I hate Micheal Bay... He makes movies where the only thing substantial are the explosions. And I need a movie to have a little bit more content to make me happy.

I go see Michael Bay movies for the action, so I'm not really concerned with the portrayal of women.

He's right, its mostly young boys that see his films so of course he's going to show lots of hot girls. Points for Bay for making Fox gain weight because he didn't want a skin and bones chick in his film (guys like meatier girls, the only people who like skin and bones tend to be other women. weird).

That said I still think Megan Fox looks like a burnt out ex-porn star.

Michael Bay's portrayal of anything bugs me. It's amazing to me that people continue to consume his films. I suppose sometimes you just want to zone out to something loud, bright and flashy, but why not just get a strobe light, put on some industrial music, pour some gasoline on a toy car, turn up the stereo and set it on fire? If you film it, it'll probably be on par with what Michael Bay does.

BTW, Roger Ebert's review of Transformers 2--effing hilarious! I love when he gets snarky on bad movies.

I don't think you can be upset with Michael Bay's portrayal of women without dragging a whole slew of other filmmakers, musicians, tv producers, etc. into the mix. A lot of artists protray women as sexual objects. It's up to the viewer if they choose to see it as art, entertainment, or offensive.

That aside, I just stay away from Bay's movies because I don't find them entertaining. Nothing to do with the women as sex objects thing.

I had never watched a Michael Bay's movie before Transformers (the first one). And I swear I'd rather have my fingers hammered than watching another one again.

I think boys would go just to see things get blown up in this case

Megan Fox should not be saying women have to be portrayed in such a manner to get people to see movies in one breath and then complain in the next that she's worried about being labeled a sexpot like Scarlet Johanssen.

I thought that Fox's poses were a little unnatural and forced for the film, to make her look sexy. She looks good most of the time, even though her lips are crazy from the plastic surgery.

I don't mind. I was glad to hear that he insisted she gain a bit of weight for the sequel though, that impressed me.

Well, considering he objectifies guys as well (countless shirtless and tight jeans scenes), it's equally gratuitous. While I'm not a Bay fan, I have to agree with Smacks83 and giving him props for making Megan gain weight.

Let's put an unattractive girl in the lead role and see what happens...

It's ridiculous I think to believe that he tells these girls to act super sexy, especially when that girl is Megan Fox. She probably wanted to do the whole movie in a towel. It's possible!

I don't care about seeing his movies in general. And I've already questioned Megan Fox's appeal. Her stupid comments just make me question it even more. The one that bugged me the most is implying that a female actress would only be using "big" words only to prove she isn't stupid. Women can be articulate, Megan. They're not trying to prove they aren't dumb.

i think if you go to see a Michael Bay film you know three things for certain its full of large explosions, great CGI and sexy girls. If you dont like it dont see it surely??

the best thing michael bay has ever done is the amex commercial making fun of himself

I can't stand the way his movies mostly tend to portray women as sex objects or damsels---I was just noticing it the other day when Megan said in an interview basically all she does in this film is run around in short shorts, and cry a lot. Shia's character and the army dudes all get to have a contribution to the action and be heroic and clever, but the girls are just there to look pretty? Lame! It's not like the movie isn't bloody long enough to put a decent female character in.

I totally agree with Phil!

So, Michael Bay thinks its OK to treat women as objects because the movie targets young boys!!!!!OMG Bay is a jerk and I would never go see his movies. Where does he think young boys get some of their ideas about women. WHERE ARE THE ROLE MODELS????

it was a little offensive and unrealistic.

eh...he does what all other filmmakers do.

LOL @ whoever said MF looks like a burnt out ex porn star!

Michael Bay is just so Gay. I mean, all of his work is about explosions and useless things.....

There is nothing about Michael Bay's movies that don't bug me. The only significant thing about them is that they revealed just how much spending power the 9-15 boy really has. And what pisses me off most of all is the defense people have for his movies, "You have to turn your brain off to enjoy his movies." I have a better idea. Why not take a nap? Or get a knife from the kitchen and stab yourself. Either way, you're saving 10 dollars and "turning off your brain".

The fakes of South Korean slaves.
At the end of world war 2,the many of Japanese must went to the Japan as their homeland, but there　was a large problem. It was Korean murder. The problem of Korean murder had been discussed by their relations of war which South Korean slaves joined. Like Korean war, and Vietnam war, and Nanjing conflict with Japan. Until the Korean war continued, the many of people which was regarded as a north Korean communist or their familiar relations were killed by South Korean army and officers.
South Korean military police had been killed their own nation's for about 200000 peoples as "north Korean relations "for their fakes and US military forces had regarded as nothing had happened.
So South Korean slaves's criminal had been varnished from their dirty plan and their f*ckin history, but North Korean didn't accept it. They insisted why the South Korean slaves's criminal was not discussed to correct under the international conversation like the mass media and the world wide web.
And Vietnam war, South Korean slaves rape the prisoner of Vietnam’s females and children. And many of Vietnam’s orphans made by south Korean slaves had been appeared at that time.
But league of nations didn't discussed this problem, and present this time, South Korean slaves behave as though nothing had happened about those problems.
One thing will becomes other things, the man of South Korean slaves's criminal appeared the side of those war, but only a few people know what they were, and to regret to say, the many of American trust the south Korean slaves's fakes and regard as their criminal as Japanese did until the present time. For example Yoko Kawashima had written the some novels which described the south Korean slaves's rape the foreign females during the end of world war 2 ,but many of South Korean slaves try to destroy this novels for fear to appear the truth which their crime like rape, murder, stealing at the present time. And they made California congress erase those novels and the yoko's story becomes not adopt their school books for f*ckin South Korean slaves’s faking history in California. And the story has gone. It means that South Korean slaves made the fakes in the world history as south Korean slaves is goddamn innocence neither to blame nor to do and rapes the all of student’s brain of California at the point of destroyed their own history of truth by f*ckin South Korean fakes.
The many of South Korean slaves who live in USA are so delight as their crime has gone, and the all of Japanese are becomes to blame, because all of South Korean slaves 's crime has happened for hate of Japan, and they think all of their hate only erase by crime which murder, rape, stealing at the all of the world. Even those things exists, to trust the South Korean slaves's various fakes at the no warning is nothing more safeness than never at the view to know the truth. The all of South Korean criminal called burakumin in Japan who disguise the Japanese and use the Japanese name and language said absolutely only fakes, and sometimes they disguise the Japan and Japanese perfectly, and had been made the various criminal to rape and kill the foreign females since long time ago at the all of the world.
Never trust the south Korean slaves for your safeness and to search the their fakes, you will get some kind of fragments of truth of history which destroyed by south Korean slaves rape the history of the world. They are such the only inferior races.
