Pearl Harbor...so what, the action is great and it makes me cry! Transformers...ok it's about talking robots, lol. but it's thick-as-shit noisy fun! The Island... it's the only other one i'v seen. i think i might have fallen asleep.
Never seen Armageddon, Bad Boys, The Rock or Bad Boys 2.

Never seen Armageddon, Bad Boys, The Rock or Bad Boys 2. if you like noisy fun, you have to see some of the above movies. I also wasn't that impressed with the Island.

 Re: Rate the Michael Bay Movies - The Director some love/hate!
See like I said, love and hate! As except for Billy Boy, most are on opposite sides. And then there is Nebs vs Riggs etc....
I wanted to post the poll results from about 6/7/8? voters as they are interesting. The Rock and Transformers are clearly the most favored...and I am the only one voting for Armageddon! and no votes for Bad Boys. Very Interesting!. Good Job?
Anyway, going to change the poll to allow revolts. Cause a Michael Bay Movie is never over till the last explosion
What are your 2 Favorite Michael Bay Directed Movies (7.40) - Transformers (2007) 25% [ 3 ] (7.20) - The Rock (1996) 41% [ 5 ] x (6.90) - The Island (2005) 8% [ 1 ] (6.50) - Bad Boys (1995) 0% [ 0 ] (6.20) - Bad Boys II (2003) 0% [ 0 ] (6.00) - Armageddon (1998/I) 8% [ 1 ] x (5.40) - Pearl Harbor (2001) 8% [ 1 ] Hate Michael Bay - Don't Like any of his Movies 8% [ 1 ] Total votes : 12

The Rock. Bad Boys 1.
He was good before he directed his films with a sledgehammer and a particle accelerator.

The Rock A Transformers A The Island A Bad Boys B+ -------------------------- Armageddon C Pearl Harbor D+ Bad Boys II - Havnt Seen
I think The Rock, Transformers and The Island are all entertaining funrides and you really cant get much better in terms of summer blockbusters.
Armageddon I really wanted to love but just cant and Pearl Harbour may be the single most dissapointing film ever for me. I'd give it an F but the visuals were quite stunning IIRC.

 Re: Rate the Michael Bay Movies - The Director some love/hate!
The Rock, Bad Boys, Bad Boys II-textbook action genre movies.
The Island, Pearl Harbor and Armageddon- Bay cannot handle a movie with a message.
Transformers - it had a piss joke, enough said.

 Re: Rate the Michael Bay Movies - The Director some love/hate!
Somehow, I've only seen two Bay movies. I have three on DVD (one of which is Bad Boys, which I've yet to watch).
Transformers is great. Yeah, it's a little long, but I mean it's a movie about giant robots that turn into things. Of course it's big, loud and visually great. That last one did pertain to Megan Fox though... but the robots were no slouches either.
I've only seen The Island once but it seemed to be better than the reviews it received. I could just be romanticizing it in my head.

To me The Rock and Armageddon are simillar so I agree with the people that rate them closely. Either like or hate them both but rate them the same way. And on the Rock, it is true: Nick Cage screaming, loud & big fight/action scenes, crazy scenes etc..... But for me, I love them both!
