This is how Michael Bay make horrible movies into good, explosive, and entertaining summer movies. The fans of the classic Transformers franchise or the old-school Michael Bay movies won't be disappointed watching this.

It's a film about explosions, but rest assured, you can look past the dizzying plot and unlikable characters to see that it's just a film about really awesome robots fighting each other.

Transformers is visually stunning and has thrilling action sequences, but offers very little depth, extremely poor character development, and is mostly brainless.

Doesn't have "You've Got The Touch" by Stan Bush. No way it will be a good movie anymore. Needs a more 1980's soundtrack like the original movie, which is really good.

I know that Micheal Bay basically put non stop stereotypes for characters like Megan Fox as the hot girl also Bernie Mac as the car dealer. Also Micheal Bay has a bad direction in directing movies also the fact he does not know how to make a picture if number 1: Stops trying to have stereotypes actors for dumb roles. Number 2: NO more dumb jokes to add to to your movies ! take my advice bay.

Transformers is a 2 and 1/2 hour long video game that the audience isn't allowed to play. On the IMDB trivia page it says 'The most amazing thing about Transformers is that they set the release date without a completed script'. I beg to differ. The most amazing thing about Transformers is that they finished filming without a completed script. Transformers is contrived, convoluted and incoherent on so many levels that most would call it unworthy of serious examination. Transformers isn't only critic-proof, it resists serious criticism. You might as well analyse a beach ball. The immoderate overload of CGI, ugly set-pieces and mind numbing action made it impossible for me to shut my eyes and dream of a better movie. It's not merely bad; it's unpleasant in a hostile way. Apparently Michael Bay was inspired by David Cronenberg's 1996 film Crash. And now that I think about it, I can see the mild resemblance. Both movies are like watching automobile accidents. Only one was intended to be. Add it all up, and what you've got here is a waste of good electricity.

Before watching the film: I have seen some of the American cartoons of the 80's, the 1986 film and some of the Japanese cartoons of the 90's.

Premise: The Transformers (Autobots and Decepticons) rushes to Earth to fight over the All Spark,Before watching the film: I have seen some of the American cartoons of the 80's, the 1986 film and some of the Japanese cartoons of the 90's.

Premise: The Transformers (Autobots and Decepticons) rushes to Earth to fight over the All Spark, a powerful energy source that was sent away from their home planet, and while fighting over the All Spark, they cause chaos and destruction everywhere.

Pros: There isn't any.

Cons:
1) Michael Bay directed this.

2) Unless you are a serious Transformers fan, it is hard to follow all of the robots' names and therefore what's happening. The names should have been simplified for the wider audience.

3) The characterisation of some of the robots to imitate Black or Latino people is just stupid.

4) The transformation processes were made unnecessarily complicated with every small metal bit of the robot/vehicle flipping here and there. It is unrealistic and just there to show off the CGI. It's dumb.

5) When the Transformers were fighting in the city while in robot mode, they were indistinguishable from each other. It leaves the viewers in total confusion as to what is going on.

6) Here, as in any other film involving major destruction of a major city that is caused by a big robot or monster, rather than a natural disaster, there was no sense of the major loss of human lives and properties. It was just stupid, wonton destruction.

7) Megan Fox contributed nothing to this film.

8) Did I mention that Michael Bay directed this?

Score: 3/5 (no half scores). Save your money and watch it on TV. (It is a bit surprising that with all the cons, I would still give it a passing score... Maybe, its because I was younger and less smart back then.)

Who would be satisfied with this film? Most Transformer fans, most children, most teens and some adults. The elder you are, the less you would like it.

P.S. After watching this film, I had promised myself that unless the sequel got good reviews from the critics and regular viewers, I would not watch it. It got terrible reviews.… 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

For the past year or so, geek tempers have flared high over the prospect of a Michael Bay-directed update of The Transformers, a mid-'80s Hasbro cartoon about sentient alien robots capable of disguising themselves as mundane Earth machines,For the past year or so, geek tempers have flared high over the prospect of a Michael Bay-directed update of The Transformers, a mid-'80s Hasbro cartoon about sentient alien robots capable of disguising themselves as mundane Earth machines, from cars to planes to tape recorders to, um, robotic dinosaurs. Thanks to a line of reasonably neat toys and a better-than-average-for-the-time plotline pitting the noble Autobots against the evil Decepticons, The Transformers captured the imagination of a generation of kids, and the several spin-off series and animated movie continued to bring new fans into thrall. Since the first live-action film version was announced, the Internet has been abuzz with debate over exactly how the explosion-meister director of Pearl Harbor and The Island was going to screw up the franchise. Hardcore fans have **** about the robot designs, the vehicle designs, the silly Maguffin-centric plot, and much more, but even they couldn't have anticipated exactly how Transformers ruins their memories: by turning the franchise into a terrible '80s comedy.

