If you want something with good writing and a good plot, seek out any number of "Chick Flicks". The TF series of movies isn't going to be everyone's favorite, particularly Transformer fanboys, but apparently they are good enough to be box office hits. While that standard may not be important to some, it's the reason movie sequels (and reboots) get made. It keeps the people in the biz working and believe it or not, that's a good thing for those of us who enjoy the movies. Anyone who really hates these movies that much doesn't have to watch them, but that doesn't mean that anyone who does enjoy them is "wrong" in their perspective on liking the films or taking interest in how a reboot may be done.

Either way, it's a mute point because the Movie studio achieved what they wanted with this film- High ticket sales. That's what really matters to the studio. These movies aren't going to please everyone, but obviously a large number of people went to see these movies and it likely wasn't due to great writing. Let's be real. The special effects are what really sells this movie, especially in theaters where it can be seen in 3D.

Agreed on all counts.
