Critics Consensus

While believable characters are hard to come by in Transformers, the effects are staggering and the action is exhilarating.

Film Comment Magazine

It's not that Bay's vision for the robot-battle choreography is unimaginative. Rather, he lacks imagination to provide viewers with a way of putting all the pieces together for themselves.

Thank god the Transformers speak primarily in proper nouns--if they hadn't shouted "Optimus! Megatron!" every time they struck a blow, I'd have no idea what was happening.

Rated: C-

I challenge you to name another movie about an alien robot come to save the world while disguised as a yellow Camaro. Isn't it just an intergalactic Herbie the Love Bug?

Rated: 2/4

The film does have a lot of issues, but if you can get past them, it’s a good time.

Rated: B

The Ringer

After five films of explosive, mind-numbing action scenes, Michael Bay’s ‘Transformers’ had run its course. ‘Bumblebee’ was a pleasant surprise, but the latest film feels straight out of a Hasbro assembly line.

Even folks who wouldn’t know a Transformer from a Teletubby might enjoy early parts of the film, but all goodwill is drained by the end.

Rated: 2/4

It will always be the best live action Transformers movie ever. Michael Bay did his thing making it funny and action packed with his signature filmmaking. It will always be a nostalgic movie that I go back and rewatch from time to time and never get bored.

Honestly, one of the greatest cinematic things ever thought of and created, anyone that has given less than 5 stars has no brain cells, and those who call themselves "Top" critics clearly should be fired.
