“..too long, too dumb and too loud, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is at least an improvement on its immediate predecessor..”
by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic]
“..the story is one big "God in the Machine" tale, heroic but hapless humans wait for robot rescue..”
by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel]
“..the franchise remains as much an endurance test as a movie, but at least a better Bay has delivered a leaner, meaner, cleaner 3-D rage against the machines..”
by Betsy Sharkey [LA Times]
“..rilliantly cut trailer makes it look like this might be the first entry into the series to tell a compelling story, but that hope is dispelled fairly early in the proceedings..”
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews]
“..provides his usual Bayisms: bloated close-ups, manly slo-mo, visual hyperbole and glamour shots of a hot babe standing amid the wreckage..”
by Amy Biancolli [Houston Chronicle]
“..one can argue that summer is built for spectacle. Now if only it could be truly spectacular, too..”
by Lisa Kennedy [Denver Post]
“..o confusingly frenetic that it looks like it was edited by a 5-year-old after consuming three bowls of LSD-laced Cap'n Crunch..”
by Lou Lumenick [New York Post]
“..more action sequences, locations, actors, historical events, machines, effects, monosyllables, weapons, and American-flag close-ups the movie shoves in its mouth and ours, the less we're able to taste..”
by Wesley Morris [Boston Globe]
“..might as well have been written by a machine, given its tin-eared comedy and noisy soullessness..”
by Claudia Puig [USA Today]
“..is about 45 minutes too long, and that's the dull middle section before everybody starts wrecking Chicago in a reprise of The Blues Brothers..”
by Peter Howell [Toronto Star]
“..high on any list of the worst blockbusters ever..”
by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone]

“..hardly a fleet production, but here Bay makes his best, most flexible use yet of all the flamboyant bigness at his command..”
“..hardly a fleet production, but here Bay makes his best, most flexible use yet of all the flamboyant bigness at his command..”
by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly]
“..Bay misses every opportunity to make something interesting out of his characters; instead, he's content to spend his enormous budget on grinding destruction so generic and visually convoluted, it's often hard to tell who we're supposed to be rooting for..”
by Elizabeth Weitzman [NY Daily News]
“..as bad as the action sequences are, Bay fails spectacularly when he goes for pathos..”
by Tirdad Derakhshani [Philadelphia Inquirer]
