I didn't go see it for artistic merit, acting or even to see if it was true to the original storylines. I was there to see effects, explosions, action and to leave my brain at the door. This movie was so much fun, but that seems to be lost on some people.

Something better than mediocrity? Special effects don't make a movie good. Decent acting and a good storyline make a movie good, something Transformers lacked. If all you wanted was a juvenile, poorly laid out story with a lot of cool sound and visual effects... Transformers was a sweet movie! I guess I just see enough movies that I expect more effort put into the plot/storyline... a lot of movies these days seem to be 'great' based on effects alone. Boring.
