This is why I don't give the Transformers movies a free pass because "they're just action movies about giant space robots, what were you expecting, Citizen Kane?"
Well some people don't mind seeing just action movies. I don't think Transformers is being billed as anything it isn't. You know exactly what to expect, and obviously there is enough interest in that to make the movies extremely profitable.

Sometimes people just want to see a mindless film. Nothing wrong with that.
