All 13 Michael Bay Movies Ranked Worst to Best, Including ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ (Photos)

Let’s celebrate by taking a look back at his career and ranking all his movies, from least to most awesome.

There are a handful of Michael Bay movies where he closer doesn’t quite have a handle on, well, himself, and “Revenge of the Fallen” is the textbook case.

The war scenes are great, of course, but the rest of this movie’s subject matter doesn’t really play to Michael Bay‘s strengths.

The natural evolution of the Transformers franchise because it doesn’t make any sense at all and yet is still weirdly enjoyable.

In Bay’s first movie you can definitely see exactly what he wants to do with his filmmaking career, but the $19 million budget of “Bad Boys” didn’t exactly let him spread his wings.

Michael Bay‘s second movie is an action classic, largely free of his trademark excesses we’ve come to know and love.

Michael Bay was finally able to crack the code on making a normal movie with this totally engrossing military thriller.

[...] long as you’re able to ignore all the real-life crackpot conspiracy theories about Benghazi, which this movie doesn’t play into at all.

The third “Transformers” movie is the ultimate Michael Bay mega-budget experience, with an action climax that lasts a solid hour, and great character actors popping up all over to make jokes.

After two decades of moviemaking, we got a Michael Bay movie that was all the standard Michael Bay sensibilities but without any action.
