Cool Videos: Film critics say nice things about Michael Bay

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Michael Bay is a polarizing director in the sense that movie fans either unabashedly hate the man who directed TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION, ARMAGEDDON, THE ROCK, BAD BOYS, as well as producing countless remakes of horror films and next month’s TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, or fans love him unapologetically. Whichever category you fall into, chances are you recognize that film critics rarely side on the positive when it comes to Bay.

Jimmy Kimmel, never one to miss an opportunity to make fun of a celebrity, decided that there had to be something nice that critics could say about Michael Bay. Kimmel then challenged some of the post esteemed critics working today (where the heck are our JoBlo.com staff?) and forced them to find something nice to say about Bay. The results are a mixed bag but clearly the critics had to dig deep to find some good qualities in the director.

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION is now playing and TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES opens on August 8th.
