Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
At least the special effects in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen are remarkable: You never tire of the endless variations of robots Bay and his computer-generated effects crew come up with.

A super-sized second helping, but the novelty factor and some of the charm’s gone. Hey, at least there's more Megatron / Starscream squabbling this time round.

Little seems new compared to the first installment, except that this version is longer, louder, and perhaps "more than your eye can meet" in one sitting.

Hey, Michael: It's the robots, stupid. Despite all the mechanical mayhem, none of the Transformers stand out.

The Hollywood Reporter Ray Bennett
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. Fan boys will no doubt love it, but for the uninitiated it's loud, tedious and, at 147 minutes, way too long.

ReelViews James Berardinelli
The storyline is so infantile that it will appeal to young kids.

USA Today Claudia Puig
This sequel to the clever and funny first "Transformers" not only is disappointing, it will give most people a throbbing case of metal overload.

Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
Fox's cleavage is the only camera object that catches Bay's attention for more than a millisecond.

New York Post Lou Lumenick
Dazzles the eye, numbs the mind and may cause deafness in some cases. Did I mention to bring along some Excedrin?

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
A horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments.
