Michael Bay should make videogames instead of movies, he'd probably actually be pretty good at that. However, as directors go, he is not only the biggest example of what sucks in movies currently, he has had a pernicious effect on other "directors" who see that his movies are successful and thus emulate his "style".
I'm with those who'll watch it for free when it hits Movie Central, and I'll probably read something at the same time and just pay attention when something is getting blown up. There's a reason these movies get terrible reviews from critics, and it has nothing to do with elitism - if you're going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a movie, allocate more than .00001 percent of that to the script and continuity.
