action was great the effects was amazeing i had an amazeing time and caint wait for the third.
Logan-X - 7/4/2009, 2:39 PM
What if the third one was written by the writers who make all those god awful lifetime movie network movies? and starred the entire cast of twilight?
GrayFox - 7/4/2009, 2:47 PM
The people who liked this movie remind me of the zombies from Land of the Dead. All the humans had to do was shoot off some fireworks to distract the zombies. Though the zombies did finally wise up to the fireworks. I can't say the same for the people that were distracted from the massively bad plot of ROTF by big explosions:)
alten2345 - 7/4/2009, 2:55 PM
For once, I think Megan Fox is absolutely right. This movie was not about acting at all. I mean look at it this way; last year at this time, The Dark Knight had just come out and it stayed as the #1 in America for weeks and weeks. Why? Amazing acting, a terrific script, and character development. ROTF comes out, and it's #1 FOR A WEEK, then yesterday it gets dropped to the #2 movie in America by ICE AGE?!?!?!? Come on. If this was a good movie, it would have true staying power. He talks about Nicholas Cage and Ben Affleck being good actors? WHAT A JOKE. Cage wasn't good in The Rock, and Affleck has been horrible in everything he's been in. Bay has this horrible talent for making everything WAY TOO DRAMATIC AND CORNY. This is the first time i've ever heard something half-way decent come out of Megan's mouth.
tamacrusher - 7/4/2009, 2:57 PM
tamacrusher i guarantee if Ice Age 3D came out last year it would of took the number 1 spot from TDK...Family, Kiddie Movies always win

And HAPPY ID4 everyone !!!
Gose - 7/4/2009, 5:15 PM
@ Teabag

In a sense you might be right, but the only reason THE DARK KNIGHT made so much was because of the hype, and also the Death of Heath Ledger....and overall it was a very good WRITTEN movie.

I personally saw it three times I think? or was it 2?....I cant remember all i know is Many people went to go see it twice....Ice age on the other had would get the same response...it might make alot and lot of money but its not a movie I would want to spend 10-15 dollars ( money depending on regular or IMAX) on watching twice...

Recently I watched HangOVER TWICE....LOVEd it....The movie was actuall;y a comedy...it didnt need fart jokes and stupid metaphors to make me laugh...From what I heard about Transformers....IT HAD ALOT OF THE TYPE of HUMOR....

@ Gose

I want that also...why cant they just give us all robots....damn it....its based of a toyline...they need to quit basing it off comics and tv shows...and LOVE stories...just get down to the damn point.

