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?

Reviews for Transformers
Top CriticIt’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.

Top CriticWith Transformers, director Michael Bay has once again claimed the year’s top honors for loud, stupid filmmaking.
07/11/07
Top CriticThe 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.
07/11/07
Top CriticNot a movie, just one gigantic commercial for Hasbro.
07/11/07
Top CriticThe film's hurtling visuals and snappy pace (even at two-plus hours) allow many a postmodernist to escape overreaching tendencies.
07/07/07
Top CriticDivorced from reality, even movie reality, Transformers becomes an action film in traction. Its relentless product placement makes it seem like a 2hr. 22min. General Motors commercial. And the film has just enough collisions to be a crashing bore.
07/06/07
Top CriticThe welcome mat is out for Michael Bay's cheerfully dopey saga inspired by the popular shape-shifting toys from the '80s.
07/05/07
Top CriticTransformers is the comic-book movie on steroids, a fusion of sound and fury and sci-fi plotting that leaves plenty of room for a franchise.
07/03/07
Top CriticThis is a movie to see on the big screen.
07/03/07
Top CriticTransformers twiddles its big, fat, stupid robotic thumbs for the better part of two hours before jabbing them into your eye socket and finger-f***ing your brain in the last 20 minutes. Yes!
07/03/07
Top CriticBay, at heart, isn't a fantasist; he's a literal-minded maestro of demolition. But then, that serves Transformers well during its climax, a spectacular clash of the heavy metal titans, and a primal reminder of why boys love their toys.
07/03/07
Top CriticThe illusion is shattered whenever the 'bots start talking or the action stops. Bay tries to gloss over the infantile plot, but it would take a lighter, wittier touch to square the movie's pedestrian script.
07/02/07
Top CriticWhile Bay succeeds in creating a seamless mix of computer-generated effects with live-action, the real treat of his film is the flesh-and-blood LaBeouf. He is LaBomb.
07/02/07
Top CriticFor Transformers fans, I suppose this is a dream motion picture. For everyone else, it's a nightmare.
07/02/07
Top CriticTransformers is way better than anyone could have expected from Michael Bay, the director who gave us Armageddon and Pearl Harbor.
07/02/07
Top CriticA dizzying summer adventure, Transformers is a film to worship for its set pieces and chastise for its inscrutable storytelling.
07/02/07
Top CriticA movie of epically assaultive noise and nonsense.
07/02/07
Top CriticAn uneven, overlong and at times overbearing flick.
07/02/07
Top CriticThere is so much action packed into every second of Transformers that by the time it's over, you may be tempted to go outside and give the box office another 10 bucks.
