Bay ripped off his own movie...

Postby SlyTF1 » Sun Nov 06, 2011 6:05 pm

Motto: "Destruction is the ultimate freedom."
Weapon: Plasma Beam Rifle
Alright, now I'd be the last person to bash Michael Bay...but this is...interesting? I'm watching Armageddon on TV right now and...there's this scene that closely resembles when that S7 agent in the first movie revealed Megatron. Except it was a space ship instead of Megatron.

Then right after that, the same song plays that plays in DOTM when Sam is looking for a job. The EXACT same song with a similar filming style. Taking clips from different occurrences and putting them together...not in order.

And then they go to a place that looks just like the Autobot base in the beginning of ROTF.

I'm sorry, but this was just too obvious to keep to myself.

He does that quiet often actually. Here's a video that shows the footage taken from "The Island" and used in DOTM.

No, it really isn't a big deal when it saves money, yet makes billions in return. More directors should as efficient and cost cutting as he is.

YES, what is or is not considered a BIG DEAL is up for each of us to decide for our own.So it is a matter of opinion.

It is 10-15 seconds of a scene in a movie that's 2.5 hours long. If that's seriously a big deal for people, then their priorities are screwed up. Big time.

No one should have an opinion of a 15 to 30 second clip of film as inconsequential as this.

I'm sorry but no, it's not.

Also you should be aware that the scene were he lifted footage from The Island replaced the footage were that woman was badly injured during filming. But if he'd used that footage you'd still criticize him of course. :roll:

I'm sorry, but it most definitely is.

Or debate over the issue is proof of that.

You obviously do not know me very well......now I understand why you chose that name. :APPLAUSE:

10-15 seconds or 10-15 hours, it doesnt change the fact that considering itor not seeing it as a BIG DEAL is a matter of opinion.

And everyone should have an opinion about everything, to suggest other wise is not only ignorant in nature, but it advocates for future ignorance to prevail
