Most people by now would know when they're watching a Micheal Bay film. For those who are unfamiliar with his work, I've compiled an easy checklist so that you too, will be able to tell when you are watching a Micheal Bay movie.
American flag waving proudly in either the background or used as an establishing shot in the foreground
A character looks forlornly at the Sunset
A character looks forlornly at the sunrise
Military vehicles
Military Weaponry
Military jargon
Military missiles
token funny black guy
Token funny latino guy
Token funny ethnic stereotype if token funny latino or black guy isn't available
Ill conceived moment of humour
Shouting
homosexual joke, usually done in a way where the main character is mistakenly assumed to be gay, Look to: Bad Boys II and Transformers Dark of the Moon for examples.
Highly saturated colours, often either orange or blue tinged. Usually combined with a sunset or sunrise.
Car chases
Sports cars
Explosions (Duh)
Questionable physics
Polt inaccuracies
Rock music that thinks it's on the edge.
A panning 360 degree shot of our protagonists, usually with the sunset in the background.
Artistic musical dissonance: In other words, a well written and composed orchestral piece played amidst a highly energetic action sequence, used to class up the action.
Helicopter flying to a government destination, usually combined with a shot of the sun in the background.
If your movie has six of these or more, you're watching a Michael Bay Movie. If you have a problem with any of these things being in a movie, well then...
Fuck You. He's Michael Bay.
