Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

Partly impressive, partly inane buck-banging toy of a movie.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

Everything comes down to an epic battle between the Transformers and the Decepticons, and that's when my attention began to wander, and the movie lost a potential fourth star.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Louder, flashier, and more hollow than anything else out there.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter HartlaubAdd Critic to Favorites

Even more ridiculous than it sounds.Read the full review

A movie of epically assaultive noise and nonsense.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Tasha RobinsonAdd Critic to Favorites

Turns the franchise into a terrible '80s comedy.Read the full review
