Correction....
"Pain and gain" may have ranged somewhere between breaking even and turning a small profit (courtesy of The Rock). The other 2 most recent Non-TF films directed by Bay within the last 12 years (13 Hours and The Island) have both Flopped...DO THE MATH! That track record is not the making of a "genius Director". Even as a producer that last Turtle sequel under-performed.
Again...No issue with Anthony Hopkins, loved is most of his previous work. Bay's crap is where it stops.
What else is playing that weekend...?

Hmmm..... Enough that it's safe to be believe that "genius" quote was part of his script via marketing.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

13 Hours actually turned a profit, so not sure (Budget $50,000,000 (estimate), Gross Takings US alone - $52,853,219 + Worldwide - $69,411,370). So maybe YOU do the maths.
-edit-
Now I do have the giggles.
Pain & Gain
Budget - $26,000,000 (estimated)
Gross - $49,874,933 (USA) + $86,175,291 (worldwide)
Opening weekend - $20,244,505 (USA)
So not only did Pain & Gain make a "small" profit, it nearly made its money back on the opening weekend.![]()

As for The Island, every director has a bomb. Clearly he's bounced back from it though.
So keep stretching there to justify your hate for Bay. It gives me giggles.

I never heard anything about Hugo being on set for ROTF or DOTM not sure about movie 1 though since I was a kid then and the news websites were not as "organised" compared to now.
Then again the voice actors are pretty much never on set which is usually why we only hear about voice actors via announcements only a couple months prior to a movie coming out or sometimes early like what we heard for Peter Cullen and John Goodman for this movie.
Only exception to this is Mark Ryan where he is on set sometimes to double as some characters on set for the actors to react to while filming the scenes, in the end most of these voices are dubbed over by a character's proper voice actor in the movie for example he did this a few times during DOTM filming despite the fact he doesn't voice anyone in the movie.

Collider: As the voice of Megatron, has Michael Bay called about the next Transformers movie yet?
WEAVING: No. That’s a weird job for me because it honestly was a two-hour voice job, initially. I was doing a play and I actually didn’t have time, anyway. It was one of the only things I’ve ever done where I had no knowledge of it, I didn’t care about it, I didn’t think about it. They wanted me to do it. In one way, I regret that bit. I don’t regret doing it, but I very rarely do something if it’s meaningless. It was meaningless to me, honestly. I don’t mean that in any nasty way. I did it. It was a two-hour voice job, while I was doing other things. Of course, it’s a massive film that’s made masses of money. I just happened to be the voice of one of the iconic villainous characters. But, my link to that and to Michael Bay is so minimal. I have never met him. I was never on set. I’ve seen his face on Skype. I know nothing about him, really. I just went in and did it. I never read the script. I just have my lines, and I don’t know what they mean. That sounds absolutely pathetic! I’ve never done anything like that, in my life. It’s hard to say any more about it than that, really.
Va'al wrote:“I thought, ‘This guy’s a genius, he really is,‘” Hopkins told Yahoo Movies (watch above) last week at CinemaCon about his impression of Bay after meeting the director over breakfast to discuss the project. “He’s the same ilk as Oliver Stone and [Steven] Spielberg and [Martin] Scorsese. Brilliance. Savants, really, they are. He’s a savant.”
We’re doing this big scene where we’re all about to jump for our lives from this thing, and we’re strapped tandem-style with parachutes. Mark is attached to Laura Haddock — his love interest in the movie — and then there’s me and Santiago Cabrera attached to each other, and I’m tandem-ing him down because he’s injured,” the actor explains. “Wahlberg comes up just before we start — before [Michael] Bay says, ‘Action’ — he goes, ‘Hey, are you guys tandem-ing together?’ I go, ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘Oh, so it’s like a love story.’ I was like, ‘Son of a *****. You get the girl [and] you’re making fun of me and Santiago over here because we’re tandem-ing.

It may have slipped for some, so worth throwing out there again.

Ah ok I guess people would overlook it for Transformers information about transformers.

Movie news is movie news is movie news.
And I'm fed up with people reacting the same way since 2007. We get it.

If people receive multiple warnings due to posts in this thread is there a way to only ban them from these specific forums?
Like repeated offensives would lead to not being able to post in the movie forum?
Only a suggestion and I'm talking only about the people who go hard core on the hate not the people who simply have a different opinion.

We've already got one pain in the arse that cries wolf. Such things just annoy me.
