Michael Bay Admits That Transformers 2 Was "Crap"
Michael Bay has bitten the bullet and publicly admitted the shortcomings of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.
In an interview with Empire, Bay referred to the sequel as “crap”.
He admitted: “We made some mistakes...the real fault with [Transformers 2] is that it ran into a mystical world.
“When I look back at it, that was crap. The writers’ strike was coming hard and fast. It was just terrible to do a movie where you’ve got to have a story in three weeks.”
He blamed the script for problems with the film explaining, “It’s a BS way to make a movie; do you know what I’m saying?”
Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura defended the film against some of the critical onslaught: “Critics have missed the boat on a very simple thing: audiences love to be entertained. People just ganged up on it.”
