It got needless and ludicrously bad reviews and I just don't understand

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2009)

People call it cheesy, people call it unbelievable and weak. People criticize it's story line. But do these apparent "professional" reviewers know what they're watching at all? I'll be hopefully the one of many to tell them that it's Transformers for god sakes! The last thing that I would expect out of an action thriller involving robots/vehicles coinciding with humans to help the planet for the greater good is a deep meaning or moral at the climax of all the CGI special effects! People striving for Oscars strive for a good strong story, not an action/thriller! I mean at the end of the day, it's Transformers we're watching, a former kids TV show. I would hardly expect to find a massive deep, strengthened story line after it's history of childish, cartoon programming. So what I'm getting at Is, is that this movie did what it was supposed to do. It lived up to the action category!i Drama needs solid story lines far more than anything else in the movie business, so those who judge Transformers on plot are sadly mislead. Transformers (like every movie) needs a structure. It had one. Maybe a bit of a cheesy one, but, to the fools who analyze and criticize it based on plot, remember what your watching.
I mean, dear God! I paid a couple of bucks to see what I hoped to be a thriller that performed to it's genre from start to finish, and let me tell you, it did just that (and over achieved on top of everything else). Transformers was marinaded by non stop thrills and adrenaline kicks of pure action! And the CGI was impeccable! So smooth to watch brawling robots in such crisp detail with the sound effects off the scales in terms of perfection.
It didn't need a strong story line to keep it together. Transformers 2 was the whole package and should only be judged on the category that it performed so fantastically to!
Don't over analyze it and you'll enjoy the show!
Overall rating 8/10
