How rich is Michael Bay?

[Fonecrusher]

Eh a lot of the comedy in Bad Boys is more a result of the actors ad-libbing then Bay's directing style, Bay said so himself, Lawrence and Smith were constantly coming up with new gags.

Honestly I don't hate Michael Bay and I don't hate his movies but his "GO TEAM AMERICA!!" crap is really starting to piss me off. Oh and as for TF comedy why hasn't anybody mentioned the Twins? I mean they were funny as hell right?

I didn't mind them, I actually found them to be quite funny.
I'd quote my favourite line of theirs but yeah, you probably know what one it is.

At least Michael Bay isn't so up himself like other big shots that he is willing to pay out on himself.
That's still one of my favourite commercials, and everytime he says excitedly 'I used 7 Helicopters', I laugh, because it is just so him.

Directors are artists, and you just can't tell an artist to change their artistic ways if they don't want to, or don't need to (if they are successful). He's very mainstream and commercially-styled, but for Hasbro, he gets results, so gets free reign.

Yeah, same with Transformers. A lot of the funniest gags were ad-libbed by actors - especially from Shia LaBeouf and Julie White.
