Résumés(1)
Une guerre sans merci oppose depuis des temps immémoriaux deux races de robots extraterrestres : les Autobots et les cruels Decepticons. Son enjeu : la maîtrise de l'univers... Dans les premières années du 21ème siècle, le conflit s'étend à la Terre, et le jeune Sam Witwicky devient, à son insu, l'ultime espoir de l'humanité. Semblable à des milliers d'adolescents, Sam n'a connu que les soucis de son âge : le lycée, les amis, les voitures, les filles... Entraîné avec sa nouvelle copine, Mikaela, au coeur d'un mortel affrontement, il ne tardera pas à comprendre le sens de la devise de la famille Witwicky : "Sans sacrifice, point de victoire!"

Une aventure impressionnante intensifiée par le charme de Megan Fox. :)

Que personne ne me dise que ce monstre a coûté une ridicule somme de 150 millions de dollars. Ou bien est-ce que le producteur Spielberg est vraiment un extraterrestre. Les Transformers sont un blockbuster hollywoodien qui vaut la peine de payer le double du prix d'entrée... si vous savez pourquoi vous allez voir le film de Michael Bay, où des robots d'autres mondes se livrent une guerre sur Terre. À l'exception des séquences d'ouverture glacées, c'est un peu enfantin et idiot, mais du point de vue technique, en termes d'intensité d'action et de présentation au-delà de l'extrême, c'est littéralement une folie fantastique. La scène de tir sur le scorpion dans le désert (surtout le plan depuis l'intérieur de l'hélicoptère) avec le motif "Scorponok" de Jablonsky est vraiment impressionnant! Et ces yeux de prédateur de Megan Fox... omfg !!!

The Girl Next Door meets Armageddon clad in perfect audiovisual and explosively action-packed delicacies. Shia LaBeouf is the perfect non-action guy, one that any of us who have ever been a boy or a girl longing for adventure can identify with. Megan Fox was created to be a worshipped idol (who can also fix your car), Bumblebee is the best friend and the perfect car at the same time, The Autobots are a band of heroes and The Decepticons are the most villainous enemies, ones you would want to fight against right away. And Transformers is a movie that may open the eyes of many young wide-eyed boys in front of the screen, teaching them what it means to love a movie. Michael Bay has proven that even megalomania can be moderate and that escalated action that just won't stop doesn't have to be overwhelming, but simply amazing. Tons of lines, a sea of references, the setting sun, a flood of orange, heroism, honor, love, helicopters, and behind it all, a smiling Bay who has fulfilled his dream. The year 2007 will forever be the year when I wanted Bumblebee in my garage and Megan Fox somewhere nearby, but most of all, to watch Transformers over and over again.

No, no and no. I would love to give it four stars, but I can’t, these big-ass blockbusters are just not my cup of tea. The action scenes are awesome, it’d be hard to find any competition in that regard, but there are other things that I value in movies. Transformers is good stuff to unwind, but it doesn’t offer anything else. The story is predictable and the characters are clichés with an awfully American behaviour. In short, it entertained me but didn’t take my breath away, I don’t need to see it again, nor do I want to.

More than meets the eye... Or not? It’s disappointing that after the pleasant although unsuccessful The Island, Bay took a step back into soulless action fun for the masses. It doesn’t thrill me that he has fallen back into his traditional, epileptic fit provoking editing. It outright annoys me that the entire story takes place in the opening crawl... I would have been willing to forgive the creators all of the above if they could grip me. Which Transformers managed to do, but only at isolated moments, definitely not for the entire or at least part of the running time. The first part of the movie, which is carried on the shoulders of the ever more likeable LeBeouf, is outstanding, humorous and very promising. But then the whole picture goes to the dogs in the middle, from the game of hide and seek until the defrosting of Megatron. There is humor elsewhere in this movie, but it doesn’t work in the least; Shia practically disappears from the screen and the robots start playing first fiddle, led by the “philosophizing" Optimus and the wannabe funny roles filled by John Turturro and Jon Voight. Although the last third is one big, continuous action inferno, for my tastes it is just too predictable and primarily it’s over-combined. What unarguably works well is the technical side of the movie. They were evidently working overtime at ILM, Jablonsky composed a punchy and fitting soundtrack, the action is nice and comic-bookish over the top and couple of scenes like the onslaught of the Autobots had me pinned to my seat. What brings Transformers down on the big screen too is its extreme length, the lame pieces of wisdom from Optimus, lots of superfluous robots that have barely two seconds of fame and also that pesky little Decepticon. Transformers certainly don’t disappoint, especially in a well-technically equipped movie theater, but don’t expect wonders. It’s not boring, it’s entertaining, but it doesn’t leave any particular lasting impression. This is the feeblest Bay movie yet. Unfortunately.
