What if Michael Bay Directed "UP"?
Michael Bay is the director who is happy and proud that his crew is terrified of him. How do I know? He said so himself on a commentary track! (Transformers 1) He mentioned gleefully how when he was coming to the set in a bad mood, somebody would run ahead and shout "Coming in hot!", like the young boys in The Wire who ran around shouting "Five-Oh!" when the police were coming.
The one below is very critical, but it has some good points.
And M Bay recently walking off a stage because he was unable to say a few words about his process when the teleprompter broke? Whu?
(There are many of these "Honest Trailers", but be warned: don't watch them if they're about movies you liked.)

I was never able to watch Up past that depressing opening bit.
Michael Bay did direct The Rock, which rocked.
Funny, I liked the UP opening, but it didn't impact me especially. But many, many people were hugely impacted, mostly to tears rather than depression.
Bay has made some decent films, sure.
