Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Taylor's delineation of the lead role is off the mark.

rotten:
It gets Burton and Taylor, comfortably matched, making nonsense of theme and relationships, and giving monotonously unsubtle performances (she screeches, he glooms).

rotten:
Those things that in the earlier versions of the work had been metaphorically stylized, have been made stunningly literal in Boom!

rotten:
There are different kinds of bad movies. Some are simply wretchedly bad, like well, you know. Others are bad but fascinating and Boom! is one of these.

rotten:
This film makes it official: Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor have given up acting for entertaining. Or rather, trying to.
