	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer Variety	"With machines that are impressively more lifelike, and characters that are more and more like machines, 'Transformers 2' takes the franchise to a vastly superior level of artificial intelligence."	POS
United States	Ray Bennett The Hollywood Reporter	"A nonstop whirl of flying, battling and crashing machinery. (...) Fan boys will no doubt love it, but for the uninitiated it's loud, tedious and, at 147 minutes, way too long."	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)."	NEG
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Cretinous 'Transformers 2' (...) Despite the tediousness of his stories and inanity of his visual ideas, he [Bay] always manages to keep you laughing and shaking your head in disbelief at the outlandishness of his cinematic spectacles,"	NEG
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"Fast, deafening, and dumb, the movie is total nonsense and will make a fortune. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"Revenge" is in-your-face, ear-splitting and unrelenting. It's easy to walk away feeling like you've spent 2 ½ hours in the mad, wild hydraulic embrace of a car compactor -- exhilarating or excruciating, depending on your point of view."	NEG
Australia	Louise Keller Urbancinefile	"This sequel certainly looks amazing with an onslaught of explosive visual effects, a grandiose plot, exotic locations, a generous dose of humour, (...) A giant frenetic spectacle that worships excess."	POS
