11 Flat Out Lies We Were Told Just To Sell A Movie (And We Stupidly Believed)

5. "We've Learnt From The Last One" - Michael Bay On Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

It'€™s like a story out of the school playground. Someone does something very bad, apologies for it, and then proceeds to do the exact same bad thing again. The only difference is that this situation involves billions of dollars.

The first Transformers movie may not have been universally panned (thanks to Steven Spielberg'€™s endorsement), but it was hardly beloved. Despite that, Michael Bay ignored the criticisms of everyone else and continued in the same direction with the sequel. With even more perving shots of military weaponry and Megan Fox than before, the second lost both the critics'€™ slight favour and fell mercy to some of the fans.

The worst film I've had the displeasure of coming across, Revenge Of The Fallen is the sort of thing I can'€™t believe anyone would admit to liking. It€™'s so bad even Bay, the man who shovelled it into cinemas, publicly apologised. He may have missed the point of what went wrong, however, blaming the writer's strike and fantasy slant instead of his bombastic direction.

Still, he did then claim he'€™d learn from his mistakes and would make The Dark Of The Moon a good film. We€'™re still waiting for an apology for that one.
