While believable characters are hard to come by in Transformers, the effects are staggering and the action is exhilarating.

For the bot-neutral rest of us, two-and-a-half hours of mostly incoherent special effects may be a bit much.
I challenge you to name another movie about an alien robot come to save the world while disguised as a yellow Camaro. Isn't it just an intergalactic Herbie the Love Bug?
It's a big, cool, dopey, noisy, non-stop action powerhouse. It's also too long by a half hour and it left my ears ringing, but it's a lot of fun.
With Transformers, director Michael Bay has once again claimed the year's top honors for loud, stupid filmmaking.
The action sequences are so turgid it's sometimes hard to tell which 'bot is doing what, but with Bay steadily hurling fireworks you won't really pause much to think about that, or about how truly inane the story is.
Not a movie, just one gigantic commercial for Hasbro.
Transformers leaves very few blocks left un-busted.
hat was delivered will no doubt send merchandising sales spiralling into orbit, but sadly at the cost of countless brain cells popping through after nearly two and a half hours of tedium.
Transformers delivers on its promise of stunning visuals and well-crafted action sequences, but it's not remotely worth the slog it takes to get there. Once the novelty of the robots wears off it's hopelessly insipid.
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.
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.
Big, dumb, and attractive in this case is good enough. (Blu-ray Edition)
...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.
Toys come to life in big, boomy explosion fest.

- Sergeant Lennox: Where's your card?
- USAF Tech Sergeant Epps: It's in my back pocket!
- Sergeant Lennox: You've got 12 back pockets!

- Optimus Prime: With the All Spark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. And fate has yielded its reward: a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting.

- Megatron: Humans don't deserve to live.
- Optimus Prime: They deserve to choose for themselves!
- Megatron: Then you will die WITH THEM!

- Optimus Prime: Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it hold the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That is how our race was born. For a time we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war. A war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find and rebuild our home. Searching every star, every world. And just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called...Earth. But we were already too late.
