Hal Emmerich?
Bay has managed to have a few films I liked despite his overall suckiness.

I looked up Hal Emmerich to see if it was the disaster movie guy and it kept giving me Metal Gear Solid references.

Michael Bay
Bay also made the underrated black comedy Pain and Gain, which I don't think Emmerich could pull off.

Michael Bay
The problem with Emmerich is that any time he strays from the disaster movie formula, his movies suck donkey balls. With the exception of The Patriot, which feels more like a Mel Gibson movie than an Emmerich movie.
Michael Bay has The Island, The Rock, Bad Boys, Transformers, Pain & Gain and all are of a different type of action movie and all 5 are successful to one degree or another. The Rock is quite a bit better than any of Emmerich's movies imo.

I give Emmerich the slight edge because his films are more coherent.
The Rock is the only Bay movie I have seen that is re-watchable.
Not that I have any burning desire to watch an Emmerich film..

I enjoy Emmerich more. Perhaps I’m getting old but I wish Bay could have his films recut against his wishes just to see what happens.

Emnerich takes his stuff a bit more seriously which makes him worse in my book. Also, anyone who thinks a noble wrote Shakespeare's plays is automatically an asshole.

That's the problem I had with Bay, he always just seemed like a more "serious", more bland version of Michael Bay. Like a less talented Zack Snyder (whose a less talented Chris Nolan)
