They consider it boring due to the poor character development and bad writing. Personally I think it had a lot of potential but failed to use it. Ken Watanabe was criminally underused, as was Bryan Cranston, and every other character was completely one-dimensional. The enormous plot-holes certainly didn't help. Before you accuse me of wanting senseless action, I can't stand Michael Bay movies and I think there were some scenes it did very well, such as the foot-stomp, the HALO-jump and the first time he uses his atomic breath, but the good scenes were few and far between. I respect your opinion, and I wouldn't think that bad character development and plot is a way of saying that you want senseless action. As the film had problems with it's characters and the confusing plot. But overall, I actually enjoyed the movie and respect of what it tried to bring, but failed of how it will be used. At least it faired much better than the film back in 1998.