Thanks for the Megan fox pictures...saved them on my PS3. lol.... Please put moreeeee DIVAS on here!
Aiiwolf - 7/4/2009, 6:56 PM
yea i also read the article on yahoo yesterday, in my opinion this movie is about acting,cause u need to know how to act in different situations, knowing that it is a Michael Bay film. But i wouldnt go as far as to say Megan Fox is saying rediculous things, she has her own opinions which she shared. Shes 23 how much growing up does she need to do. I liked this movie alot.
Instantclassic - 7/4/2009, 7:01 PM
Its refreshing to see someone in "Hollywood" say what is really on their mind.
I didn't like the movie and I was REALLY looking forward to it. I am tired of spending my money on so-so movies.
How many times during the movie do I need to see slow motion scenes, blasts, fights, stupid humor and close up of megan fox body. I get it, she's beautiful but i came to see the robots. I love action movies but I couldn't follow the fights scenes. Alot of the language was not for young children to begin with.
I hate to see something with so much potential and it gets messed up.
lets see how GI JOE pans out
germany13 - 7/4/2009, 7:31 PM
Ehhh thats dumb on both sides, Bay is an idiot tho, he himself did not make Shia or MEgans careers blow up, the movie which everyone went to see Optimus Prime made them blow up, those people just happened to be in them as a result and got big cause people saw the shit like 328465 million times.
Bark4Soul - 7/4/2009, 9:02 PM
They both need to just shut up. She better watch out before he blows her tampon up 5 times.
Soilworley - 7/4/2009, 9:19 PM
I kinda feel for Bay on this one...you don't shit on the man, or movie franchise, that gave you a career. No matter how you cut it, that's what she did. She kinda comes across as a bit of a bitch, but that's fine, her only job is to entertain us. Kinda reminds me of Katherine Heigle and how she shit all over Grey's Anatomy, even tho no one knew who the hell she was prior.
TheDurkinKnight - 7/4/2009, 10:12 PM
Just watched it and all i can say is that bay's directing needs work. Action scenes that involved shooting were good. the ones involving hand to hand combat were hard to follow. Due to the fact that he used the same camera angles as he would a gun fight. Example.. when prime is fighting the fallen there is a STONE PILLAR IN THE SHOT BLOCKING THE ACTION!!!
Then there is the issue of bay dragging out moments that should be only a few seconds into 5 minutes. Or the constant showing of planes taking off,tanks mobilizing, ppl scrambling to get to there battle stations and so on.
The acting issue could be resolved if bay didn't have 20 year olds trying to act like there 17 and in high school.
also where wa the blood on Shia? he gets blown up and there is no blood. he must be invincible.
Oh there should have been more of jet fire dominating everything
GrayFox - 7/4/2009, 10:35 PM
her complaint would have had some meaning, if any of the actors in that movie, knew anything about acting, if anything they are all mediocre suited best for television shows. micheal bay has worked with great actors like bruce willis, but he just likes to do his thing, you cant change who you are, maybe his movies dont make any sense, but sure the whole world sees em anyways. lets see if ms fox can get a role in a clint eastwood or martin scorcese flick.
realblood33 - 7/5/2009, 12:53 AM
Yes, Megan Fox is inhumanly attractive - but the part that entertains me is the fact that she is trashing the guy who made her career and introduced her to the mainstream audience to begin with. Not only is she trashing on Bay, but she is talking about an issue of which she knows nothing about - ACTING!

Michael Bay's movies may not be primarily about acting, but Megan's acting is not primarily about acting either. If he was looking for great actors, she would still be looking for great jobs.
BLACKWINGS17 - 7/5/2009, 1:39 AM
Cindar: 1) at the end of lord of the rings when the eagles carried frodo off the volcano, why didnt they get one of them to take him there in the first place!?

The ring was too powerful for him to do that, and Sauron would have sensed its presence before Frodo got to the volcano. This was addressed in the big meeting at Rivendell in the first book (think it was called the Council of Elrond). Sounds like you haven't read the books. I'd highly recommend them. One of the greatest stories I ever read. All three in paperback shouldn't run too much and should be easy to find.

Now, as to Fox's comments, Bay sounds more like a spurned boy than a successful director. Fox has a growing reputation for saying stupid things, but she's right here. NOBODY goes to see Transformers for Oscar-caliber acting. We're all there to check her out in those sexy little outfits she's wearing, and to see big robots beat the crap out of each other. Still, she shouldn't insult it too much. Those movies are what made her famous. If she wants to be viewed more seriously as an actress, she should seek a dramatic role for her next film.
comicb00kguy - 7/5/2009, 9:04 AM
This will seem like a bit of a jumbled point as I just woke up and haven't had coffee -__-;, so bare with me.

The original cartoon had a ton of plot holes episode by episode, as did the cartoon movie so I fail to see why RTF was such a debacle in the Transformers universe. Plot issues aside (because we shouldnt care when its a fun summer movie) I think this was a great movie, heres why. Im from Calgary (so right now its Stampede) and so my friends and I decided to go see it in Imax thinking we'd have a theater to ourselves, not the case. We got in line an hour in advance and wound up being a small portion of the 250 people who lined up, no big deal right? Wrong, I'm a fairly out going guy and spoke to a lot of people and it was their 2nd or 3rd time seeing it as well, weird thing is they had nothing but positive things to say... Weird?!

The problem with places like these is the power to type and have your voice heard is synonymous with HAVING to be a giant jerkoff and the type of person where if your personality when you post here was sitting in front of you in a theater, you'd kick his ass.

