I have a real hard time doing that with any movie. Unless it's intentionally trying to be stupid and not taking itself too seriously. This one obviously was taking itself seriously.
To be fair, I'm not a huge action movie, summer blockbuster guy. I didn't go see this in the theaters, though I loved transformers as a kid. Just looked like another over-hyped cash-cow type 'blockbuster' that hollywood seems to be in love with nowadays.
I was discussing this with a few friends lately, there seemed to be way better movies out even ten years ago then there have been lately. Transformers is certainly not the only one to fit this mold.
There are definitely some action movies I really like, but all of them had way better plots and dialogue and made more sense even in an escapism sort of way.
The Rock, Boondock Saints, Pulp Fiction, Snatch, would be examples of action or action oriented movies I really enjoyed.
