I actually thought that there was far too much human interaction for the movie and not enough Transformers screen time. There was almost zero character given to either the Autobots or Decepticons. They were, in effect, giant robots who change shapes. They were not Transformers, as the title of the movie would imply, at least none recognizable due to their actions/looks.
Action or not, I wanted character screen time, to identify with the robots themselves, considering the movie is about them. I could absolutely care less about Generic Army Guy number 2 or Secret Government Agent Head or Computer Hacker Nerd #1. That's not what the movie should have been about.
At least watching Superman, I can identify Superman not only by his costume, but due to every scene with him and Clark. It felt like a Superman movie to me, and thankfully didn't focus on spending too much time on the police and army people in the world reacting to his return.
All in all, Transformers was like that hot blonde you see in the bar. Pretty to look at, not a lot between the ears, and if you take away all the make-up and plastic, just not worth the effort.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