Did the movie have plot holes? Yeah, did the movie have some comedic parts that it didnt need? Definitely! But I think they know that us die hards will drag our girlfriends who don't care to see Robot mayhem, and there'll be guys who just want to see a movie thats received tons of hype and the stale comedy and mass ensemble of human scenes as opposed to Transformers is unfortunately what these people will enjoy. Its called marketing appeal to every demographic, its what you're supposed to do if you want to be successful. But not only that, but at the end of the day do you think Michael Bay thought "Wow I shouldnt do this because 20 fanboy losers will write mean things about it before their mom calls them up for dinner while the girls dont phone"? Id say to hell with the fan boys if I stuck with as much subject material as he got to and then wanted to filler the rest with ways to make money off other groups.

All in all, I agree with all the negativity I've heard. But its a movie (and a great movie at that), get over it or go earn the rights to direct/write the franchise and make it better (because we all know you can, right?)
RyanTcone - 7/5/2009, 11:35 AM
@ryantcone do you have a favorite sports team? when they lose do you still cheer because they're wearing the colors and the mascot is dancing, or do you complain because they didn't meet your expectations? or maybe you try out for the team the following year and take them to the championship...(because we all know you can, right?)
theeambassador - 7/5/2009, 3:50 PM
"Plot issues aside (because we shouldn't care when it's a fun summer movie)I think this was a great movie."

We shouldn't care because it's a fun summer movie? Give me a break. It's statements like that and people who accept the garbage the studios put out that encourages studios to pump out 3/4 of the garbage that hits the theaters.

So just because the old cartoon had plot holes it's ok that the movie has a ton of them and we should just accept it? Screw that!
alten2345 - 7/5/2009, 4:48 PM
"All in all, I agree with all the negativity I've heard. But its a movie (and a great movie at that), get over it or go earn the rights to direct/write the franchise and make it better (because we all know you can, right?)"

I was waiting for this one. All the positivity police pull it out eventually. Its quite possibly one of the most ridiculous things iv ever seen written anywhere! By some huge leap of logic and sanity, somewhere along the line, saying something negative about a movie became synonymous with being a whiny little prick that sits in his mothers basement, convinced he can make a better movie!

Let me break it down for ya RyanTcone. I thought parts of the movie sucked. I thought it could have been much better. THATS IT! I dont have to get over anything, nor do i have to conform to these apologists that wish everyone would brush the crappy parts under the rug and just accept whats put in front of them. You liked it, i didnt, end of story. If you dont want to hear anymore from people that disliked it, well, your pc has an off switch.

@Ror

This movie is like dating a hot, stupid chick that sucks at giving blow jobs. No matter how good she looks, she's still stupid and still can't suck c*ck.
alten2345 - 7/5/2009, 5:52 PM
I enjoyed ROTF. I think what helped me enjoy it was the credit right at the beginning that listed this movie as a Hasbro creation.
I don't expect an Oliver Stone plot line in a movie about a cartoon that was made to sell a bunch of toys for 6 to 12 year old children. I just enjoyed the pretty colors and load noises. I laughed at the good jokes and shook my head at the stupid ones.
As for comparing this movie to Hangover, I saw that too and there were quite a few stupid juvenile jokes in that too. All of which I enjoyed. You just have to keep the movie in context.
CockKnocker - 7/5/2009, 5:59 PM
alten2345
The funny thing is your analogy works for me. I'm willing to pay for both the stupid movie and the bad BJ.
Even the worst blow job is still pretty great.
CockKnocker - 7/5/2009, 6:03 PM
@CockKnocker

Good to know you don't have any standards.
alten2345 - 7/5/2009, 6:09 PM
@cocknocker yes, all fans of this movie say the same thing,anything will do, so beating off is the same thing as having sex?
theeambassador - 7/5/2009, 6:11 PM
"The original cartoon had a ton of plot holes episode by episode, as did the cartoon movie so I fail to see why RTF was such a debacle in the Transformers universe. Plot issues aside (because we shouldnt care when its a fun summer movie) I think this was a great movie"

Besides the first movie I have no knowledge about the Transformers series, cartoon movie or mythos in general, and I don't care. ROTF being a debacle in the Transformers universe isn't my concern. ROTF being a debacle as a movie? Yeah, more like it...

