I'm all for fun, mindless movies on occassion. But they still have to have some type of character, charisma, plot...something engaging. There are action/sci fi blockbusters that are done well, and there are some that are just crap, any way you cut it. It doesn't matter about expectations, some movies are simply just bad. Explosions and hot girls aren't enough to salvage them.
I hated the first Transformers movie and I have no desire to see this one. And I was a huge Transformers fan growing up.
