Fine Bob, that's your opinion. Your personal feelings toward Transformers only reinforce what you want in a Transformers movie.
Dark of the Moon, clearly was not what you were looking for; nor any of the Transformers movies for that matter. I accept that.
Don't however, assume that everybody views movies as you do. Earlier this morning, I too, went and saw the new Transformers. After stepping out of the theater, you know what? I got what I paid for: a two and half hour session of robots, explosions, and beating the crap out of each other. Nothing more, nothing less. Optimus was badass, Sentinel was cool, and Megatron, well...
You keep expecting this grand retelling of the old Transformers movie from the 80's, when this is just the way thing are now. So you don't like it. Oh well. Others do and will, and the movie will go on to make an assload of money. Good on them, I say. The movie was exciting and held my attention as well as entertained me.
I couldn't ask any more of any film, the fact it was Transformers notwithstanding.
