  Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman

  The sequence serves no real purpose beyond dazzle for dazzle's sake, but when you're watching it, that's purpose enough.

  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.

  The man (Bay) just wears you out and wears you down, so much so that it's easy to pretend that you're not ingesting 2 hours and 30 minutes of warmongering along with all that dumb fun.

  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.
