Really? Maybe because Michael Bay directed it I had VERY low expectations, but I thought the 1st 2/3rds of the film was extremely solid, and only lacked in dragging a bit too long and the end not being all that spectacular. I thought it relied too much on visuals at the end, and Bay hasn't quite figured out that everyone isn't going to be blown away by CG filler anymore. Maybe that worked back in the day for The Abyss, Independence Day, or Armageddon, but now you have to know how to blend both visual effects and actually have a solid script and actors to wow people. IMO, principal casting went a long way to making the film much more appealable then simply relying off visual effects.
