Awsome movie, only complaint: TOO MANY HUMANS!! not enough focus on the Transformers and their inter personal stories. Hopefully they'll fix that in 2

The special effects are amazing. Everything else is as bad as it gets. Michael Bay can hardly work with actors and what worked because of the fresh charisma of Will Smith in Bad Boys and Liv Tyler's beauty in Armageddon is not working The special effects are amazing. Everything else is as bad as it gets. Michael Bay can hardly work with actors and what worked because of the fresh charisma of Will Smith in Bad Boys and Liv Tyler's beauty in Armageddon is not working here, with the two expressions of Shia LaBeouf and the Body named Megan Fox. Charachters are ridiculous, plot is unbelievable (in a bad way), and even the Kodak-moments isn't working as well as it used to back in 1998. Two especially regretable moments are 1. Josh Duhamel returns from a calm walk in the desert to see his wife and kid waiting on the screen of the nearest computer. Wonder what will happen with this plot line? 2. Megan Fox is into cars. But only when she wears hotpants. The shot of her checking BumbleBee's Engine was so lame and cheap, it made me shift in my seat and thinking if this is all a veteran director can do, no wonder we're still having 70's remakes. But hell, the special effects are GOOD! If you have spare money and time, Transformers is not a bad choice. if you have enough money for one movie, there are better ones out there this summer.… Expand

It ventured off course too often just to get in a pointless joke. For example, when the squad of soldiers fight Scorpinok, and that one soldier tries to talk directly to the Pentagon only to be met with some tech support guy in India. Totally pointless! Some people laughed, but that just ruins the flow and sincerity of the movie. Was there any conceivable reason to break the action, suspense, and gravity of a life-and-death situation to get one joke in? It's like while penning the script the writers included whatever they thought was funny. Some jokes were way too immature, like the mom asking Spike if he's masturbating in his room (which isn… Expand

I dont care aboutr the effects, I love the charaters' (which should be true) but this film was NO example of that. I guess i can say I felt terrible for the transformer's themselves sense they were being carryed through this disrepectful 'summer time' movie.....However, Not even Micheal Bay can ruin this franchise, but he sure put a baaaaaaad taste in my mouth for whats to come for our robot friends.… Expand

What an absolute disappointment. The effects were good but Way to go NICK H! You nailed it perfectly with your short review. I'm 32 years old -- I should have LOVED this movie. I grew up with Transformers and was awaiting this greatly. What an absolute disappointment. The effects were good but there was so much wrong with the movie I couldn't help but hating it. It is full of young actors in their mid-20's trying to come across as Grade 11 students ala Beverly-Hills-90210 but worse! They're totally annoying. The lead character is so high-strung he's exhausting to watch. The blonde "hacker" gal has the absolute worst fake accent I've heard in decades. And the gorgeous raven-haired lead gal's acting is TERRIBLE! In her defence though, it isn't entirely her fault -- the movie pits her in numerous poor facial closeups at wrong times and so-called dramatic moments (eg. a loving touch of fingers with the lead guy during one action sequence while they're laying on the ground - aaarrggh! It was worse than when the rock man on Fantastic 4 coudln't pick up the engagement ring on the bridge). I want to know how Megatron, having been incased in ice for several millenium, suddenly wakes up knowing the english language. At least the Autobots blame it on listening in on Internet. I want to know what Michael Bay's obsession is with shooting dramatic scenes with sunsets in the background? Once or twice if fine but come on! He must do it ten times in the movie. Every time the military climbs into aircrafts - sunsets and sunrises. How cliche. By the way, I counted two instances of re-used footage in the film. The same desert explosion was used twice and the same footage of the helicopter Decepticon was used twice. Not a big deal but I hate this. I hate directors who think the audience are morons. The last time I saw footage used twice so blatantly like this was in an 80s porn flick. Come on Bay!… Expand

Josh Dummel is stiff, Tyrese, we all know can't act. Megan Fox is very, very pretty and her acting is okay, but nothing special. The special effects make this movie.

This is a thrill ride more than a movie. Great CGI and action. Some good acting mixed with some cheesy Independence Day-like nutty characters. Shia's character got annoying after a while with his fast talk and super hip-not so cool kid-being cool. These are the kids that run high schools, they aren't the ones hiding in the background!! Megan Fox is beautiful but doesn't do a whole lot other than being an object of super tanned lust. Michael Bay needs to lay off the slow motion, with military horn music...every movie he does this-knock it off, it's cheese. Josh Duhamel and Tyrese are the only two that keep this movie somewhat realistic, they did a good job. Rachael Taylor does an ok job until things get silly with her character. The transformers themselves are cool and the new looks are better than the look from the 80'sl. The decepticons to me were much better looking. The CGI is amazing. Optimus Prime's voice is as cool as ever. The fights are full of action. Overall Michael Bay proves to me that he still can't create real humans, but is great at creating simple macho action. Good movie but forgettable characters except for the transformers themselves.… Expand

