True story, after never watching many of them (I’ve only seen iron man 1, guardians 1/2), I randomly saw Dr Strange on the TV the other night. It wasn’t actually that bad at all until the last 45-60 mins of random CGI fight crap
Both bad boys films have some great action and some funny moments. Number 2 has one of the most insane car chase scenes in history.
I’m looking forward to the 3rd one, hopefully bay directs it too. He cops a lot of stick but he does action scenes and stuff getting destroyed better than anyone
Just on Michael Bay (not a fan) I saw this bizarre true crime film with The Rock, Marky Mark and Fat Amy, oh…and creepy director from Truman, on telly the other night.
It was pretty good.
Weren’t too many explosions.
Saw him in the credits and went, ‘huh. Well fancy.’

Because it’s only intention is to scare you and it has a very particular rhythm to doing it.
Unlike all other genres it doesn’t require character development, a moral, drama, humour(although a lot of horrors do have a degree of it) good dialogue, backstory or any number of tools required to capture an audiences attention.
You can check your brain in at the door and still be entertained.
Although that description probably applies to most Michael Bay films.
