Unless I hear some major positive feedback about the new film I'm not planning to see it in the cinema at all, unless I get roped into it.
But bleah this time I don't want to give Bay my money, I don't even want to get a free ticket or sneak in, or even help give the appearance that the movie is popular.

It perplexes me when I see people openly express their dislike for Bay's movies, only to waste their time and/or money by sitting there for 2.5 hours & watching it. I think there's a bit more to it than "happy to be proven wrong".Gotta agree with Sinnertwin here, I think if you are really against Bay's vision of Transformers you have to do the complete boycott of the theatrical run. Even if you aren't directly handing your money over, even by using your free tickets on the film over a more competently directed piece of cinema you are endorsing Bays Transformers and making it appear more popular. There are heaps of films out this year with great potential to watch, why waste your time on Transformers if you know it's going to be terrible, unless you just want to get in jaded Comic Book Guy quips?Because I've been a sucker for Transformers since I was a kid.
2017: "Bay's track record indicates that The Last Knight is gonna be rubbish. Just as well I have free ticket vouchers."
So yeah my plan is to avoid it at the cinema at all costs, give both my time and money to something more deserving. it's going to take some willpower but here's hoping. They fooled me already with Turtles 2, and that wasn't even Bay directing.
