Critic Reviews

Variety | Jay Weissberg

Big, loud and full of testosterone-fueled car fantasies, Michael Bay's actioner hits a new peak for CGI work, showcasing spectacular chases and animated transformation sequences seamlessly blended into live-action surroundings.

The Hollywood Reporter | Kirk Honeycutt

Transformers is a wet dream for fanboys, with vehicles that whiz and whir into alien robots, spectacular sci-fi stunt chases, glistening military hardware, overheated computer software and brainy, hot girls who love Popular Mechanics.

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter Hartlaub

Even more ridiculous than it sounds.

USA Today | Claudia Puig

Yes, it's loud, explosive and silly, but it also perfectly embodies the concept of a summer blockbuster with its simple good-guys-vs.-bad-guys plot, cheeky humor and flawless special effects.

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger Ebert

Everything comes down to an epic battle between the Transformers and the Decepticons, and that's when my attention began to wander, and the movie lost a potential fourth star.

Washington Post | Desson Thomson

It's a wonderfully playful experience.

Slate | Dana Stevens

The final scene is pure teen wish fulfillment: Imagine making out with your girlfriend on the hood of your sentient Camaro, as your own personal robot bodyguard looks on fondly (all right, that part's a little creepy).

Wall Street Journal | Joanne Kaufman

For almost two hours of car chases and car wrecks and extraordinary animated transformation sequences that meld fluidly with live action, the welcome mat is out for Michael Bay's cheerfully dopey saga.

Entertainment Weekly | Owen Gleiberman

Bay, at heart, isn't a fantasist; he's a literal-minded maestro of demolition.

Boston Globe | Wesley Morris

Partly impressive, partly inane buck-banging toy of a movie.

The New York Times | Manohla Dargis

A movie of epically assaultive noise and nonsense.

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Tasha Robinson

Turns the franchise into a terrible '80s comedy.

Los Angeles Times | Kenneth Turan

Transformers' multiple earthling story lines are tedious and oddly lifeless, doing little besides marking time until those big toys fill the screen.

ReelViews | James Berardinelli

Louder, flashier, and more hollow than anything else out there.

"well my little cousin made me watch this (he's a freaking transformers freak) so i came to this, the game, or the movie. EGM called the game better but it made less money then any of the other twothe movie: made lots of money then people bought it on dvdbut i give the movie a thumbs up: parents that dont let there kids watch pg-13 or R unlike mine DONT LISTEN to the rating of 12 years or older, it has some content such as extreme violence, use of strong profanity, and isnt there a part where the guy gets naked or somthing"

Main event.

"Put Optimus Prime and Magatron in a ring and let them beat each each other. This movie kicks butt!"

Poorly-told Movie

"This is one of the worst movies this year. It should be a good movie, but the way the movie tells the story is so confusing, no depth, and .. to be honest.. boring. The first 20 mins of the movie almost put me to sleep. The worst part is that I don't feel connection to any of the characters.. no depth in each character whatsoever. The main chracter, the little girl, is probably the worst. You should at least feel connection with the character, but not this little girl. I feel that this is a very mean character. Other characters, the bear and the witch, are not that charming either. At the end, the movis tries to say that there will be a sequal, but .. who would spend money on sequal because the first one is flunk big time. Overall, very confusing, boring, and bad story line. Don't waste your money!!!"

Transformers

"The Score between Transformers and Spider-Man 3 is a tie I give both movies a 77 out of 100 In Transformers the focus is the war instead of the main characters and the robots later it does focus on the main characters but anyway I givie transformers Two Thumbs Up"

Worksheets-not much more

"We tried Kumon for a month after being at Sylvan for some time. Didn't really get the feeling that my son was getting much more than a lot more worksheets. No teaching to speak of. Otherwise, relatively professional though."

Divine

"I love "RCM" it is a masterful blend of old school Duran Duran and modern funk.I had the pleasure of hearing the entire album live 11/13/'07 and it was fantastic."

Ms. R.J

"Sharla Wooten did my hair and she was very creative and professional. I was not held hostage in this salon and my hair was on point."

Great

"This was a great movie for the most part, could have been a little better with a little more transformations and a few more battles . but hey the directors can only learn from there mistakes or can they ."

Action-packed Thriller

"This movie proves that you can have an action-packed thriller without all the gore.Transformers will arise your senses and leave you wanting more even though they gave you alot."
