Transformers reviews have been mixed since its release in Summer 2007. The worst reviews mention the film's lack of coherence and poor character development. The best claim the film accomplished its goal: a mindless, fun summer movie that facilitated its product placement objectives.

Transformers Reviews
- Variety: Review: Transformers (June 22, 2007)
- "Transformers is the apotheosis of product placement, using tried-and-true formulas in the story department as a showcase for the toys."
- Cinematical: DVD Review: Transformers (October 16, 2007)
- "If you could look up "Summer Popcorn Fluff" in the dictionary, that picture of Megan Fox would rest alongside the definition; a definition that would simply read: 'See: Michael Bay.'"
- Slate Magazine: Transformers, reviewed (July 2, 2007)
- "You know the way a grade-schooler, attempting to recap the plot of a recently seen movie, will backtrack, repeat himself, get lost in trivia, then skip forward to the final fight scene, all the while sputtering adorably about how cool the monster was? The story line of Transformers proceeds something like that."
- KidReviewer.com: Transformers (August 20, 2007)
- "Transformers has fantastic camera work and special effects. My favorite of the movie was just watching the robots transform...(but) the robots smashed around so much debris it was hard to tell the rumble from the robots."
- Time Out London: Transformers Movie Review (July 2007)
- ...it's also about as nimble as a 30-foot behemoth with fried navigation circuits, lunging and lumbering from misfiring comic set-piece to messy pitched battle, landing the occasional bullseye along the way."
- CNN: Review: Dim Transformers thuds with action (July 4, 2007)
- " A blockbuster for 8-year-olds -- and, I guess, those older boys who never grew up -- "Transformers" will buzz its youthful demographic (the effects are incredible) but leave the rest of us wondering if Hollywood could possibly aim lower."
- Twitch: Transformers Review (June 28, 2007)
- "It is almost unthinkable that anyone could make a boring movie of Transformers. But that's just what Bay has done."
- CHUD.com: Review: Transformers (July 2, 2007)
- "...while it never fully comes together as the ass-kicking, brain-annihilating joy we wanted, it does manage to stand head and shoulders over the rest of the stunted crop of Summer 07."
- New York Times: Car Wars With Shape-Shifters 'R' Us (July 2, 2007)
- "The result is part car commercial, part military recruitment ad, a bumper-to-bumper pileup of big cars, big guns and, as befits its recently weaned target demographic, big breasts."
- Times Online: Transformers Review (July 26, 2007)
- "Films directed by Michael Bay are usually like being shouted at by a halfwit for two and a half hours, and Transformers is no exception."
- New York Observer: Bay Bombs Again (July 10, 2007)
- "With Transformers, director Michael Bay has once again claimed the year's top honors for loud, stupid filmmaking."
- Variety: Review: Transformers (June 22, 2007)
