Wow... I just don't care enough about the movie to try and defend it. Yeah, it was brainless fun but I didn't feel that I really had to lower myself to enjoy it. I don't want to take a combative tone with you at all, I just didn't think you'd completely hate it like this.
Dude, I never expected to hate it this much either. I think it just really disheartened me not so much at how bad it was, but more how much support it's gotten despite being that bad. It wasn't just that I didn't like it all, but more that I failed to see what anyone would like in it, other than the joy of hearing the transforming noise and the time when Optimus Prime cut that robot's head off.
That said, I do think there's something to be said about seeing these larger-than-life characters on a larger-than-life screen. After all, I gave Spider-Man 3 3.5 stars, so I'm certainly not immune.
Also, a day later having slept on this, I still stand by what I wrote about the quality of the movie, and am still baffled at its popularity, but I probably shouldn't have been such a prick about it. So apologies to those who enjoyed it for that.
