	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It's goofy fun with a lot of stuff that blows up real good, and it has the grace not only to realize how preposterous it is, but to make that into an asset (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"If it's true that there's an 8-year-old boy inside every man, "Transformers" is just the ticket to bring the kid out. Big, loud and full of testosterone-fueled car fantasies, Michael Bay's actioner hits a new peak for CGI work"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Though he has a way with CGI toys and action set pieces, director Bay does not have a noticeable gift for making human beings come to life. Transformers' multiple earthling story lines are tedious"	NEU
United States	Wesley Morris Boston Globe	"With lifelike effects and more humanity, '80s action figures get a new look in 'Transformers' (...) [It] is a partly impressive, partly inane buck-banging toy of a movie"	NEU
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"With Transformers, director Michael Bay has once again claimed the year's top honors for loud, stupid filmmaking"	NEG
United States	Rene Rodriguez Miami Herald	"The most surprising thing about Michael Bay's much-anticipated, blockbuster-bound Transformers is how funny the movie is. I don't mean funny in an unintentional, Pearl Harbor kind of way"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Though it's at least 20 minutes too long and uneven dramatically, the acting is sharp, and it features some of the most spectacular action and effects sequences of any movie of its kind"	POS
