Many of the critiques are from self-professed critics who base the quality of the film primarily on special effects. I surmise that they gain some affirmation here, whilst in reality they work low grade, basic jobs. They seek importance. Watch the movie if you care to think, otherwise the Transformers film is screening in the room down the hall. If you want to see people "acting" and do not need explosions to be entertained, you may remain here.
