Morphs from Army-enlisting ad to toy ad (on its way passing through a panoply of car ads, computer ads, beer ads) without ever becoming a movie

Reviews for Transformers
Thank god the Transformers speak primarily in proper nouns--if they hadn't shouted "Optimus! Megatron!" every time they struck a blow, I'd have no idea what was happening.

Transformers is a rollicking, rousing experience.

It is a teenage boy's wet dream. The girls are insanely hot, the lead is awkward/funny and the action sequences are top notch.

...if you are an adult and not already a fan, you may find the movie more than a bit long, loud, and frenzied.

Come to think of it, I was pretty stupid when I was six years old. So is this film.
07/31/08
Director Michael Bay's bigger than life version of the cartoon I grew up loving pretty much ruined one of my favorite childhood memories.

Although it strives to appeal to the whole family, it winds up emerging as a kiddie flick on steroids - a big-budget, effects heavy, feature film version of a Saturday morning cartoon.
07/07/08
Transformers is the best action movie I have seen since The Matrix.
05/24/08
'Transformers' is a loud, unsophisticated testament to the visceral thrills of effects-driven mayhem.
04/09/08
An overachiever of a film that practically defines the term summer blockbuster.
01/04/08
If you take Transformers with a grain of salt...you'll have a pretty fun time checking out both the robotic (transformers) and human (Megan Fox) eye candy

The action scenes are too chaotic to be exciting.
10/19/07
Audiences are liable to be in a state of utter bewilderment.

Without expectations I could sit back and enjoy the updated computer- generated nostalgia for what it was.
10/08/07
Just a whole tub o’ fun.
09/21/07
... Bay and his team know what we want from a Transformers movie: cool transformations, over-the-top chase sequences, and senseless destruction.
09/13/07
A sensory attack that drives us into tiny little fetal balls on the ground, whimpering that we must have liked it because the car effects looked cool.
