I second the bad reviews for this movie. The Transformers' story is just a backdrop to a bunch of stock, familiar story lines from past blockbusters --humans defeat alien invasion, mid-east military squad against all odds, hackers racing against time, high-office state bureaucrats rely on the little guy, secret alien defense bureau, loser guys gets popular girl, popular girl with dark secret is vindicated...I mean, sell us the toys, not the noise.
Why didn't they just write it from the Transformers' perspective? Make the Transformers the main characters, and the humans, our environment, wars and culture, the backdrop to their story. That would've been a goldmine of storytelling.
