When people go to the movies to see a film on the big screen, they are often looking for an escape. While everyone has their own preferences for what type of film they like to escape into, the action genre is an immortal territory for many cinema fans.<\/p>\n

With significant advances in special effects and filmmaking techniques, the action film has evolved into a digital wonderland, often filled with explosions and lots of gunfire. Few directors embody the essence of the action flick better than Michael Bay. While he isn’t always a movie critic’s poster child, Bay is renowned for his thrilling films that draw huge audiences into theaters.<\/p>\n

14 <\/span>Transformers: The Last Knight (15%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Bay’s bread and butter has been the\u00a0Transformers <\/em><\/a>franchise\u00a0for some time, with this 2017 release being the fifth installment in the film series. This time around, Optimus Prime and Mark Wahlberg enter the realm of fantasy<\/a>, roping in the legend of King Arthur with the robots in disguise. Certainly a daring concept, the film just can’t seem to find its footing with the story and the resulting product is quite silly, despite being an explosive spectacle.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Transformers: Age Of Extinction (18%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Transformers\u00a0<\/em>series might not be known for high critical praise, but there is no denying that audiences seem to adore the Autobots and Decepticons blowing up city after city. This fourth installment in the series swaps previous lead, Shia LaBeouf, for Mark Wahlberg and introduces some new giant mechs called the Dinobots. While the exhilarating special effects have been praised, the script and characters noticeably lack human qualities.<\/p>\n

12 <\/span>Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen (20%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There seems to be a running theme with critics disliking the\u00a0Transformers\u00a0<\/em>series and fans flocking to the theaters to see them anyway. This box office hit is the first sequel<\/a> to the initial film and brings back many of the same characters from the original. Despite the fan service and bombastic special effects, the film is too big for its own shoes, falling into the category of drawn-out nonsense with no sense of order or purpose.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Bad Boys II (23%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In many ways,\u00a0Bad Boys II\u00a0<\/em>is the quintessential Michael Bay film. Explosions, gunfights every 15 minutes, stupid one-liners, and crass humor fill this epic movie to the brim. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return as two Miami cops with a penchant for destructive methods as they attempt to stop drugs from pouring into their city. While critics have bashed it as offensive dribble, fans of mindless action flicks still embrace it as something of a holy grail. Although it is certainly better than the licensed game that was released beside it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Pearl Harbor (24%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Michael Bay movies tend to be fiery and explosive, so in a way, it is only logical that he tries his hand at a war film. Following a handful of real-life historical characters and some fictional ones wrapped up in a romantic triangle, the movie displays a melodramatic retelling of the attack on Pearl Harbor that sent the United States into WWII.<\/p>\n

The film has some intense moments displaying the brutalities of battle, but the three hour running time and awkward dialogue make this one of the more forgettable war pictures in recent memory.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Transformers: Dark Of The Moon (35%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The third installment in the\u00a0Transformers\u00a0<\/em>finds the\u00a0Decepticons up to their old tricks as they attempt to take over Earth through an evil robot army concealed on the Moon. The film improves on certain aspects of the series, heavily emphasizing an innovative 3-D experience, more engaging characters, and strong voice-acting, but the story and main characters still fall flat. Regardless, the film was a huge success when it hit theaters and is still one of the highest-grossing movies of all time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>6 Underground (36%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Michael Bay’s most recent picture marked his entrance into the streaming game with this Netflix spy thriller starring Ryan Reynolds as a billionaire who fakes his own death to create a vigilante squad to take down terrorists. The film features some stunning locations from around the world and marks Bay’s return to a “realistic” narrative that isn’t overrun with giant robots. Nonetheless, the movie tends to be marked by a rehashed plot that lacks significant depth beyond things being blown up.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Armageddon (38%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Bay’s movies tend to be star-studded, but\u00a0Armageddon\u00a0<\/em>turns it up to eleven with a celebrity packed collection of actors, including Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Owen Wilson, Billy Bob Thornton, and Steve Buscemi in a sci-fi disaster romp about deep sea oil drillers tasked with saving the planet from a giant asteroid.<\/p>\n

While the film was a tremendous success with theater-goers, critics have noted the scientific inaccuracies and choppy editing as major underlining issues.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>The Island (40%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sci-fi movies are often a reflection of society’s values, commonly pitting an individual against an authoritarian entity that restricts freedom. Michael Bay crafts a dystopian world similar to classic sci-fi films, TV shows, and games<\/a> in this harrowing flick involving a man’s discovery that his perfect utopian world is not all it seems. While it may lack the distinctive absurdity Bay’s movies are known for, the acting and chase sequences assist in keeping the tensions high.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Bad Boys (42%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The buddy-cop film has been a top grossing genre for a number of years, and nothing has defined the modern iteration of the style more than the\u00a0Bad Boys\u00a0<\/em>series. It all began with this famed first film, which was also Michael Bay’s first feature length picture he directed. While it may not rewrite the genre’s formula, it polishes it down to a tee, filling every minute with as many explosions, snarky jokes, and flying bullets as possible. The film established Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as blockbuster film actors and Michael Bay as director beyond capable of filling a theater.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Pain & Gain (50%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While most of Michael Bay’s films are far-fetched action fests, he proves he is capable of tacking real life events with\u00a0Pain & Gain<\/em>. Based off true events (with artistic liberties taken of course), Mark Wahlberg stars in this heist film<\/a> involving three bodybuilders who plan to get what’s theirs through a kidnapping scheme that goes haywire. Trading in the grandiose explosions for big muscles and big money, Bay focuses more on humorous satire and uber-violence in this caper.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi (51%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Another Michael Bay film that is based on true events,\u00a013 Hours\u00a0<\/em>is the story of the contracted soldiers who defended the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi from a militant group in 2012. While there is still plenty of explosions and gunfights, this is a much more dangerous film with a deeper sense of threat. The script is somewhat confusing and tends to drift aimlessly, but the elements of modern war are quite bitter and realistic.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Transformers (58%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The film that sent the\u00a0Transformers\u00a0<\/em>into the modern era. The first of the modern series is a classic among fans for its fun demeanor, colorful cast of characters, and high-octane action scenes. Using state of the art digital special effects, Bay crafts an imaginative world in which alien robots can transform into and out of the shapes of vehicles. The attention to detail on each robot is impressive and sets forth a creative trend that would continue for the next films in the franchise.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>The Rock (66%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A brew of the heist genre, the prison escape genre, and the espionage thriller,\u00a0The Rock\u00a0<\/em>is truly Michael Bay’s action opus. Starring ex-James Bond<\/a> actor, Sean Connery, as a political prisoner and Nicolas Cage as a chemical weapons specialist, this movie pits the two unsuspecting partners into government recruitment to infiltrate Alcatraz and stop a renegade group of soldiers from blowing up San Francisco. Filled with engaging action and high pressure stakes, this is one of the most timeless “race against time” action films of all time.<\/p>\n
