And frankly, it does come off as snobby. We are all snobs of one sort or another... so get over it. Everyone.

It's just a cheesy blockbuster. You either like that kind of thing or you don't. No need to have everyone harp.

Thank you. To be honest, those posts really made me sad. Not because people didn't like the movie (you like what you like and lord knows I find quite a few movies that people here enjoy uber-boring) but because I felt as if people who are my friends think I am stupid for not seeing some hidden message behind the shiny robots blowing stuff up.

Bay and Spielberg are not political activists. They make action movies. This is an action movie, not a recruitment movie, not a propaganda movie.
