10 Directors Who Knew Their Movies Were Ridiculous

Michael Bay's Transformers adaptations aren't the kinds of movies that feature Academy Award-winning performances, though the sound and visual effects were nominated for the first three films. Still, few people go to the movies to watch giant robots battling it out with the hope of seeing another Citizen Kane.

They're popcorn movies, and they do incredibly well when it comes to raking in tons of cash at the global box office. Regardless of their financial success, the movies are somewhat ridiculous by nature, though few would expect Bay to acknowledge this in any way, but the man truly hated Revenge of the Fallen.

Bay has been vocal about the problems he had in making the first sequel in the Transformers franchise, and he's admitted to several problems with production:

“We made some mistakes. The real fault with [‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’] is that it ran into a mystical world. When I look back at it, that was crap. The writers’ strike was coming hard and fast. It was just terrible to do a movie where you’ve got to have a story in three weeks. I was prepping a movie for months where I only had 14 pages of some idea of what the movie was. It’s a BS way to make a movie.”
