2.5/5
"...(W)e except a sonic summit of Olympian proportions. What we get instead are three slight biographies followed by sequences that merely suggest what such a coming together could actually achieve."  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

A
"A spectacular valentine to the gale force rush of music appreciation. Loud is contagious fun, informative and inspirational. Multiply the bliss by 1000 if you happen to be a fan of any of these men."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

7/10
"...isn't just some vanity piece for boomer rock fans...It asks how music gets made, and occasionally why."  PopMatters  Chris Barsanti

B-
""It Might Get Loud" is a compact music documentary that could serve as a great stepping off point for a cable television series, ala the Sundance channel's "Iconoclasts.""  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

2.5/4
"...an intriguing (yet entirely forgettable) documentary..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

A+
"I apologize this is more a mash note than critical analysis."  FilmJerk.com  Edward Havens

B-
"Isn't likely to snag Guggenheim another Oscar, but it's interesting enough, even for non-fanatics."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2.5/4
"Nearly two hours of yackety-yak is less expressive than one image of White's hand bleeding from the intensity of pressing his guitar strings during a mad improvisation."  Slant Magazine  Jeremiah Kipp

B
"As we get to know each of these three guitar gods, what impresses isn't what draws them together, but what separates them. As such, the central conceit of having the three meet doesn't really work..."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

A-
"It goes to 11."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

B
"...a must for the rock music fan, especially you guitarists out there."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

6/10
"For those who play the instrument, watch this film and learn something about the guitar. As for the rest%u2014listen to the CDs."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

2/4
"Listening to rock gods speak about their music isn't nearly as enjoyable as listening to them play it."  Charlotte Weekly  Sean O'Connell
