Roland Emmerich vs Micheal Bay

Who is the best director ? you choose

AeroK · 01-17-2010, 01:30 AM

Roland Emmerich. Only because I like Stargate and the Patriot.

jcarugati · 01-17-2010, 01:33 AM

I chose Bay over Emmerich. They both make the same types of films, but Bay's films just seem more polished and even though he can overdo it at times (TF 2, Pearl Harbor), most of his films are fun entertainment (TF, Armageddon) and at least he tries different things (The Island), even if stuff is still blowing up. Although I think he shake the camera a bit much at times, his movies are just more epic in feel.

BAY!!!! he knows how to blow sh!t up and make it look good!!!

LordCrumb · 01-17-2010, 01:41 AM

where the option 'Both do there job well and entertain' ?

TheForce8686 · 01-17-2010, 01:42 AM

Michael Bay easily. He has never made a bad movie. His worst one is the Island and I still think that is quite enjoyable.

JLant19 · 01-17-2010, 01:50 AM

I have to say Bay. I like more movies that he has done.

Just the films I have seen

Armageddon
The Rock

Emmerich
2012
The Day After Tomorrow

Both are about the same, but Bay's movies are a bit more polished.

OpFeRmEtZgER · 01-17-2010, 02:08 AM

Even though i despise Michael Bay it doesn´t take much to be better than Emmerich! BAY4SHO!

Rob71 · 01-17-2010, 02:08 AM

EricJ · 01-17-2010, 02:12 AM

It is hard to tell them apart (okay, who directed "Armageddon" and who directed ID4?

), but it's easy once you know their licks:

Bay is the ex-trailer director who thinks he's black and likes comedy-relief, and Emmerich believes every single eco-disaster theory he ever hears in the news....There now, isn't that simple?

GLaDOS · 01-17-2010, 02:12 AM

Oof, that's tough, but I guess I have to go for Michael F-ing Bay.

pure awesomeness!!!

dvd_mazter · 01-17-2010, 02:29 AM

Bay!!
I have enjoyed most of his flicks; the bad boys flicks are huge guility pleasures of mine.

Emmerich has only done 2 movies I like (Patriot / Independence Day) and the rest range from average to bad.

The only Emmerich film that I've seen is the Patriot, and I love that film!

But I own both Transformers films and I only have one Emmerich film sooo.....

I'm going with BAY 2-1

Neither are great directors but Emmerich is the one who makes films I enjoy the most.
