I was just going to leave this alone. Oh well. After doing a little more research into the development of Transformers 2, I discovered that the writers' strike occurred not long after the three writers for the film had been hired. Micheal Bay knew the strike was coming, so he locked his writers in their hotel and insisted…
To be honest, a lot of his other films would probably benefit from him learning such a skill. And this is Polycount. I think most of us are on the same page where self-improvement and training come into play. Yes, I do think it would benefit Mr. Bay to learn a little bit more about script writing.

Not only for the first! Inspired by you, Per, I had decided to make use of my exceptional Internet Investigation Skills and Google-Fu to discover the full story behind the script of Transformers 2.

From what I've been reading, everyone involved is highly aware of what went wrong with the second movie. Too over the top, too ambitious, and all without having a solid script due to the writers strike. Bringing in Ehren Krueger as a writer is a good choice. Apparetntly he really impressed Hasbro with his knowledge of the…
-You are seriously putting forward the argument that financial success is the same thing as quality? You know better than that. -No argument on Micheal Bay's success. He makes blockbuster movies that earn a lot of money. It is his MO. -Now here is where we're really going to have to disagree. Micheal Bay is a good…
