Though it opens well, the film morphs from lovable buddy picture into an earnest but icky action-adventure
by Bruce Westbrook [Houston Chronicle ]
-
Terry Gilliam's flawed yet enthralling, visually spectacular fairy-tale fantasia
by James Verniere [Boston Herald ]
-
suffers from an overabundance of elaborate, furiously staged action scenes
by Mel Valentin [Movie-Vault ]
-
overplotted, overacted, and over-art-directed, with mossy sets and wonky digital effects crowding the frame.
by Ty Burr [Boston Globe ]
-
just a lot of empty razzle-dazzle
by Tim Knight [Reel ]

by Ed Blank [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ]

feels like an overbearing, interminable nightmare.
by Robert Denerstein [Denver Rocky Mountain News ]

by Sara M. Fetters [MovieFreak ]

emerges as a folkloric adventure that intermittently entertains.
by Kirk Honeycutt [The Hollywood Reporter ]

contains a good amount of humor and action with strong actors in the roles on screen.
by Paul Maniaci [The Cinema Source ]

cheap and ineffective, slightly entertaining but not nearly enough to be worth the time.
by James Brundage [Filmcritic ]
-
certainly Gilliam's most mainstream and entertaining film to date.
by Edward Douglas [Comingsoon ]

a mildly humourous, mildly entertaining flick
by Brendan Cullin [Empire Movies ]
-
a messy fairy tale riff that overcompensates for a less-than-enchanting story with frenetic busyness.
by Chris Vognar [The Dallas Morning News ]
-
a late-summer surprise, a movie as enjoyable as it is clever, and the most family-friendly film Terry Gilliam has made since "Time Bandits."
by Terry Lawson [Detroit Free Press ]
-
a great idea done badly
by John Hayes [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ]
-
a flat and tired fairy tale
by Shawn Dwyer [Hollywood ]

a film with a grand scale that nonetheless feels watered down and uncharacteristically predictable.
