Quick Links Transformers One Has the Best Rating After Bumblebee How the Other Transformers Movies Have Been Received

Transformers One is the newest movie in the cinematic Transformers franchise, and it also might be one of the best. Now releasing in theaters, the film is the first theatrical animated movie in the series in the US since 1986's The Transformers: The Movie. It also boasts several excellent reviews that make it a ratings rival to a previous entry in the series.

Scoring high marks among critics on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, the newest Transformers movie is rolling out far beyond what most of the rest of the franchise has achieved. This is a breath of fresh air for a series that had at one point been a critical running joke. It also bodes well for the animated subseries, which could become the future of the robots in disguise on the big screen.

On July 12, 2023, “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” was released by Paramount Pictures, holding fresh at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics consensus that reads, “With world-threatening stakes and epic set pieces to match that massive title, ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ proves this is still a franchise you should choose to accept.”

Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt, an Imf agent whose team must track down a dangerous weapon before it falls into the wrong hands.
