I just had a thought...
Personal biases can be a pain to get around. It took 6 years for me to finally enjoy Artificial Intelligence, the film made by Spielberg that was based on Kubrick's treatment.
My main complaints were "the music during the action scenes should have been more ambient", "the annoying kid should have stayed in his coma", and "the ending could have been tweaked slightly".
Although I hated AI, something kept drawing me back to it. Maybe Jesus? I don't know. But I saw it sitting on a shelf at a video store on sale for $9 and decided to buy it. "I could give it 1 last chance. I haven't seen it in awhile". So I watched it again, and you know what... I really enjoyed it. I mean, REALLY enjoyed it.
I originally thought it was another one of Spielberg's bloated tributes to white dysfunctional American families (War of the World, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and so on), but AI was so much more. AI, from top to bottom, in my opinion, is a story about human irresponsibility. Once I just relaxed and just watched the movie, everything was easily able to connect.
Now, of course, Transformers isn't ANY WHERE NEAR being as deep as a movie like AI. However, if you can watch the film without being overly judgmental, you might be able to find at least some redeeming qualities in it. Hell... You may even be able to enjoy it.

Just because you learned to like a movied doesn't mean that the movie has changed for the better, it means that you have changed. The same fuck ups and issues are still there in the film, but that you can't see it may be a good thing, I can't help but admit that I am a bit disappointed- not in you ... but in the general way that the bar has been lowered, and how people are so accepting of distraction. Booty shot eye candy and hot graphic effects= perfect film (Music Video, TV show... etc etc).
Take a look at some of today's TV shows- the shallow storylines and catch phrases are perfect for just sitting back and enjoying - or just tuning out. Fear Factor, American Idol, MTV, Dating Games. One person may love a show, another may abhorr it, but all in all - the show has no meaning and no staying power. TV shows are simply a distraction while you eat your dinner. As it is a matter of personal prefrence, I find it a waste of time to critique these, and choose not to watch them myself.
I didn't like AI at all. I went to see it opening weekend and found nothing appealing or engaging in the story's plot or focus. I saw a child star trying to get his feet wet in the movie industry- and pondered at how much money his parents were getting. A shrug and a yawn named "Waste of Time" kept rearing its ugly head in the theatre, and my mind instantly started going to topics of a more realistic nature :
: Was michael Jackson watching this film? I bet he's jacking it somewhere in his Neverland Ranch... watch out Haley Joel Osment, that's Jesus Juice... :
First Impressions are always the most important, but I would be careful about sitting back and enjoying too many films. Pokemon the first movie "Mewtwo Vs Mew" is out there waiting for you like a thai hooker in the red light district. without your discernment goggles on you may not realize that "she' is actually a "he" and you'll be both embarrased and confused for the rest of your life.
