    Transformers is a wet dream for fanboys, with vehicles that whiz and whir into alien robots, spectacular sci-fi stunt chases, glistening military hardware, overheated computer software and brainy, hot girls who love Popular Mechanics.

    Deafeningly loud and proudly silly epic.

    Louder, flashier, and more hollow than anything else out there.

    Michael Bay's Blockbuster "Transformers" has everything lock-n-loaded for the summer year; sexy chicks, transforming CGI vehicles, and explosions!!!

    While this movie isn't terrible it is far from being great. Let's start with the robots, Optimus Prime is pretty shallow in this film and i didn't enjoy seeing him as much as i did in the cartoons, the same goes for the rest of the Autobots. And don't even get me started on Shia Labeoufs character, he is one of the most annoying and unlikable characters i have ever seen and i don't like him at all as an actor. Also the story makes little sense so they make it up by having lots and lots of exsplosions which gets boring after while. However some positive things is that Megatron was greatly developed and Hugo Weaving is great as the voice of Megatron. Also i liked Starscream and Ironhide, and the action sequenses is fun at times. Overall it's a decent movie but i want a Transformers movie to be more than decent. Michael Bay isn't a very good director and he just doesen't belong in a frachise as great as Transformers.… Expand

    The kid inside of me loved this movie. But then again, I was pretty stupid when I was a kid.
