Michael Bay Isn’t Sorry About ‘Armageddon’, “Not In The Slightest” Said Pain And Gain Director

No, Michael Bay isn’t sorry at all for making the film “Armageddon.” A recent report depicted the man hailed as the Stanley Kubrick of the 21st century apologetic and sorry for having made the film. But Bay has since take to the internet to clarify and correct the report, for the record, the director is not at all sorry about the 1998 film.

In ShootForTheEdit.com, the Official Michael Bay Forums, the director writes:

“One press writer has gone too far in reporting false information. He has printed the bare minimum of my statement which in effect have twisted my words and meaning. I'm not in the slightest going to apologize for the third movie in my movie career, a film called Armageddon. On the red carpet for Pain & Gain some reporters asked me what are you apologizing for, and I said what on earth are you talking about?

What I clearly said to the reporter, is I wish I had more time to edit the film, specifically the the third act. He asked me in effect what would you change if you could in your movies if you could go back. I said, I wish we had a few more weeks in the edit room on Armageddon. And still today Armageddon, is still one of the most shown movies on cable TV. And yes, I'm proud of the movie. Enough said.”

According to Philly.com, there is really no reason the director should apologized for Armageddon. Though the movie may have a very, very cheesy feel, the website said that “it's a wonderfully generic save-the-human-race action flick and features what is undoubtedly the most artistic use of an Aerosmith song in the history of modern cinema.”

Michael Bay is at the helm of some of today’s most technologically advanced and action-packed films that literally satisfies wild imaginations. Bay has directed Pearl Harbor, the original Transformers including its second and third sequel. He is also currently working on Transformers 4 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
