The scene where they need to perform surgery in a speeding ambulance and they FaceTime 2 surgeons, and the surgeons are like: No stress! It’s Easy Peasy. I just thought; that’s something that would be in a Michael Bay movie, FFS!
There’s no way that’s happening in a real flying ambulance without it going pear shaped.
That’s just a malpractice suite waiting to happen!
It’s pretty obvious that the majority of every Micheal Bay film budget goes to special effects!
Clearly very little of it goes into the script writing…
Basic dialogue and an unbelievable plot.
Oh, and every single character in all his films only has one dimension, FFS!
It’s like he has a book of clichés and he interchanges them between his movies.
Let’s look at this film…
Jake Gyllenhaal. The quintessential bad guy. When they were briefly telling his back story, it’s like he’s a bad guy for the sake of being a bad guy.
Then there’s the returning war hero veteran who’s broke and needs to make money so he’s talked into the job. But later on (cliche alert!) he had a crisis of conscience and ultimately becomes the hero and saves the day.
Then there’s the tough as nails woman who doesn’t take crap, but is haunted by her one character flaw. I can’t remember, was she a druggie?
Let’s be honest… If Michael decided to make the woman the returning veteran and the other guy the druggie, would it even effect the script?
And have you noticed that every female character in all his films are a 10/10?!
Do you think that someone like Melissa Mccarthy, you know, an actress who has charisma and who is actually talented would get the lead female part in one of his films?
I apologize in advance for this next part…
What’s up with his filming style? I understand it’s an action film, but does he really have to over emphasize it?
Here’s a typical Michael Bay scene: Car speeding, overhead shot but zoom in super fast! Explosion! Camera pan around super fast! Zoom in on lead characters face to show how serious it is… Another explosion! Super fast zoom out! Ect ect…
All that in a matter of seconds. I never noticed it before, until I watched his last movie Underground 6. I had to stop watching halfway through because I got motion sickness! Lol, sorry if I brought this to your attention. It’s hard to unsee when you notice it.
And did any of you notice the title? ‘ambuLAnce’… Emphasis on the LA. I can only assume he put that there for his hardcore base fans. You know, to continuously remind them that the film is set in LA. I don’t know what that says about his fan base, but I can speculate. ?
But you know what? I can forgive all that if it wasn’t for his biggest cardinal sin…
And I’ll never forgive him for this: Everybody knows that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were created when some pet turtles got exposed to radioactive waste in the sewer! And Splinter was a Japanese sensei before also being exposed made him into a rat.
In fact, Shredder was his student once upon a time.
But I guess that’s too complicated for a Michael Bay film.
He was like: Scrap all that. We’ll just say they came from space! lollol
How to make a Michael Bay film 101.
Rant over.
Anybody wanna offer me a counter argument? Lol, bring it! ?
