Transformers: Age Of Extinction - 10 Ways Michael Bay Stole Your Money
9. He Won't Listen To Criticism
Famously, Roger Ebert called Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen a horrible experience of unbearable length, which also provided him with the title for a book of reviews subtitled More Movies That Suck. That sums up Eberts attitude to Bays oeuvre, though since his passing the torch has been handed to Rolling Stones Pete Travers. Travers claimed Revenge Of The Fallen has a shot at the title Worst Movie Of The Decade and called Dark Of The Moon bereft of wit, wonder, imagination and any genuine reason for being, so Bay has a few words for him this time around. When Richard Riehles cinema owner bemoans the state of modern movies, claiming theyre all sequels or remakes, another character swats aside the remark, claiming Riehle is old and senile. If only Bay paid as much attention to his scripts.
