Michael Bay has finally made a good film. The story was rock solid with visuals that were excellent. Even though I don't care for Megan Fox as an actress she didn't do a horrible job. I think everyone would enjoy this film.

The plot is actually better than you'd expect in a giant robots fighting movie, with the Autobots trying to find the Allspark before the Decepticons who all have really cool names (my profile is named after Starscream so I guess I'm kind of biased) The acting's not bad either all though it's funny to watch now since we all know what became of Shia LaBouef. But of course the action's all that matters and while I feel that this is the weakest of the trilogy in terms of action, watching two robots fight it out in the middle of a crowded city never gets old. However by far the most important aspect of this movie is that it introduced a generation of new fans to one of the greatest sci-fi sagas ever told, which is certainly something to be proud of.… Expand

Unlike it's sequels the action is very impressive, instead of annoying, the humor works, instead of giving headaches, and the scenes with human characters are actually passable. The story needs some work, and it can at times be kind of stupid, but it's nowhere near the shear mental handicappedness of its sequels screenplays. It's not anywhere near perfect, but it shows that the franchise had potential and could be entertaining at one point. Why did revenge of the fallen have to be such a huge disappointment? Did they even try to make a decent sequel? I don't think so.… Expand

It offered a new perspective on animation and it certainly elevated the technique. The plot was actually quite good, lacking any major holes or inconsistencies and you could certainly enjoy the full length of the movie without actually wanting it to stop. The actions scenes, so characteristic for Bay and his work, actually had a measure and the movie gave you just the right dose of such scenes not to bore you or laugh you to death. The Transformers were crafted in a very interesting way, adding dynamics to the somewhat too robotic interpretation we've seen in the animated series. The only thing you couldn't actually ignore were Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf. Megan is a really, really bad actress... I don't have anything else to add. Shia has, in some of his more recent roles, shown a certain amount of skill, but his role in the Transformers series wasn't all that good. You just couldn't get past the irritating teenager act and he never actually tried to elevate that, despite certain possibilities. On the other hand, Turturro was a definite scene-stealer, but even Bay can't eliminate the quality of John Turturro.

All in all, the first Transformers film was a well-realized project that actually gave us high hopes which were, sadly, annulled throughout the years. Something worth watching, certainly, even for those who aren't Transformers fans, but still, note that you shouldn't expect more than a better-than-average action movie with giant robots transforming into all kinds off stuff.… Expand

Of all the films that Michael Bay has directed, this and 'The Rock' (1996) are some of his cleanest ones. However, I think that if 'The Rock' didn't exist, this film would be a 9 or even a 10. But it gets an average 7 and here's why.Of all the films that Michael Bay has directed, this and 'The Rock' (1996) are some of his cleanest ones. However, I think that if 'The Rock' didn't exist, this film would be a 9 or even a 10. But it gets an average 7 and here's why.

'Transformers' follows the story of a young, high school boy named Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) who gets caught in an incident when a group of autobots want his grandfather's glasses that contain some secret piece of information.

The lead autobot is Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) who wants Sam's help to retrieve theses glasses and keep it away from the evil Decepiticons. Sam has a car that is also a transformer who is called "Bumblebee", and can only communicate with Sam via radio stations.

Megan Fox plays Mikaela, Sam's love interest, who sticks around because the screenplay says so. While convincing acting can be tough to come from Fox, these two actors do have very good chemistry together and they seem convincing as a couple. Why she sticks around during all this robot rumble though can be a little hard to believe.

The film's biggest weakness however, is the comedy. We've seen elements of comedy in past action movies, but they were always subtle and the director's of those films didn't rely on funny one-liners or ironic incidents to keep their movies at an entertaining pace.

Another weakness is the run-time, while 'Transformers' isn't the most difficult movie to sit through with all the robot destruction and explosive action, the run time can make it feel like you're sitting through an extended edition of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' (2003). The film goes on for half an hour too long, and you know it's a problem when you stop caring for the characters after having seen what they've gone through in the first two hours.

Michael Bay is a very ambitious director, famous for not being so respected with film critics and typical movie-goers, but here, he has demonstrated that maybe he can direct an action film, a "Transformers" film at that.

