Yes, my preconceived notion that jokes should be funny, that action scenes should be intense and clearly staged, that storyline should be internally reasonable even if externally fantastical.
Transformers is none of these. But like I said just a week ago I saw a stupid summer action movie that I did enjoy (Live Free or Die Hard) because it was all of those things. The one liners mostly connected. The action, while ridiculously over the top managed to still have clarity (though the one one one fight scene were poorly edited; probably because Willis can't really hold his own on that front any more) and the underlying plotline was real-world stupid but internally consistent.
But yes, if to enjoy a movie I not only need to suspend disbelief but also nearly all brain function then I am too snobby for it.