The film opens with Peter Cullen (reprising his '80s original role as Autobot leader Optimus Prime) delivering a cheesy voiceover about "the Allspark," a mysterious cube of unknown provenance that gives life to worlds. Cut to modern-day Qatar, where a giant robot destroys an American military base and hacks into its computers in search of data on the cube, in the kind of modern action scene fans were probably most hoping for. And then… cut to nearly an hour of John Hughes-style teen-romance goofery, as spastic twit Shia LaBoeuf flails his way through an attempted romance of Megan Fox, the hottest girl in high school. He pratfalls in front of her, he blithers to himself nervously, he gets all unnerved as his mom asks if he's been masturbating and suggests that if the word makes him uncomfortable, he could call it Special Happy Time instead. Astonishingly, what should be a propulsive action film stumbles along in this vein through much of the rest of its length, dragging out inane jokes and excruciating humiliation routines; even when the heroic Autobots finally appear, they're similarly dignity-free bumblers who spout passé catchphrases (having learned their English from Earth TV, natch), accidentally stomp a rose garden (Optimus Prime: "Oops, my bad."), and get pissed on by a Chihuahua. ("That's going to rust.")

Transformers features a fair bit of action, and from time to time, it stays serious long enough to get exciting. But the Transformers' cluttered visual designs and Bay's frantic cutting frequently make it hard to tell what's happening in a given battle until the victor shows up in the next scene. And the writers' habit of undermining nearly every significant moment with corny gags and comic robot flailing à la Short Circuit is practically inexplicable. At this point, no one should be expecting much from Michael Bay except fast pacing and decently choreographed explosions. With Transformers, he doesn't even make it that far.… Expand

For me, it's just another loud, plot-deficient summer motion picture. In this case, nostalgia doesn't grip me - I'm too old to have played with the gadgets or watched the cartoon. I'm sure many fanboys (and girls) will be delighted by what Michael Bay has done to update the Transformers mythos (basically, that means incorporating A-level special effects and blowing lots of things up). On the other hand, those with no particular emotional attachment to the toys and their multimedia offshoots may dislike this movie as much as I did.

Thus far, the summer of 2007 has been full of very loud, very unsatisfying action movies. Transformers tops them all - it's louder, flashier, and more hollow than anything else out there. At 135 minutes, it drags - sometimes painfully so. The movie is top-heavy with exposition, and the only decent action scenes occur in the final 25 minutes. Despite an epileptic camera, those sequences are impressive from a special effects point-of-view, but they aren't exciting. That's because the characters are so poorly developed and the Transformers so singularly uninteresting that the question of who wins or loses doesn't matter. All the effort behind Transformers went into making the robots look cool; nothing went into developing a compelling storyline. Even the headline bout between Optimus Prime and Megatron is pedestrian - two big metallic monsters slugging it out while the camera spins around them as if out of control. It's kind of reminiscent of the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots going at it.

If the dialogue is anything to go by, Bay has a sense of humor. Not only does he take a moment to poke fun at one of his earlier hit movies, but he allows so many howlingly bad lines to be spoken that the level of self-parody has to be intentional. Transformers is a jumble of the good, the bad, and the ugly, with the latter two categories outweighing the former. The film has a lot of nice touches (such as the opening attack in Qatar, where there is a sense of danger, and the John Hughes-inspired introduction of Sam), but the meat of the story is plodding, recycled sci-fi drivel. That, I suppose, is what happens when a major motion picture is based on a 20-plus year old toy phenomenon.

Transformers is so belabored that it makes Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End seem like a masterpiece of pacing. It makes that "classic" midsummer alien invasion movie, Independence Day, seem like a template for inventive plotting and solid character development. Even by Michael Bay standards, this movie is vapid. Yes, there are plenty of explosions, but those are a dime-a-dozen these days; even Discovery Channel's Mythbusters has them. Transformers isn't clean, big-budget fun; it's clean, big-budget tedium. For Transformers fans, I suppose this is a dream motion picture. For everyone else, it's a nightmare.… 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

It's usual Michael Bay stuff - close-ups of hot chicks, top-notch special effects, and slow motion in front of american flags or helicopters with dusk or dawn in the background. The action is fun to watch and that's all you really need to know.

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

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

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

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

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

I love the transformers - I grew up on them - and this movie has absolutely NOTHING to do with them aside from co-opting the original voice of Optimus Prime. This is not a movie - it's an extended ad for american nationalism and their bloated war machine. It is exploitative of women and it blatantly stereotypes anyone who isn't a white male. Trying to rewatch this now was such a loathsome experience I actually threw the disc out my window and into the alley so that it can rest amongst the other trash where it belongs. I will give credit to some of the humour peppered throughout the film and yes the visuals were impressive , but those can't save this film. The dialogue is embarrassingly poor , the writers clearly spent more time on military jargon that actual character dialogue. This movie is nothing but a big dumb ad to encourage white kids to join the military and it should be buried and forgotten. hopefully someday someone makes a real transformers movie where we get to see our beloved autobots and decepeticons as they are meant to be - not the swirling cg mess that they made them into in this film. long live the transformers - may they be handed over to a director who knows how to make movies.… Expand

Overall, I had a great time watching the movie and was quite satisfied. It was far from ideal, but I am prepared to overlook the shortcomings. I really just wanted to have fun, and that's all I got out of the movie.

Even in the first movie the rating is one of the best and even so it is still low if you buy with how good this movie is. The cgi of a 2007 movie can be better than the 2023 Transformers, how is that possible? Hahaha, would be lazy

The action and CGI are amazing, the acting is well done, the actors and robots are well cast. It's a Micheal Bay movie, so of course it's just a bit too long. But the action keeps amped up throughout the entire movie. A one of a kind action/robot movie. Auto bots, roll out.… Expand

Película aburridísima. Primero que nada su trama es un cliché tras cliché, la película no tiene sentido, y solo son explosiones y efectos especiales. Sumamente aburrida
