F that the movie was awesome.

Its freakin TRANSFORMERS, not fucking some epic drama story movie.

Its supposed to be explosions, giant robot fighting, explosions, giant robot exploding, etc.

wtf did you expect? a serious monologue?

Did you ever see the cartoon?

How did you play with your toys? mine kick each others asses with horrible dialog.

I'm glad I spent $50 that day to watch it with my family, it was well spent and will definitely do it in a couple of years for part 3.

Only gripe I had is that the character of M.Fox could be cut out. She's only eye candy but does not help the story in any way shape or form, also, the reason for *why* only a prime could kill the fallen should have been explained a little better. i mean Optimus has no special telekinetic abilities so that was a little far fetched, but what scifi movie does not stretch realism.

This.

Seriously, people. 

I expect it to aim for the quality of a Raiders of the Lost Ark - plenty of action there, and better directed than Transformers as well, as well as a great script, great characters, etc.  Or a Jaws, or a Star Wars... well, you get the picture.

I didn't expect it to be a mix of short, sub-par comedy sketches coupled with poorly directed action sequences propped up by sheer scale, with zero attention to logic - I mean sure, it's just plastic toys put on the big screen, but if you're going to spend $200 million couldn't you take some effort with the script?).

In short, I'm not expecting There Will Be Blood, but I am expecting it to be of a certain quality as many other 'popcorn' movies have managed, including, ironically, the first Transformers movie.
