Sorted by:
Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

2 1/2 hours of tumescence disguised as a motion picture.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

A horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

The reductio ad absurdum of a summer blockbuster. It is loud (boom!), long (two and a half hours!), incoherent (poorly explained intergalactic warfare!), leering (Megan Fox in short shorts!), racist (jive-talkin' robot twins!), and rife with product tie-ins (Chevy! Hasbro!).Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Ray BennettAdd Critic to Favorites

With its intelligence at the level of the simple-minded, however, the film is not likely to attract moviegoers who seek something more than a screen filled with kaleidoscopes of colored metal.
