"A careless fumble put together without a hint of effort or interest."

"It’s as if some executive saw Mattel and Greta Gerwig turning Barbie into genuine art, so they made a George Costanza-style decision to veer in the opposite direction purely out of spite."

"Did robots make this rusty garbage?"

"Davidson's casting almost singlehandedly injects a sense of irreverent fun and surprisingly effective comedy to cut through the self-seriousness of the rest of the picture."

"No Michael Bay. No Mark Wahlberg. No oppressive bombast. Not your usual Transformers movie in other words."

"ChatGPT clearly could have a written a better movie."

"Thanks to a script that actually has sustained bursts of dialogue, the robots felt more real to me as characters than they usually do."

"It’s exactly as cookie-cutter a plot as you’d expect from a movie like this."

"Another energy-draining orgy of bombastic Bayhem."
