Well you may have had no emotional connection with the character. I beg to differ. The characters were weak but I found them no where near horrible same with the plot. I was connected when Optimus died. All the spoilers on the internet told me he would die. So I knew he would die before I saw the movie, yet I was still connected and teared up, and I liked Shia's character so I teared up for that too. You are right about the lack of any danger, but most movies similar to this seem to always keep the main character alive. It is just a trend that movies are taking on, they are predictable in that way. I had no problem with it though.

Thank you for mentioning that Star Trek had the same writer. People keep going on about how that is that best movie of the year, but then saying how this one had a crap story which mad it bad. It annoyed me. I did love Star Trek. I like Transformers 2 more. You may not like this movie and that is your opinion. I will not bash you on that.

Yes. 'Entertaining'. If it were entertaining, that'd be great.

The only defense anybody ever puts forward of this is strawmanning by asserting that its detractors were expecting high cinema.

The reality, however, is that people were expecting a decent action film and it didn't rise to that. If the critics are really too snobbish and elitist to appreciate a wacky action film, why do they praise "Cloverfield", "Die Hard", "Lord of the Rings", "The Dark Knight", "Inception" and to a lesser extent "300"?

With the hundreds of millions of dollars it took to make this, why is it "elitist" to want something of quality for one's 8-12 dollars?
