Watching a robot blow up a base isn't the same thing...at least that's not how I saw it.Saw it in digital (twice, now) some things were a little hard to see from time to time but the action was excellent.  A leg?  A torso?  I saw much more than that.-- Some shots were worse than others, yes, and some (like Starscream taking out the F22's) were even kind of cool. What I should have said was that the action scenes, the few there were, were often filmed and/or framed badly, denying the audience a good view. Not always, just often.The movie was full of cheese, this was simply part of it.-- Far -too- full of cheese. And it wasn't good cheese. It wasn't even cheese that was so bad it's good. It was just...tedious, numbing cheese. The worst kind there is.Frathouse goons?  I don't get the reference.  They are bad-ass warriors on a new world, simply put.  There wasn't enough Decepticon interaction, I admit, but it did not hurt the movie.-- I couldn't disagree with you more. The autobots never once came off to me as "bad ass warriors on a new world." Silly shenanigans and bathroom humor just don't create that impression. Honestly, I would have thought a Transformer's fan would have hated and been humiliated by that entire sequence.I believe you missed the point or simply went in with expectations that were not met.  It's a movie, based off a toy-line made by a notorious over-the-top director who likes lots of patriotic cheese in his movies along with huge explosions.-- And I believe the point was "to sell toys." Just like the cartoons. I really didn't go in with many expectations. I went in with hope. Tender, wide-eyed hopes that Mr Bay took great delight in clubbing like the winsome seal cubs they so resembled.Stuff blew up real good, there were some classic lines in there.  I don't see the problem.-- Stuff blowing up and a few catchphrases do not a movie make. That's the problem.My take on it anyway. Lest this get out of hand, I should make it clear I don't hold it -against- anyone if they saw it and liked it. I'm just glad I only paid five bucks to see it is all. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
