Gladiator 2000 is Ridley Scott's turn at mimicking Michael Bay

There are quite some differences between the Scott brothers ( Ridley and Tony ) and the Maximus himself
Michael Bay. You can read
Troler's observations and then my rant in the comments to see why they aren't quite the same. But specifically
Tony Scott films sometimes feels almost like Michael Bay movies. Especially early Tony Scott and early Michael Bay, before both of them knew how similar they are and before they started trying to develop each other into opposite directions. Which happened roughly in time with the 21st century. And yet with all this the
Ridley Scott epic
Gladiator which was shot at 20st century and released at 21st, bluntly steals one of the shots Michael Bay is known for.

Was the 2014 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" directed by Michael Bay?

While
Steven Spielberg was producing a
Michael Bay film
Transformers 4, Michael Bay was producing a
Jonathan Liebesman 2014 film
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And like with a Spielberg-produced film
The Poltergeist by
Tobe Hooper about which people started claiming that Spielberg himself directed the movie in question. With the 2014
TMNT people started claiming Michael Bay was the actual director on this film. It is absolutely and utterly poetic that both Tobe Hooper and Jonathan Liebesman also made movies in the
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.

As far as my speculation goes, I think, it is safe to assume, the following happened: In 1994 ( before doing
Bad Boys )
Michael Bay signed a 10 year contract with
Jerry Bruckheimer which expired in 2004 ( after
Bad Boys 2 ). Knowing that the contract is about to expire, 2 years prior ( in 2002 )
Steven Spielberg, in an attempt to get on good terms with Michael Bay, added a small reference to Bad Boys into his film
Minority Report. And then took Bay under his supervision for the next 10 years. Starting with the 2005 film
The Island. And through the
Transformers franchise. Bay returned the favor by showing a concept car designed for
Minority Report ( Lexus 2054 aka Lexus Minority ) multiple times in the background of
The Island. Still that's just a theory. I don't actually know what happened. But it seems plausible.

There are two modes for
Michael Bay: The playful mode of him having fun. This is the Bay of
Bad Boys and
Transformers. And a serious mode. That is the Michael Bay of films like
Ambulance,
Pearl Harbor and
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. The latter of which is his most serious film ever.

Edgar Wright with his 2017 film
Baby Driver shows that he can make some awesome clean action if he wants to. And yet watching his 2007 film
Hot Fuzz you feel like something isn't quite
wright. The camera is too shaky and the editing is too quick. Is he trying to "hide something"? No! He simply imitates
Michael Bay, that's all.

It is rumored that
Michael Bay's
Armageddon is shown periodically at NASA to the people working there as a test of how much inaccuracies they can spot. The movie is fucking stupid if you want to think about anything remotely realistic. The science... what science? The film has never heard of it. The characters are fucking degenerates. The lack of tone is only rivaled by
Nicolas Winding Refn interviews. And yet somehow I cannot find myself hating on this movie.

The Rock 1996 is Michael Bay's James Bond movie

The Rock by
Michael Bay is about an FBI chemist agent (
Nicolas Cage ) who calls for help from an old retired British Intelligence Agent played by
Sean Connery himself. No wander there are theories that this agent character could be James Bond, making this film a kind of unofficial Bayhem!ed sequel to Connery Bond films. It's not like he didn't play James Bond outside of the main franchise. He did play James Bond in
Never Say Never Again which is a real James Bond film, which is not a part of the main franchise. So maybe, possibly, he did that again here too. We will never know.

The Taking of Pelham 123 is a remake of a 1998 TV movie with same name, which is a remake of a 1974 movie with the same name, which is an adaptation of a 1973 book, with the same name. Strangely enough, apart from
Denzel Washington playing the hero and
John Travolta playing the villain, the film also prominently shows
John Turturro and
RamΓ³n RodrΓguez which, the same year, also appeared in a
Michael Bay film
Transformens 2: Revenge of the Fallen.

Similarly to
Michael Mann's
Miami Vice Bad Boys II is about love, man... It is about how both
Will Smith and
Martin Lawrence love
Gabrielle Union. And how they are willing to do international terrorism and kill many many people, to save her. True love bro!

I have a soft spot for
J. J. Abrams. His masterpiece
Super 8 inspired me greatly to develop film-projects when I was a teenager. But his 2009 other masterpiece
Star Trek ( together with 2009'th other Sci-Fi masterpiece

James Cameron ) is what pretty much started my obsession with space movies.

Tony Scott appeared to be trying to outgrow
Michael Bay in the 2000s. In 2001 he does
Spy Game which is a kind of slightly bayhem-ish movie. Where Tony Scott is no longer trying to make pretty pictures, but is trying to go for ultimate intensity. His
Enemy of the State before that, is still more of a classic Tony Scott. While making
Spy Game his brother
Ridley Scott was making
Black Hawk Down while Michael Bay was making
Pearl Harbor. While
Pearl Harbor has the Bay's explosions and stuff, the colors of the film still look relatively normal. Only his next film ( 2003
Bay Boys II ) go crazy with colors.
Spy Game, while being more energetic in directing and editing department, than even
Enemy of the State still looks like a normal movie, albeit it is a little desaturated. But
Black Hawk Down ( probably in attempt of messing with
Spielberg's
Saving Private Ryan ) is super moody, with extreme contrast and intense colors. A thing that Michael Bay tries to replicate right away for
Bad Boys II and then Tony Scott also replicated for
Man on Fire in 2004. And then on
Domino in 2005, Tony Scott goes even harder with the style. While Bay is doing roughly the same thing in his own way in
The Island.

Critics often think Michael Bay doesn't give a damn about characters, but how can you believe that when everything in the film is shut deliberately to be from a perspective of a character? Michael Bay is
Lars Von Trier of action. Lars uses strange chaotic camera work and weird editing choices to elevate the emotion on screen and Michael Bay uses chaotic camera work and weird editing choices to elevate the emotions too. If you take him seriously everything clicks into place. It's just Michael Bay likes it louder.

The first thing you notice when watching
Michael Bay's directorial debut
Bad Boys is that the movie is not trying to be a Michael Bay film. There was no Michael Bay films prior to it. Bay was doing music videos and commercials before this film. And while those do have some of the style Bay will eventually bring over to his cinema pictures, here it seems he is actually trying something else entirely. The best analogy for the movie would be
Tony Scott's 1993 film
True Romance written by
Quentin Tarantino.
