Personally I'd say that because of the cheat of hooking a stupid story to beloved characters, and because they didn't commit any particular atrocities to those characters it made the stupidity more acceptable.
I enjoyed almost everything that was at the very character local level (except Karl Urban, the Muffit, and the horrible make-up/cgi on the Orion)
I'd say the larger story here is actually stupider than in Transformers was two years ago and I gave it absolutely no quarter since it had neither a good story nor characters I should care about.
