Michael Bay is a director who loves putting in crazy action shots and explosions in his films. One tactic he pulls off in the latest Transformers film he made is to show a big action, cut to a smaller action, then end with more big action to really show off how intense something is that's going on.
Bay does a lot of "winging it",a lot of his ideas for a shot are spontaneous when he gets to a scene. His process is usually "This would be cool, let's try this." He'll see a location and think of what he could shoot there then add in extra details.
Personally I believe people need to stop giving Michael Bay money before he explodes every single shot in his movies. The man is insane, but I love how much planning he puts into a shot, which is most likely two minutes. He thinks it, does it, and makes it work. That's skill. Plus you can't be bored by his movies, with all the action going on there's no time for boredom. The man is either talented or insane, either way he won't stop blowing stuff up so you gotta love it or leave.