The CGI is impressive, the Autobots and Decepticons looked real and convincing. Shia LaBeouf was a good choice for the role, but Megan Fox was only tolerable. She isn't a talented or competent actress, just eye candy for the guys. I was hardly 'moved' when she slammed her hands against the steering and leaned her forehead against it (as though) in defeat. What crap! Bumblebee's performance as 'tortured prisoner' was better than hers. This movie was not violent, no blood and gore that could frighten and disgust me. I wasn't turned off, not even when Scorponok speared G.I Joe, First Sergeant Donnelly (I think...). Peter Cullen's voice was a trip down memory lane for me. So pleasant to hear. I was broken up that Jazz had to die *sniff* Heart-pounding (RE:Bumblebee's showdown with Barricade), earsplitting bass and stereophonics that left my ears ringing long after I left the theater, and injected comedy (the Autobots as they try to hide around Sam's house.

OK, I understand this is supposed to be a summer action movie about giant robots battling it out, but come on... this is the BEST Hollywood could do with the Transformers license? How bad was this? First, when you're making a movie OK, I understand this is supposed to be a summer action movie about giant robots battling it out, but come on... this is the BEST Hollywood could do with the Transformers license? How bad was this? First, when you're making a movie about giant robots fighting, DO NOT zoom the camera all the way in, so the only part of the robot I can see is a few whirring cogs and wire bundles. Second, if you're going to start off the movie portraying the government and military as serious and in control, DO NOT introduce a secret government group guarding 'the biggest discovery ever" as having the competence of the Keystone Cops. Third, I don't really think giant robots are going to care about whether the Shia LeBouf's parents discover them trampling the grass while they are trying to save the world... much less drag the scene out for 10 minutes. I give this film a 2 because, for the first 15 minutes or so, I was genuinely entertained. The movie felt like it was going to be great, it had a good vibe and pace to it. Then the idiotic humor, witty teenage banter, terrible cinematography, and complete disregard for physics started to get worse... and worse... and worse.… Expand

And I've sat through Bio Dome & Anaconda while scores of people around me walked out. It didn't even matter whether I was a fan of the 80's cartoon (which I was), this was perhaps the worst written movie I've ever seen. Best highlight? When the grunt soldier dials his direct line to the pentagon (apparently all military personnel get a direct phone number to the Pentagon) and a (haha) stereotypical Indian guy answers and starts asking him for his credit card info. Or maybe when the Autobot sends up a blatant ripoff "Bat Signal" light into the sky to call down the other Transformers. Or maybe when G.W. Bush on Airforce One asks the stewardess to bring him some Ringdings, she goes down to the kitchen to get some, unwraps it, drops it on the floor by accident, then picks it up & starts eating it (?!?!). What did I learn from this? Well, (1), if you believe your car is stalking you, don't stay inside nice & safe where you already are, be sure to run outside and hop on your mom's bicycle so it can chase you. (2) high school girls run around with the halfnaked body of a Victoria's Secret model, eating exclusively nothing but Burger King & fixing cars, and (3), the (2nd) smartest internet hacker America has is (once again) a hot 'high school' girl who is 6x as smart as any college-trained pentagon official, is granted top-level military access, & figures everything out in an instant.

I had a free voucher from the theater for this movie, and I still feel ripped off. I only give it a 1 for the CGI, which was actually no better than anything else the last few years.

It's probably one of the most memorable films I've seen in quite a while. I typically have a fairly short attention span, and I personally didn't think of the plot as mindless filler between shiny things fighting. The visuals were raw, gritty, and quite stunning. The only bad thing I have to say about the movie, is that it eventually ended and I couldn't watch it anymore. You can't go to a movie like this expecting to have a philosophical and intellectually enlightening revelation. It is what one would expect in a movie about transformers. I found myself watching the film with quite the shit-eating grin on my face for the majority of it. Of course, I grew up in the 80's playing with transformers myself.

Transformers is the biggest and 2nd best movie Michael Bay has ever done (I'm partial to Armageddon). The screen is filled with awe-inspiring visuals and there is no lack of intense action to be had. Surprisingly, Transformers isn't just a 2 and a half hour action scene (unlike Live Free or Die hard). The acting and script are surprisingly solid, especially Labeouf's entertaining performance as Sam Witwicky. If there's anything not to like about the film, it's the occasionally balance issue. There are plenty of epic sequences in the film and plenty of humorous ones too (it's a very funny movie), but sometimes the scenes can intertwine, leading to some annoyances. It's kind of hard to find an epic feeling as Sam and his new girlfriend Mikaela (played by the stunning Megan Fox) marveling at the the sighting of Bumblebee in his robotic form when Sam is standing around with a shirt but not boxers. Still, it's a fantastic movie and should not be missed.… Expand
