May 12, 2009"Tranformers" delivers great popcorn entertainment & spectacular visual effects by ILM with a great story and a wonderful cast behind it all.

November 18, 2009Not being an expert on the history of this story franchise, I wasn't sure what I might be in for. Turns out -- I think -- that you don't have to know the whole Transformer story to follow this. Have to admit, the actual transformations, while pretty amazing, were also pretty di...( read more)

October 11, 2009I loved the Transformers cartoons as a kid. They are robots in disguise. Shia buys his first car only to find out it is an autobot. The autobots have to defeat Megatron and protect the human race. I love the house scene where the autobots are trying to hide outside in the garden....( read more)

September 30, 2009The acting was terrible, the story was crap and if I had a pound for every cliché shat out of this waste of time movie I'd be a very rich man. This is the same old trash, different summer. Great Visual Effects though, just let down by everything else!

August 15, 2009This movie is ACTION. I say this first because if you think this movie will be anything more than this, you will be disappointed on some level (as I was). Frame for frame this movie screams Michael Bay.
Now that's out of the way, there's a lot of stuff here that works and a lo...( read more) -
December 6, 2009This movie was INCREDIBLE. Michael Bay is a genious. It was a totally new experience, this movie is not like any other I have ever seen.

December 5, 2009It wasn't what I though it'd be.... I was a little let down. It wasn't bad... but wasn't really that good...
-
December 4, 2009You cannot beat, heart-racing, full force action. And of course Michael Bay's beautiful use of the 'magic hour' light.

It's the toys 'r us in this awesome sci-fi blockbuster. It's bound to produce several inferior sequels but the pure joy of discovery from this kick-ass original is not-to-be-missed. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's a gearhead's dream come true, with cool robots, hot girls, big explosions and broad jokes. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
In this tricked-out retake on the much-loved contraptions, director Michael Bay brings his usual chest-thumping, combustive bombast, but he also brings some clever pacing and a genuinely snappy wit. I... full review

Taken for what it is, a crowd-rousing summer blockbuster inspired by a children's mechanical toy, Michael Bay's Transformers is some kind of mess...terpiece. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It's goofy fun with a lot of stuff that blows up real good, and it has the grace not only to realize how preposterous it is, but to make that into an asset. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though it's at least 20 minutes too long and uneven dramatically, the acting is sharp, and it features some of the most spectacular action and effects sequences of any movie of its kind. full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
Bay's movie is the grandest proof so far that, when it comes to movie characterization, flesh and blood have had their chance. From here on, it's up to metal and plastic. full review

August 26, 2009The only reason I gave this movie a 2 was because of the way the cg works on screen. The Transformers themselves are so cool and when they transform you see every bit of it. As for the movie I wish they would stop making what should be kids movies into something that requires a parent to cover their eyes. I really think Megan Fox is a sellout and she should take her dirty act to where it is more appropriate. The movie at times seemed to be more focused on whether or not we thought she was hot than actually making a good storyline. I also thought I could take my son to this and have him experience something similar to the cartoon I watched as a kid. You failed miserably in this department.
Now for the people that say this is PG 13 ...
it shouldn't have been ...
that is the point ...
the movie should be geared to kids who are actually interested in the toys and more and not to Megan Fox fans who hope to get a glimpse of her beaver -
April 21, 2009I love this movie damn!!!!!!!!
This was a kick ass move,If you had not seen it yet,GO OUT AND RENT IT AND THEN BUY IT ITS SO GREAT...The effects are to die for in this film!!!!! -

February 21, 2009One of few movies that will urge one to view it over...and over...and over again. The storyline embellish possible documentary into sci-fi without loosing any shde of reality.If I were 13 I would join the fanclub to get more perks. Wonderful effects propelled by an excellent storyline as well as a great comming of age experience, A positive message to youth as well as parents. At least 3 thumbs (!!!) up!

February 18, 2009I just can't wait till the next part comes out! It'll be funny if my sister, my friends and I are the only girls that didn't get dragged there by their boyfriends again. We were the only ones last time. It was quite funny. ^^

August 11, 2008This could have been a better movie, but for some reason, Hollywood thinks that they have to 'dumb down' their movies for the kids; this pisses me off, it insults my intelligence. They need to bring the kids up to adult levels and thus making them smarter and making a better human being.
The effects were great, but the stupid little robot just pissed me off. Aren't they supposed to be a higher intelligence?
Take care all,
William
