Sounds like he's just chicking out, if he cared about the movies he wouldn't let anyone talk him out of it. But on the other hand this could open new doors for future Transformers movies

That sucks!

i understand him saying that the critics are to hard some times but seriously? they can say that they would rather have a pineapple shoved up their a$$' by a man with tits on his head than see another one of his transformers films but as long as it is banking lots of money who cares what the critics say. I usually like what the critics say is bad or mediocer anyways.

i thought that the only people b!tc#ing were all the whiney little fanboys who want there Transformer movie to be the deepest most profound movie ever made

Seriously though I loved the first movie, how could you ask for anything more from a movie where the base material is giant robots fighting each other and I'm sure that I'm going to love the second movie

Sucks that Bay let the critics get to him

Micheal Bay without explosions is like Porn without sex. It won't work! Besides throw enough money at him and he will change his tune.

He's in a class all his own

I'm not a big Bay-phile or Transformers-phile but it seemed like a good fit. I kinda go by what I like and what I like to see in the theatre more than what a movie review or a critic says. Althought there is is this guy Joe who apparently loves crappy movies...and he seems to have this whole word of mouth thing down to a system...

@danhimself:
Bay kinda screwed up the franchise--as a fanboy, I have the right to complain.  I mean first off--he destroyed the All-spark, letting his crap about independence from what created him destroy years of good work.  Furthermore, he spent much of the movie with dumb jokes--i mean seriously, when the mom asks Sam if he was masturbating i was pretty annoyed.  He should give better effort.  He also was always condescending and disregarded the fans--like laughing away the idea of Dinobots or saying he could never have Bumblebee be a VW beetle.  Fanboys are the people who got there to be the movie in the first place.  I suggest there be a third film, maybe a reboot, directed by Louis Letterier (he directed Incredible Hulk and is remaking Clash of the Titans).
That said, I'm sorry Bay had an unpleasant excperience working with Transformers.  Everyone should enjoy working with something that cool.  Maybe if he was happier, or people were nicer, he might have done a better job.  The visual effects were pretty darn cool.

PS  Transformers ARE NOT robots--they are aliens.

Screw the critics!
Harshing him before it's even done...shame on 'em!
