Pros: Fast-paced, great action, cool effects
Cons: None!

WOW is what I thought when watching this movie. The effects were amazing and the movie didn't drag, as many tend to do nowadays. It was non-stop action from beginning to end and a must to see on the big screen to get the full effect of this summer blockbuster.

Pros: Incredible effects; worth the hype.
Cons: Story could have been better.

Anyone that has grown up with Transformers will love this movie. The transformations are amazing and so fast you wish you could pause the cinematic effects with a DVD player. Interaction with the surrounding environment is very convincing. Now, the story does get a little thin in places, and much like Star Wars relies on eye candy to cover a thin plot line. I personally had a great time watching this and my son and significant other were cheering mightily for Bumblebee and Optimus Prime.

Pros: Big, loud, and action packed.
Cons: There's a hint of romantic subplot that doesn't get developed

I must admit, I barely remember seeing the Transformers cartoons going up. I knew about Transformers and some of the toys, but by no means have I ever been a massive Transformers fan. However, this movie has looking for a DVD set of the cartoon.

It seems everything about this movie is executed well, if not perfectly. The storyline is well written and didn't leave anyone wondering, "how did we get here?" The directing was also nicely executed. The shots were always the right length to make the movie move at the right speed.

Perhaps my only issue was that it seemed like the Decepticons always had the upper hand. Perhaps that was the way it's always been, I mean they did supposedly destroy everything that was against them while of Cybertron.

The overall experience of the was fantastic. Everything was big and loud much like you would expect a forty foot tall robot to be.

Pros: Awesome cast. No Matrix of Leadership and no Hot Rod. w00t!
Cons: It was hard to tell the Decepticon voices apart. The Starscream and Megatron dynamic sucked.

I almost cried a little watching this movie. It took me back to the original Transformers movie where writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman lift some story and dialog directly from.

The story centers on earth and two groups of robot organisms, Autobots and Decepticons, looking for an ancient artifact that will rebuild the Cybertron empire. The plot is very simple and the themes of the film are woven throughout: freedom.

Excellent computer animation throughout the movie.

Definitely look forward to a Transformers 2.

Pros: Faithfulness to the spirit of the original series
Cons: Not enough gratuitous skin shots of Megan Fox

If you were a kid in the 80's who begged your mom for Optimus Prime in his huge shiny box every time you were in Toys R Us or Gemco, this movie will give you everything you could possibly ask for in a live action adaptation. Obviously it's not "the same" as the original cartoon, but if you actually go back and watch some of those old episodes as an adult you'll be thankful that the writers smartened up the characters and dialogue.

Shia LeBoeuf is a great protagonist, and Megan Fox was well cast as "hottest girl in the universe", given that this movie was rightfully targeted at 14 - 30 year old males.

Pros: Continuous action from the beginning, amazing graphics, thrilling
Cons: None.

As a Transformers fan, I thought it was awesome. The characters were not highly developed, but they were for people who already knew them.

I had high expectations walking into the theatre, and this movie exceeded my expectations.

Everyone in the theatre clapped and cheered for this film. I wanted to see it again immediately after it was over.

Pros: An attractive actress, and it is a decent teenager movie.
Cons: Bad script, bad acting, bad plot.

This live action adaptation isn't worth the film it is recorded on. The plot is weak, the acting is horrible, the action is only passably decent. I know that they say an infinite amount of monkeys, writing on an infinite amount of typewriters, for an infinite amount of time will eventually reproduce the greatest works of Shakespeare. After watching this movie, I realized that they must have borrowed one monkey from the zoo, gave him a green crayon, and let him write for 20 minutes to create this script. I guess that if you have kids who aren't interested in good films, and just enjoy watching things go boom and seeing CGI action, it wouldn't be too bad for them. However, for anyone with half of a brain and any taste what so ever, this movie is truly disappointing. With absolutely nothing to redeem itself with, I give this movie a 0 out of 10. It goes down in my book as one of the few movies I've ever walked out on before the ending.

Pros: action-robots-pace-acting-directing-fx
Cons: the female who plays the girlfriend...didn't like her so much till the end.

People who say this film is slow getting going must be the same people who go to NASCAR races just for the crashes.
I was into this movie from the start, and I was NOT a fan of the cartoon. It has a good pace. Acting is not over the top. The robots are FANTASTIC!
Not much of a draw for females. I didn't say ALL.

Pros: Great visual effects, sound, and music.
Cons: No song and dance number good enough for Broadway, HaHa.

I am a 51 year old male who for the first time in a long time plans to go see this movie for a second time. I saw the Transformers Cartoon with my son when he was young so I figured I would give this movie a try. Both my wife and I had a great time watching this movie. From the intense side of the movie to the softer side all I can say is WOW! I am a huge fan of Sci-Fi and give this a 5 of 5 stars. Only a critic who likes musicals would give this movie anything but a good rating!

Pros: Sounds,effects,graphics,surroundings,environment you name it! everything is detailed! Cool cars too!
Cons: The final battle is not quite satisfying,fewer decepticons, other autobots also not included

Transformers the movie sure is one of the best movie i have ever watch! with stunning effects and graphics.. nothing can beat this movie..for me.. transformer fanatic should have this, not only because the movie is so brilliant, it has also a great story outline.. starting to the beginning of the war, so even its you're first time watching a transformer movie ill make sure of it ! you will understand the full concept of the story..too bad? only few decepticons were in the movie, but the action is really fantastic.. you wont even want to blink, fully detailed from cars to robots! the making of this movie sure is a masterpiece no wonder it became a box office hit, maybe the only thing i don't want from this movie is? its not enough.. its just too short for a very great movie.. well the other thing is I'm expecting the destructicons to combine but it didn't happened haha!! maybe in the next installment..heard that transformers the movie 2 will be ou on 2010..so u better grab the 1st movie of it or else? u wont get the picture of the next box office hit..

Pros: Great action and effects
Cons: left it a little to wide open at the end

The best movie I have ever seen, it captures the childhood feeling of the cartoon but amps it up since the people who grew up on that cartoon are in their 20's and 30's now

Pros: All together a good movie.
Cons: Not really any cons.

When I first saw the commercials for Transformers. I thought Oh Great another stupid robot movie. But much to my suprise it was actually really good. I was very shocked.

Pros: Good action Suspenseful Great acting Lots of explosions
Cons: Too long

This was a really exciting movie. It was a great adaptation of the cartoon of the same name. It even had the same actor who did the original voice of Optimus Prime.

Pros: great charecteristics
Cons: end scaene a bit to long

transformers has come a long way from a popular kid show

i liked the way charecters were brought back to life and it had a more to do with humans than what i thoght.i was on the edge of my seat for most of the movie

i loved the never ending war beetween the autobots and the decipticons the ending sceane was a bit to long but it was all worth it to see a classic show down between optimas prime and megatron

i personly thought it needed it bit more funny bits but i really hope there will be a sequel
