Bay, of course, can't resists temptation to use as many explosions in the film as possible

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

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.

For the bot-neutral rest of us, two-and-a-half hours of mostly incoherent special effects may be a bit much.

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.

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.

Transformers is the best action movie I have seen since The Matrix.

'Transformers' is a loud, unsophisticated testament to the visceral thrills of effects-driven mayhem.

An overachiever of a film that practically defines the term summer blockbuster.

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

When Transformers is going strong early on, it’s the grandest -- in every sense of the word -- entertainment in years.

Without expectations I could sit back and enjoy the updated computer- generated nostalgia for what it was.