"Do you think Michael Bay thought "Wow I shouldnt do this because 20 fanboy losers will write mean things about it before their mom calls them up for dinner while the girls dont phone"?"

I love how this seems to be one of the few arguments many ROTF supporters have.

Anti ROTF guy: "Transformers was shit because of [lots of legitimate reasons]"
Pro ROTF guy: "Yeah, you're right about all that. Now run to your mum, get a cookie and whine about how you can't shut off your brain and enjoy a bad movie!"

Again, I'm not a fan of Transformers. Just a fan of movies the creators actually put some effort in.
Kyos - 7/5/2009, 6:15 PM
@alten
I do have standards. But I also know how to put things in perspective. I am not going to evaluate a Bugs-Bunny cartoon with the same standards as The Godfather.
ROTF as a toy based movie I feel falls closer to Bugs. There are so many plot holes in the very concept of alien robots coming to earth and turning into trucks and cars as to become ridiculous.
Yet I can still enjoy the movie by accepting this outrageous premises.
CockKnocker - 7/5/2009, 6:37 PM

Yes.

Masturbation is a form of sex. :)|-^<

@ theambassador
Now if your going to start knocking masturbation, your going to have your hands full with all the fans of that pastime.
CockKnocker - 7/5/2009, 6:46 PM
@ CockKnocker

A stupid premise isn't the same as plot holes. And while I think that the whole Transformers premise is pretty stupid to begin with, wouldn't you (or any other ROTF supporter) agree that if Bay left out the twins, most of the pubertal humour, the robot beards/balls/glasses etc and some of the Shia/Megan scenes ROTF would have been not only a better movie in general, but also a better Transformers movie?
Kyos - 7/5/2009, 6:53 PM
Cocknocker, your forgetting a very important factor in the comparisons you made. The Hangover and Bugs are SUPPOSED to be full of stupid, juvenile stuff..they are comedies! Transformers isnt!..or at least, it wasn't, until ROTF.
Rorschach01 - 7/5/2009, 6:59 PM
@ Rorschach01
I beg to differ.
In the first movie there was a lot of juvenile humor as well:
Bumblebee "lubricates" on John Turturro
Mojo pees on Ironhide
The Father running under the kitchen table with a drink in hand
The whole masturbation discussion with his mother when Fox was hiding in the bedroom.
etc.
CockKnocker - 7/5/2009, 7:09 PM
Yes, there was SOME, maybe even too much, but it was spaced out and integrated well into the main narrative. the 2nd movie was all attempts at humor. Every scene, even the ones that they wanted you to feel a sense of drama or danger was sabotaged by some prick roomate crying or a big pair of [frick]ing devastator balls! The first movie worked. I dont know why, it just did. Bay was obviously given too much free reign with his retarded little whims on the 2nd movie

Oh and Ryan, "Cry Cry Cry"?...Seriously?
Rorschach01 - 7/5/2009, 7:14 PM
@ Kyos
Your correct. I used the wrong words when I said plot holes, I should have said premise.
There were so things that I feel would have been better not being in the movie. But thats true for every single movie I've ever scene. The truth is I really enjoyed the movie because it made me laugh. Its why I will by the DVD. I like to laugh.

