Lots of people dogged Dark Knight saying it got rave reviews only because of Ledger's death. I agreed with critics that it was an all around great action flick. One of the best. Transformers isn't close to that but it's no less entertaining from an action standpoint. What's baffling are those who gave the first Tranformers top grades but have sheer disdain for the second. I really didn't find each movie all that different from one another. Ebert supposedly gave the first one 3/4 stars. I saw it and rated it worse than that. But I guess we watched the films for different reasons.