I never grew up with the Hasbro Transformers toys as a child, I was more of a Lego kid. Maybe my opinion on this film may not count, but, you either judge this as a film based on toys, or you judge it as an action film in general...I think action fans will get what they deserve, but overall, there has been better.… Expand

When I saw Transformers, I will admit I wasn't expecting much. And you know what I thought it was a good movie. It is far from the best movie ever made, but it is well worth watching for a number of reasons.

The best thing about the movieWhen I saw Transformers, I will admit I wasn't expecting much. And you know what I thought it was a good movie. It is far from the best movie ever made, but it is well worth watching for a number of reasons.

The best thing about the movie was the visual/special effects. They were absolutely mind-blowing, and the whole movie is worth the look just for them alone. And the robots especially Megatron were convincing enough, and the movements weren't jerky in any way. The sound is absolutely terrific, and the music is great. The storyline is original, fast-paced and gripping on the most part. There is some nice humour thrown into the mix, however the dialogue for me was a little too cheesy in places.

The performances are spirited and bring a sense of fun to the proceedings. Shia LeBoeuf brings some charisma and appeal to the title role of Sam, and Megan Fox is hot. John Tuturro has fun in his role, and Kevin Dunn and Julie White are both hilarious as Sam's parents. Hugo Weaving is superb as Megatron, and Peter Cullen makes the most of his character Optimus Prime. In fact, the only weak performance came from the talented Jon Voight, he just seemed out of place. And while there are plenty of visual thrills, I wasn't a massive fan of Michael Bay's direction, it just seemed as though the visuals, story and performances were doing the work and Bay was just there making sure it was all going to plan.

Overall, it is flawed but Transformers while not the best or worst of its genre is worth the look, especially if you are looking for terrific visuals, great sound and a good story. That way, if you overlook the flaws it does indeed have, you are in for a treat. 7/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: -Really good action scenes.
-The actors are doing a pretty solid job.
-The human characters, while a bit generic, are likable enough.
-Decent score.

Cons:
-The human characters, while likable enough, are still kinda generic. I honestly wasn’t expecting them to be super deep since this is Michael Bay, who is notorious for making style over substance films, but that still doesn’t excuse it. -Not all of the attempts at humor land.
-Certain things in the ending, such as the Allspark killing Megatron and Bumblebee getting his voice back out of nowhere, could have been explained better.

Final verdict: Transformers 1 is a pretty decent sci-fi action thriller that is easily still the second best Transformers movie (based on what I have heard, I have not seen any of the other Transformers movies aside from Bumblebee) and I would say that if you are interested it is worth checking out. However if you want a REALLY good Transformers movie, I’d still say go watch Bumblebee before this.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this movie so much i don't know why people hate this movie and all the movies in the trilogy. I can agree some of the parts can get a little weird, it has awesome CGI. I do hate that they killed off jazz i personally would have liked to see more of him cause he's a very iconic character. In my opinion nothing can beat G1 transformers but i love this movie trilogy as well.… Expand

With fantastic CGI, plenty of exhilarating action sequences and witty dialogue, "Transformers" qualifies as a stylish and engaging summer blockbuster.

Very flashy movie - attractive cast, and brilliant cgi animations. However, the attempt at establishing settings for the story and the romance plot is weak at best. There is no character development.

Nice spectacle, it's silly good fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which is important in a silly giant robot movie.

Transformers is a good action film, the robots look amazing, and the plot is ok, it has also an excellent visual effects, the transformers are introduced correctly, the Decepticons not so good, but it's a good film.

He didn’t realize that the car was a robot, who came from the other planet to find the rare box. Sam Witwicky got the car and he began to know that the car was a robot, Bumblebee. The robot explains to him that he comes to the earth with his teammates the rare box. The boy was exciting at that time and suddenly, he began to feel good because he knew that the robot is good and help to save the world. After that, they collaborated together to overcome the evil and tried to find those box. They were trying to escape every obstacle and saved the people's life from the bad things. Finally, they found the rare box and help the world to live with peace. Sometimes this story is hard to follow because it’s a kind of Sci-fi action movie. Some scenes I understand, but some scenes not. One thing I felt happy with this movie is, it’s predictable because I knew much about the action movies which are always happy at the end. Obviously, I love this movie because of its realistic, technology, and scientific. I will spend my time to watch another part of the movies very soon!!!… Expand

This movie is one of Bay's best. Even though the story isn't that great and the characters needed more development, kickass Transformers action and awesome Transformer characters make this movie worth while.