CockKnocker - 7/5/2009, 7:17 PM
I will definitely agree on the Devastator balls. What is with the trend of putting male genitals in Scifi movies. First Dr. Manhattans junk now robo balls. Enough already.
CockKnocker - 7/5/2009, 7:20 PM
@ cockknocker nooo thanks i know where there hands have been... this may be lengthy but here's how i feel. i love transformers. obviously. i was doing something and the first transformers was on tv and my girlfriend was talking to me about her day, and it was the part in the alley when they all first met, and i got glued to the tv. she asked me was i daydreaming and i snapped to and said, no it's just the way i always imagined it. to any fan who watched transformers and imagined how it would look in real life, then yes, the TRANSFORMERS were [frick]ing awesome!the movie sucked balls. batman was in batman forever and the dark knight. which would you rather watch? according to you it shouldn't make a difference. if story didn't matter, what happened to the gobots? and they came first. i can't recall a non fan of the movie telling someone why they shouldn't like it, only why they themselves didn't enjoy it. my problem is when people say stfu and like it, then name all the reasons why we don't which have nothing to do with anything, and then agree to what we just said.
theeambassador - 7/5/2009, 7:23 PM
I never said stfu. Making comments is what comments boards are for. I just stated why I liked and why the plot holes and campy humor didn't bother me. I never said anyone else had to like it.
CockKnocker - 7/5/2009, 7:36 PM
@ theambassador
If you felt so strongly about the movie then I can see why some of the camp might bother you. But to me, I saw this in the same light as the Looneytoon movie with Michael Jordan.
CockKnocker - 7/5/2009, 7:38 PM
...it doesn't bother me one bit... it's when people say I have the problem for not liking it... and if transformers and spacejam are the same movie, then, yeah, someone [frick]ed up tremendously. if g.i joe tanks are you going to say you expected hogan's heroes so it's alright?
theeambassador - 7/5/2009, 7:50 PM
@cockknocker

First of all you said the worst blow job is still pretty great. That's indicates a lack of standards to me.

And in response to your comment about Dr. Manhattan: Have you ever read Watchmen?

Comparing Transformers to Space Jam? Wow. That's a first. And the funny thing is you act like that's a compliment lol.
alten2345 - 7/5/2009, 7:51 PM
Exactly, what alten says is pretty important. Many people seem to have a problem with the blue penis on screen. But if you'd be willing to give it a thought, you might find out that there are reasons for Manhattans nuditiy. Him wearing clothes all the time would have been a major change in character.

But Transformer testicles? Just stupid...

"This movie is like dating a hot, stupid chick that sucks at giving blow jobs. No matter how good she looks, she's still stupid and still can't suck c*ck."

^ LMFAO!!!!UAHAHAHA!!!

All I have to say is I'm not watching this film from all the stuff I've heard....I was really expecting positive reviews..and a fan base that would say "movie was good"....but even the fans are saying its terrible.

If the fans are saying this...than screw it...i'll wait for it to come out on dvd....or rent it at the RED BOX...and BURN IT! lol
Aiiwolf - 7/5/2009, 11:42 PM
Aiiwolf not all the fans are slating the movie...and i think people should make there own minds up insteas of following a smaller majority of people who didnt like it...if everyone hated it ...it wouldnt of made money with repeat viewing
teabag - 7/6/2009, 12:48 AM
Wow...quotes from 2 highly intelligent people. Megan needs to shut up! The movie may focus heavily on special effects but you are benefiting from it aren't you? I cant stand ungrateful people.Its transformers..trust me Megan..we all know not to expect serious dialogue.
Michael...stop being such a douche. So what if she is just 23? Doesn't change the fact that she speaks the truth. And what is he smoking? Shia didn't need him to be a star..neither did Haircolas Cage and Ben Affleck. I want some of what he is smoking.
MsKyle08 - 7/6/2009, 8:19 AM
who da hell is cockknocker and why are you questioning Dr. Manhattan's balls?
MsKyle08 - 7/6/2009, 8:20 AM
I'm not much of a fan of Michael Bay's movies, but Fox needs to learn when to shut the hell up. Hollywood is all about who you know, and NOBODY knew her before Transformers. Whether her opinion is correct or not, she shouldn't say anything out of appreciation for getting the role in the first place. If you've never been to Hollywood, I can tell you from personal experience, there are THOUSANDS of hotties. Most of them model/actresses trying to get their big break, she could easily have been replaced by someone else. It's possible a comment like that could kill her career, cause Michael Bay has a lot more ties in the movie-making community than she does.
hescian - 7/6/2009, 8:41 AM
True, Fox is being an ungrateful ingrate for her comments, but at least shes being honest. Thats more than most celebrities can say for themselves. I mean, did you ever watch any of those behind the scene interviews with them? "My co-star is the greatest human being on earth! Our director is amazing and can do no wrong!" blah blah blah. Its all such b@#$%^t because, you know, half the time they are thinking "my co-star is an asshole and the director is an idiot, but I want to make sure I get another role so Im going to pretend I like them." Its so fake it makes me sick.
Shadowelfz - 7/6/2009, 9:43 AM
Why is Dr. Manhatten being brought into this discussion? lol.

