Roger Ebert says: 3/4 stars

He said that it would have been 4 stars, except for his one complaint that it had too much action at the end!

Best line in the review: "I think that's the first time I've used exclamation points. But Megatron is a three-exclamation-point kinda robot."


His review is here.

Ebert's probably the one person whom I - nine times out of ten - agree with; just about all of his reviews synch up with my opinions about films. What he's saying about the movie (which he's already seen) sound about like my opinions from reading the script, way back when it got released.

Yay Roger Ebert!

USA Today gave it a good review too:

I'm seeing it tonight in a theater that had to open up a second showing at 8:00 because the first one sold out. Can't wait!!!!

Roger Ebert is a well renown film critic. His judgments are followed by many others. So this is very good news for Transformers.

He's always been a reliable defender of a) good science fiction/fantasy and b) movies that are simply fun and enjoyable, rather than being artsy or culturally significant.

Also, he's slowly recovering from surgery, and only reviewing a few movies at a time; he passed up every other blockbuster these past weeks to review this one, and favorably, to boot.

He's one of us.

So Ebert's review counts for like 20 on the tomato meter, right?

As for me, there's Devin.

Transformers is probably the Rosetta Stone of Bay’s career. All of his favorite elements are here – military fetishism, vehicular fetishism, hot young chick fetishism, explosion fetishism, sweaty machismo and a brutal disregard for an interesting story. At the same time the film (at least the first half) bears the fingerprints of producer Steven Spielberg, as it deals with a nerdy young boy in suburbia whose life is changed with the introduction of a friendly, protective and yet completely and constantly vulnerable alien. For the first time a Michael Bay movie has something that resembles an emotional center that isn’t profoundly homoerotic.

I just wish I'd copied and kept all those "Heh, this movie is going to tank so hard and the critics will slaughter it" posts from the official movie forum last year.

Being called an 'idiot' by a fool sort of cancels things out I reckon..
