Michael Bay's Transformers films may be bad adaptations which is frustrating but as far as blockbuster films go, they did their job in both entertaining the masses and making millions but as all the elitism that comes with nerdom has crossed over into the popular culture, so people hate films like Transformers, Battleship etc etc before they've actually seen them because that is the cool thing to do. And then otherwise fairly terrible popcorn flicks, like say The Avengers, become huge because the nerds deem it okay to like that popcorn flick.

I never thought we'd come to a point in cinema history where we'd have to remind mainstream audiences that liking a film just because it's fun is okay to do.

Yeah,I did when I noticed music,movie,and television tastes changing.People forgot movies were supposed to be viewed for the fun of it,not to go to it and tear every aspect of it apart.

People have seen great movies,and now think every movie that comes out must match that bar or come close.Transformers have been summer blockbusters,so when a movie comes out with giant robots,transforming or no,they compare it.It's wrong,but they do.
