CGI alone doesn't make a great movie.
Effects are great, but the movie sucked, just like the first two Bay attempts.

"We've got almost no script..... meh... just add awesomeness transforming robots, nobody will notice the gaping plotholes" :D

But in defense of Michael Bay (if that's even possible... :D ),
these days way too many movies (and for instance SF-television series) lean way too much on (high-quality) VFX and the first budget cut in these productions more often than not is the writing staff... "Who needs a story, when we've got exploding buildings?"

Always reminds me of the English comedy show "not the nine-o-clock news", that did a segment once (in the early Eighties) about a music video entitled "nice video, shame about the song".

Budget limited CGI, great plot.

no, you think in the wrong direction, like alot of people. its not the cg that sells a movie, its the people which go in theaters and watch these movies with alot of effects. if people would watch movies without cg and the studios would make hundrets of millions of dollars, then no one would produce cg overkill movies. only independet cg movies would exist, what an interesting thought. ;)

Seems like a "chicken or the egg" dilemma to me. It's very hard to prove or disprove, which came first. The sad fact is, that there are hardly any movies that successfully combine high-end ("overkill") CG and a well-written story... (which isn't to say there are none, mind, but definitively not many)
;)
