How can this movie score 6.4

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2012)

Perhaps, if this movie had cost less than $195 million dollars say a mere $100 million and had some other atributes, plot characterisation or a point to its existence I might have scored it higher but this is just another example of Hollywood and in particular Michael Bays view that if you have a project and if you throw vast sums of cash at it, an overblown cgi budget and pounding score, you get an instant mega bucks hit. These kind of movies are killing the movie business, I am certain that there must be a hundred lower budget projects that never get green lighted, because such lumbering primitive monstrosities like the Transformers movies get made. I have no problem with high budget movies per se, Avatar, Pirates of the Caribbean ,Marvel,Star Trek, Batman franchises all cost lots of money, and make lots of money, but they have at their core, intelligence vision and integrity and are far more entertaining than most of Mr. Beys work. Give Mitchael Bey $50million and he might just manage a 10 minute short. In short Transformers DSM while occasionally spectacular lacks pretty much anything else that would make me want to watch it ever again.
