  Shit blows up.
  Shit transforms.
  Shit gets messy.
  And everyone is sweating.

  Review by Josh Lewis ★★★ 3

  In which Bay hijacks a ludicrously expensive, mediocre toy commercial with a solid family blockbuster base by Spielberg and instead teaches millions of 10-year-olds the visual vocabulary of violent, racist military action movies. Still so funny to me that this was literally only conceived because Hasbro felt GI joe would be considered too controversial with the Iraq war under way and then greenlit Bay turning their children's space robots movie into one of the most jingoistic disaster movies of the Bush era. What's even funnier is that it's one of the better ones, operating on a level of visual sophistication only matched by how monumentally stupid it is. In other words: a perfect merging of material and maker. The soundtrack includes Linkin Park, Goo Goo Dolls, The Used, Smashing Pumpkins, Taking Back Sunday and Disturbed. We have to go back.

  It's odd to return to the (relative) simplicity of Transformers after The Last Knight, which was so bursting at the seams that it inadvertently caused Bumblebee to exist. In comparing the 2007 film to even the first couple sequels, this is a mild Michael Bay scrambling of a Spielbergian concept. It's still batshit crazy - from the post-9/11 distrust of the Iraq War, the Decepticons stealing American secrets, the hilarious 'ding-dong' portrayal of George W. Bush with his red socks - but rooted in a calmer structure, a less toxic overview, and more traditional set-pieces. Of course, you can't tame Michael Bay, so the military tech fetishes, racist/sexist caricatures, and often hypnotic transformers interlocking, exploding, collapsing mid-battle find their…

  Sam Witwicky: "Fifty years from now, when you're looking back at your life, don't you want to be able to say you had the guts to get in the car?”

  SYNOPSIS: An ancient struggle between two Cybertronian races, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, comes to Earth, with a clue to the ultimate power held by a teenager.

  I was not a Transformers kid when I grew up in the late 80's - early 90's and I think that's why I wasn't so hard on Michael Bay's film when I caught it…

  2007 was my 1977. This movie was my Star Wars.

  Review by Wade ★★★½ 5

  This was intensely every middle school boy’s wet dream back in the day. Explosions, cars, megan fox, delinquent toilet humor, army testosterone, linkin park, slow-mo, badass robots and megan fox—oh wait srry what was we talking about?

  Review by Jake Cole ★½ 2

  On the one hand, it is functionally insane that a movie based on toys contains so many bizarre racial and sexual jokes. On the other, they simply had to be here in this, the ultimate pairing of subject and artist. It's altogether fitting that Bay and his writers should refashion toys into the ultimate War on Terror era franchise, one that came out at the tail end of the Bush admin and thus embodies both the feverish militarism of the decade and the growing resentment of the American public to its own mess. Thus you get baffling contradictions like civilian programmer nerds instinctively standing respectfully for the Secretary of Defense and absolutely no end to the love-in for the Troops,…
