Is Pain and Gain Michael Bays best movie so far ?

Personally enjoyed Pain and Gain very much , stylistic presentation and awesome acting by each and every cast members specially Mark, Dwyane and Anthony. I felt movie was much better than Michael Bays usual movies as The Rock, Armageddon and Transformers series. Its already one of my favourite crime comedy movie LOL.

How many of you enjoyed Pain and Gain ?  

It was probably the dumbest movie I've seen all year.

I wish the movie was more true to the original story which wasn't funny at all when you actually read into itLittleMac19

Probably, but that's a pretty low bar to begin with.

Pain in Gain was the most I've been entertained by a Michael Bay movie. I like dark comedies though.

Bad Boys 2 is his best imo

I thought it was funny.

Ok I'm going to take a leap of faith here, turn my flameshield on and say this: "I actually enjoyed the Transformers movies". Except for Shia LaBeouf.

It's his most offensive film that's for sure. And I thought it was also incredibly bad. All I could think while watching the movie was: "Michael Bay is a total @sshole." It's inexcusable. The events of the movie were horrific in real life and the movie plays out almost like a comedy. 

I didn't think there was anything "funny" at all. All I could think the entire movie is how offensive it was. This is not entertainment that should be playing in theatres. It's complete BS. The violence doesn't matter, the lame attempts at humor don't matter, the problem is the tone.

It makes a ridicule of events that shouldn't be made fun of. It's as if someone made a comedy out of the Charles Manson murders and portrayed the victims as idiots that deserved to get killed. It makes a mockery of people that were killed and dismembered in a horrific crime, and we are meant to sympathise with these killers that are currently in death row. 

I love how all women are either sluts or fat b*tches, all minorities are greedy jews or black gangstas, and while the movie takes place in Miami, we don't see a single hispanic person. (Mark Whalberg's character is supposed to be a latino.) Talk about offensive categorization. I think Michael Bay is a racist douchebag and I hate him more now than ever.

Everything funny about it was shown in the trailer.  And it wasn't a lot.

how'd it make the victim's out to look like idiots? if anything it makes the perpetrators of the crimes look like complete idiots, and in many ways the facts of the case were pretty outrageous to begin with maybe this isn't offensive simply by its tone, I mean one could say it's offensive this entire situation was exploited for capitalistic enterpriselamprey263

Maybe not portrayed as idiots, but everything about the victim characters was meant to be hateful so that we didn't feel bad when they were killed or tortured. The jew was a greedy bastard, the other two were portrayed as criminals.

And in the movie, they are killed by accident as a joke. In real life, they were murdered, period. We shouldn't be made to sympathise with the characters. They were murderers who were convicted and put in death row for their crime. 

And here's more lame/cheap characterizations: Every priest is obviously a creepy pedophile, the police is obviousy corrupt and incompetent, columbians are obviously drug traffickers, steroids obviously cause erectile disfunction (lets make an entire character out of this joke) all and hispanics that speak with a New York or Brooklyn accent.

I haven't seen Pain and Gain yet, but when I read your post I couldn't help but be reminded that Armageddon and The Rock are in the Criterion collection. Do I give Michael Bay too little credit? mattbbpl

Really?

I don't know... that does more to lower the Criterian collection in my view than it does to elevate Bay.
