Top Critics Reviews

May be a hoot, but for all its pyrotechnics, it fails to soar.

rotten:
Snyder and his crew have made a film for an improbably narrow audience -- I can imagine 12 1/2-year-old boys being enthralled by it -- but they've made it with such skill and care it's more a shame than a failure.

rotten:
The film's look can't overcome all its shortcomings, but it helps them go down easier than its title.

A splendid adventure sure to thrill children and fantasy buffs, while leaving everyone else passably entertained.

fresh:
There are a handful of soaring, immersive and at times beautiful fight-and-flight sequences which utilise 3D in the best imaginable way.
