Oh come on. Transformers didnt set out to be 'art'
It was intended to be a big wham bang summer event movie. Have you ever seen Jaws Rocketpig? Does that film have an amazing concept?
NO. Its a film about a bloody big shark eating people. Yes it has better dialogue, but Steven Spielberg didnt set out to amaze audiences with oscar winning acting or shakespeare like dialogue. He just wanted people to be excited.
Exactly the same thing Michael Bay was aiming for. He knows his limits. He knows he does action better than most people, and character work a lot worse, so he doesnt even really attempt to make a serious film.
Transformers made 700 million dollars at the cinema, and i can guarentee people read hyperbolic reviews from film critics who have the same opinion as you and thought 'im not going for oscar worthy acting, im going for big fucking robots smashing each other to shit'
And Iron Man? I loved Iron Man, but that had a dumb story. Oh yeah, a billionaire can invent a rocket suit and suddenly gets the balls and intelligence to whack a load of middle eastern terrorists. And the acting in Iron Man wasnt exactly top-notch- Terence Howard phoned in his performance and Jeff Bridges just went with 'I WILL TALK EEEEVIL!!!!'
Transformers did exactly what it said on the tin
I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD
