Michael Bay is a pretty big deal. A director with a style instantly identifiable by even the normie-ist of film goers, a reckless tangle of CGI, vrooming cameras and ADHD editing all together forming something that is subjectively 'Dynamic and Epic'. This odd mix has made him one of the biggest directors in Hollywood, but not the most critically acclaimed.
Megadirectors don't just render into existence. They need to start somewhere and Bay comes from the same place that Spike Jones, Michel Gondry, and David Fincher were spawned: MTV. Bay's music video high point? Meat Loaf's 'I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That).
