Pros: semi-good action, the Transformers look cool, some funny parts
Cons: pacing, editing, NO character development, annoying characters both metallic and flesh, stupid plot, stupid dialouge

Ok, I used a really long and bizarre title but I cant articulate my dissappointment much better. Now, the movie wasn't all bad, it has some good action scenes, a cool concept and some great special effects, but beyond that I was really bummed out and ...

Pros: Like, everything!
Cons: Like, nothing!

Oh my gosh, guys, I just saw Transformers, and it was like, awesome! It was just like those Saturday morning cartoons we used to watch, only it was, like, real! Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, the whole lot, man, they were there, man, they ...

Pros: Does its best to knock us out with special effects
Cons: Brain-dead writing and acting

If nothing else, Transformers deserves an award for Most Audacious Opening Credits. They tell us that the movie is a co-production of Dreamworks and Paramount Pictures..."In Association with Hasbro." If you can think of a great movie that was ever ...

Pros: the CGI technology is of course outstanding.
Cons: the many sub-plots do not actually make one solid one

As a general rule, if a fairly successful idea takes too long to hit the screen then it's a sure sign of trouble or at least some serious doubt is in play as to the plausibility of the effort. The movies out this summer (those previewed in Bookends ...

Pros: One hot chick. Graphics.
Cons: Violates its own logic throughout.

Sometimes a movie is so horrible that I enjoy imagining the conversations that must have happened in order for things to go so miserably wrong: in this scenario Producer/Director Michael Bay is working a few things out with Producer Ian Bryce. Ian ...

Pros: Summertime blockbuster action; plenty of laughs; a sweet love story... and ROBOTS, what else?
Cons: Nothing I could think of

Two races of intergalactical robots - the Autobots and the Decepticons - have been waging a century-long war on planet Cybertron for power of the AllSpark, a cube that keeps the surviving race alive. The former is led by Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) and ...

Pros: Great graphics, lots of action.
Cons: Weak plot, inapropriate for kids.

I remember as a little kid watching "Transformers" on TV. I would get up every Saturday morning, run downstairs at least a half hour early, and solidify my thirty minute monopoly of on the tube. So when, about a year ago, I saw the previews for a long ...

Pros: Great FX and Cast.
Cons: Some segments seemed tacked on, plot is thin.

Based on the popular line of toys and animated television series from the 80's. Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay have teamed up to create a mega million FX extravaganza that will delight fans both old and new. The story involves a group of ...

Pros: Um....
Cons: script

Here's the thing that I don't get about director Michael Bay. Bay comes from the Bruckheimer film tree. His films combine the basic Bruckheimer elements into a mass market stew. You know the ingredients. Action, attractive women, roller coaster ...

Pros: Lots of action, lots of humor, jaw-dropping visual effects. Hot girl.
Cons: Some plot holes. Some too up-close camera shots during the fights.

Let's first get a few things clear when you're writing a review about a movie such as this: (1) It's based on a toy/cartoon series. (2) This is the summertime movie-going season. (3) Generally speaking, summer movies don't require Academy ...

Pros: Cast Story Effects
Cons: Music

The Summary A sixteen year old boy is saving money for his first car and, after his father teasing him by making him think he's getting him a Porsche, gets him an old Camaro. A classic among classics. Yet it seems, things are not all they seem ...

Pros: Everything
Cons: None whatsoever.

When walking into the film Transformers, directed by Michael Bay, I realized that this film was going to be either superb...Or awful. After walking out of the theater, I noticed that I was in fact...Wrong. Transformers was extravagant, ...

Pros: Outrageous effects. Excellent depiction of Prime and Bumblebee.
Cons: Often confusing action sequences. Hard to care about most of the robots.

I confess... there is no possible way for me to review this movie in any fair capacity. I can try to be objective... but my schoolboy love of the source material clouds every judgement. I grew up with Optimus Prime and his band of noble Autobots. I ...

Pros: Very good action sequences.
Cons: No cohesiveness - no character building - too much action.

I wasn’t one of the lucky ones who got to play with these as a child - they came just a little late in my childhood and so I didn’t have an interest in them. However, my daughter’s used to watch this (and as I was waiting for a working ...

Pros: Excellent CGI, storyline, acting and directing.
Cons: Felt too much like a GM commercial at some parts.

I swore to myself one day that I would never write a review on Epinions again, but every so often, a movie comes along that forces me to break my silence and come from the shadows to review it. Transformers is one such movie, I've gotten myself ...
