Michael Bay, the director of Transformers and Armageddon, has said that he thought the first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, was going to be "terrible."
Michael Bay's reaction to the storyboards for the first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Bay was working as an intern at George Lucas's production company at the time, and he was tasked with giving his opinion on the storyboards.
Bay was not impressed with the storyboards, and he told Lucas that he thought the movie would be a "flop." He said that the story was "boring" and that the characters were "uninteresting."
Lucas was not happy with Bay's feedback, and he told him that he was "wrong" and that the movie would be a "success."
As we all know, Lucas was right. Raiders of the Lost Ark was a huge success, and it became one of the most popular movies of all time.
Bay's reaction to the storyboards is interesting because it shows how different people can have different opinions about the same thing. Bay thought that the storyboards were boring and uninteresting, but Lucas saw something in them that Bay didn't.
This is a reminder that there is no such thing as a "universally good" movie. What one person loves, another person might hate. And that's okay. The important thing is to find movies that you enjoy, and to not let other people's opinions sway you.
So, what do you think of Raiders of the Lost Ark? Do you agree with Michael Bay's initial assessment of the movie? Or do you think it's a classic?
