Variety
Big, loud and full of testosterone-fueled car fantasies, Michael Bay's actioner hits a new peak for CGI work, showcasing spectacular chases and animated transformation sequences seamlessly blended into live-action surroundings. - 90
The Hollywood Reporter
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. - 75
Baltimore Sun
The whole thing is too giddy to be taken seriously and too much of a confection to leave much of a lasting impression. But for 140 minutes, at least, it should give non-fanboys at least an idea of what all the fuss is about. - 75
Charlotte Observer
The energy never lets up, and two committed, unfussy leading actors are an improvement over other summer flicks. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
Everything comes down to an epic battle between the Transformers and the Decepticons, and that's when my attention began to wander, and the movie lost a potential fourth star. - 75
New York Daily News
A classic Michael Bay mega-movie. Interested in plot and character development? Move along. You're blocking the view. - 70
The New Yorker
In previous movies, Michael Bay dabbled wearily in Homo sapiens. At last he has summoned the courage to admit that he has an exclusive crush on machines, and I congratulate him on creating, in Transformers, his first truly honest work of art. - 63
Boston Globe
Partly impressive, partly inane buck-banging toy of a movie.
