The Transformers franchise has always been popular, especially the live-action Michael Bay films, but they have never been critical darlings. Critics and audiences have rarely agreed on the quality of the movies, with the most recent installment, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts once again demonstrating the chasm between the two groups. This year, the series has decided to mix things up with its latest entry, Transformers One, by returning to animation. Led by a star-studded cast that includes Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and many others, it’s the first film in the franchise to have both a Certified Fresh from critics (88%) and a Verified Hot rating from audiences (98%) on Rotten Tomatoes.