Please leave Watchmen out of a 'Megan Fox is an idiot news post'.

Someone seriously needs to hang this chick upside down and have Mexican kids smash her with Pinata clubs. Then we could get all these random home appliances and animals to hump Michael Bay's legs until Bay d!es from being humped nonstop.

That's how we solve world hunger.
Keven - 7/6/2009, 10:40 AM
"I mean, I can't s--- on this movie because it did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don't want to blow smoke up people's a--. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting."

Shes right. This is a fact not an insult as is being suggested. True it sounds a little like She'd like to shit on it if it hadn't done so much for her career, but I assume they did ask her opinion and maybe it's not her cup of tea I mean she is a chik after all.
Acerimmer1 - 7/6/2009, 12:36 PM
@ theambassador
I don't know if anyone can say ROTF tanked. Top ten weekend box office of all time. $591 million and climbing fast is still pretty good.
And if GI Joe is nearly as entertaining as Hogan;s Heroes I will definitely love it.
CockKnocker - 7/6/2009, 1:48 PM

Cocknocker, name one movie that you didnt like please...i want to do a little experiment!
Rorschach01 - 7/6/2009, 3:01 PM
Sure Rorsch.

I'll give a few:

The Ang Lee Hulk movie. I was OK until the ending.
Body Armour. Just poorly made.
Matrix Revolutions. Too complex
Blair Witch Project Just too stupid
Battlefield Earth Need I really say


And here is this. These are movies that most people hated and I really liked them:
The Postman
Waterworld
Napoleon Dynamite
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Tell me doc, my problem is it serious? lol



CockKnocker - 7/6/2009, 5:17 PM
There was one more movie I liked that received a lot of harsh criticism but I will not mention it here, in deference to @Keven. ;) lol

It rhymes with Crotchmen. lol
CockKnocker - 7/6/2009, 5:41 PM
I watched 'The Postman' for the first time about a month ago. Even before it was released there seemed to be nothing but negative feelings towards it, and I never watched it because I thought it must be crap. So I was suprised that I really enjoyed most of it. It's far from being a perfect film, but imo it's just as far from being the biggest piece of shit in the history of cinema, how it was perceived.

'Taken' on the other hand...

Kyos - 7/6/2009, 7:43 PM
Is everyone making assumptions that Fox is dumb off of her lines in films in which she essentially portrays the "shh don't speak, you'll ruin it" character cliche? Have any of you listened to the girl talk? She is far from your run of the mill bimbo.

And please spare me the "She shouldn't take rolls that make her look stupid" bit. Have none of you ever worked for a job that felt slightly demeaning to you?
Vic M - 7/7/2009, 2:12 AM
@cockknocker not tanked, sucked, and you're right, cruel, cruel irony, my girlfriend asked me why i love aqua teen so much, and i couldn't get her to see my point, i just like it! so to each his own... until g.i. joe at least lol...
theeambassador - 7/7/2009, 8:02 AM
@ Teabag

Well, so far everyone I've talked to has given me nothing but terrible criticism on the movie. Alot of these people are comicbook lovers, and others are fans on this site, and some of my co-workers have actually grown up with transformers since the early 80s tv show, and movie....and having them say the things they did.... "Nah, I'll pass (as of now)."

Aiiwolf - 7/7/2009, 11:34 AM
yeah that is true every actor who wasnt big that ended up in one of his movies ended up getting big. personally tho i wouldnt have put her or shia in the movie.
odie00 - 7/11/2009, 11:19 PM
Megan is being honest in a wrong time of her career. If she wanted to insult Bay's film maybe she would have to wait until she becomes a stable actress, or high paid actress like Angelina Jolie or something.
