Yes Transformers was mainly conceived to be an action flick.
The movie plot wasn't horrible but it wasn't up to par with todays standards

.
SpiderMan 3... well...I have to admit it did rock in many ways but it had MANY faults.
Negatives:-Too many
good villains
-Jealousy love story sucked
-Venom parasite a lot weaker and smaller in comparison to his comic book counter part(who cares about realism, give me a meaner and stronger Venom

!).
-Some roles of comic characters (Prime examply
Gwen Stacey) were unnecessary or too short.
Positives:+Very good special effects
+Actor portrayal was great (Church as
Flint and more)
+Back story and plot holes covered.
+Great action.
That's my way of seeing it anyway...
