Despite its manifest improvements, there is something so sour and unpleasant about the new film that it left me almost nostalgic for the innocent idiocies of its predecessor.
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

At 157 minutes, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" isn't just a movie. It's a sentence.
John Anderson, Wall Street Journal

For good or ill, Bay is the soul of a new machine, the poet of post-human cinema, the CEO of Hollywood's military-entertainment complex.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
Rotten
Marveling at its grotesque gigantism doesn't make this two-and-a-half-hour-long movie any less dull.
Dana Stevens, Slate