I only used to think that it is an anime series. The first time I learnt about the movies was when one of my friends got a Nexus tablet to school and played this movie when there was no teacher in the class. I really liked the opening scenes and decided that at some point I will watch this movie. Little did I know that the opportunity will come 8 years later when the lockdown would happen. I watched it and enjoyed it very much.
Transformers is exactly what I wanted to watch when I used to see the terrible anime. I didn't like Optimus Prime very much back then but in this movie I understood why he is so important to the franchise and now I am a huge fan of Optimus Prime. There were so many other Transformers whose names I got to learn as I watched this full staff I used to see this movie in parts on TV and I used to think that Bumblebee was Hotshot. After watching this movie I was feeling like replacing the the logo of my car with the Transformers logo.
All the Transformers movies have very good CGI, cinematography, choreography and colour grading. What the other movies lack in, however, is a good story and acting. This movie has all of that. I really wish all the other Transformers movies were also like this. Here I cared about Sam, the army guys and of course, Mikaela (°"U"°). This is one of the only two Transformers movies which actually has a good plot (the other doing bumblebee).
If the future Transformers movies had built up on what this movie created they could have actually been very awesome. But instead they focused more on creating a bigger universe with more cars and more merch to sell rather than on character development. I can often come back to watch this movie because of the cool cars and fight scenes, without having any of the cringe the future movies had.… Expand

The film tells the story of Sam, played by an actor named Shia LaBeouf, who later becomes involved in a war between cars and decepticons. The story is good, but for me it's not a masterpiece. Where the film literally sets the crown of quality, there are action scenes. Watching fighting robots with explosions around is perhaps the best thing here. If you are looking for an action movie, I can recommend the Transformers series.… Expand

I left the theater amazed and excited. I've been reading some of the bad reviews and I just can't understand why. Sure, it's very much a Michael Bay movie. If you don't like Michael Bay, you won't like this (duh!). But, the special effects are astounding, the action is constant, and the humor cracks me up. I am so glad Peter Cullen stayed as the voice of Optimus Prime. Hugo Weaving also did a great job of Megatron. His character was just too cool and the voice was convincing without thinking "hey, it's the guy from 'The Matrix'". The humor was well placed without being hokey or forced. The effects blew me away--I keep asking myself "how did they do that?" Sure it's got it's faults, but overall, it's an excellent summer flick. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD.… Expand

Sure the Transformers part are more exciting than the human parts and that's exactly the type of movie Transformers was, a type of movie where people are watching it because they just wanna see a bunch of giant robots punching and shooting each other, and if that's the case for a film critic at in the end i'm pretty sure they will give the film a negative, well in this case, the humans are actually for me are likeable and convincing enough to make both side almost perfectly equal and stable, i like Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox in here, their love relationship was a whatever for me not that it's anything bad but it just whatever, i like them more as a partner not a couple, and the rest of the cast was also great, the humans sort of bad guy of the film played by John Turturro was incredible, and of course the Autobots, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and the rest was cool, Transformers human story and characters are likeable and convincing enough to make me still care about them and it works fine, the whole Transformers part are super well executed with great visual effect, incredible cinematography, lot's of explosion, exciting, and super solid final battle even though how they end Megatron was kinda underwhelming for me, nit picky here and there, but pretty good soundtrack, so overall Transformers is still a solid movie and i will see what comes next.… Expand

Unlike the following several, this one has legendary humor. Along with the 1986 film, this is an outstanding masterpiece. Unlike some of the subsequent films, this one features some well-written human characters that are both interesting and entertaining. The photography is superb and the film appears to be really stylish. The narrative revolves on a teenage boy and his car works surprisingly well and feels like many of the more classic Steven Spielberg films such as Jurassic Park or E.T. The dialogue is really good and Glen is very relatable. I think that the way they portray the Decepticons in this movie as absolute hulking unstoppable beasts that you need to work together to defeat was really cool. The designs for the transformers are menacing and aesthetically pleasing. All in all there’s a lot more than meets the eye to this film!… Expand

But the movie is great when the Autobots are on the screen. I love the action scenes Prime and Bumblebee are the best characters in this movie they are both badasses.Its cool to see how much the military changes through each movie from hating the Transformers to working with them, honestly when you think about it Michael Bay actually does use practical effects for his explosions which I can respect.
