"4.5- Can we say overrated... even though overrated it's still enjoyable. Great effects! I love Shia's performance, his awakardness always makes me laugh."
- projecthurley, gave it a 4/5
"Being a Gen-Xer, I grew up watching this as a cartoon and loved it! Then, when the animated movie came out, I was able to renew my love for the Autobots and the Decepticons (gotta love those bad guys!). When this came to the big screen I of course watched it on the Net, then watched it at the local IMAX, and decided I had to get it when it came out. I can only hope that when #2 comes out in 2009 it will be even better!"
- dvdtrdraz, gave it a 5/5
"4.4 GHreat Action and Special Effect! Even humorous at times! Highly Enjoyable and realistic! (if you can call giant robot life forms realistic... ) "

"I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?" deadpans Sam Witwicky, hero and human heart of Michael Bay's rollicking robot-smackdown fest, Transformers. Witwicky (the sweetly nerdy Shia LaBeouf, channeling a young John Cusack) is the perfect counterpoint to the nearly nonstop exhilarating action. The plot is simple: an alien civil war (the Autobots vs. the evil Decepticons) has spilled onto Earth, and young Sam is caught in the fray by his newly purchased souped-up Camaro. Which has a mind--and identity, as a noble-warrior robot named Bumblebee--of its own. The effects, especially the mind-blowing transformations of the robots into their earthly forms and back again, are stellar.
Fans of the earlier film and TV series will be thrilled at this cutting-edge incarnation, but this version should please all fans of high-adrenaline action. Director Bay gleefully salts the movie with homages to pop-culture touchstones like Raiders of the Lost Ark, King Kong, and the early technothriller WarGames. The actors, though clearly all supporting those kickass robots, are uniformly on-target, including the dashing Josh Duhamel as a U.S. Army sergeant fighting an enemy he never anticipated; Jon Voight, as a tough yet sympathetic Secretary of Defense in over his head; and John Turturro, whose special agent manages to be confidently unctuous, even stripped to his undies. But the film belongs to Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and the dastardly Megatron--and the wicked stunts they collide in all over the globe. Long live Transformers! --A.T. Hurley
