    In other words; he was too "slow" to realize that his movies were supposed about Cybertronians instead of humans.

    Are you seriously suggesting Michael Bay is mentally handicapped because his movies didn't appeal to hardcore fans?

    I mean, I guess it's not the worst thing people have said about him...

    I think time will tell. I sort of suspect that Bay won't be working on any more big franchise movies, but mainly because he doesn't seem to want to. I think he enjoys making his own projects better, considering how often he tried to "retire" from Transformers. I think he'll still make movies though.

    With how unprofessional he is on set and the amount of yes-mans he was influenced with in the past, how is this surprising?

    He's also got no woman in his life soo.... yeah.

    Given how he apparently has two other projects in the woodwork I'm gonna say... probably not.

    You imply he's 'slow', and when asked for clarification on what you mean you say that his alleged unprofessional behavior and who he associates himself with should make it obvious. How do those things relate to each other in any way whatsoever?

    Also why do you care if he has a woman 'in his life' or not? How is that at all relevant to his career or whether or not he's 'slow'? He's not really that bad looking and has enough money, so I doubt he's incapable of getting tail, if that's what you mean.

    Look man, the Bay movies are garbage, but saying these kinds of things is really silly.

    Again. You are suggesting someone is mentally handicapped because his movies don't please fans and now because... he isn't in a relationship with a woman? He has a mental disorder because of factors that in no way contribute to a mental disorder developing? Okay. Says more about you than him.

    Idk; I'm 22. He's 54 years old and still a virgin with mental issues for petty filming mistakes based on multiple interviews.

    This should be the thread closer right here. OP presented an untrue statement and this is the actual answer. I can't see the thread progressing in a meaningful way with a false statement right off the bat.

    You have to keep in mind that there are a lot of people in Hollywood are single or jump around in relationships. Some are certainly happily married, but celebrities being single or lacking a consistent partner isn't terribly uncommon. Hollywood is a different world than we're used to. And Bay's lack of a relationship might have something to do with how his movies portray women.

    I've never seen Bay as slow or mentally handicapped. I mean, he very well could have some sort of disorder, but I've never seen evidence of it, and I think it's kind of unfair to jump to that conclusion. I've always just seen him as a guy who likes making a specific type of movie. And he executes that type of movie well, he seems to know what he's doing. I'd imagine you have to be pretty sharp on your feet to handle large-scale action scenes and to manage large budgets effectively.

    I can't say I consider Bay a "good" filmmaker, but that's mostly because his filmmaking priorities are different than mine. I value story, he values spectacle. But I'll admit he does what he does well.

    I recall an interview with his mother that Bay had symptoms of ADHD, but that's about it.

    My guess is no it has not; Bay may be directing his energies to less grandiose movies but he’ll probably only stop making movies when he’s dead.

    Well I wouldn't say he was "slow". I'd say he didn't care that much. My problem with the movies is not that there's too many humans in them. My biggest issue is that the robots lack good characterization and proper portrayal.

    Bay gets too much shit from people. And no, his career has absolutely not been destroyed. Like some others suggested; do some research. The chap literally shits money either way.

    Excellent signature by the way. Superb photo and quote.
