Movie Reviews

  • Though it opens well, the film morphs from lovable buddy picture into an earnest but icky action-adventure
    2 of 4 by Bruce Westbrook [Houston Chronicle ]
  • Terry Gilliam's flawed yet enthralling, visually spectacular fairy-tale fantasia
    3.5 of 4 by James Verniere [Boston Herald ]
  • suffers from an overabundance of elaborate, furiously staged action scenes
    7 of 10 by Mel Valentin [Movie-Vault ]
  • overplotted, overacted, and over-art-directed, with mossy sets and wonky digital effects crowding the frame.
    2.5 of 4 by Ty Burr [Boston Globe ]
  • just a lot of empty razzle-dazzle
    2.5 of 4 by Tim Knight [Reel ]
  • is clearly not for children, yet it doesn't seem to offer much to teens or adults
    1.5 of 4 by Ed Blank [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ]
  • feels like an overbearing, interminable nightmare.
    2.5 of 5 by Robert Denerstein [Denver Rocky Mountain News ]
  • entirely unique and made with the vivid imagination only a master filmmaker can muster.
    2.5 of 4 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.
    4.5 of 5 by Paul Maniaci [The Cinema Source ]
  • cheap and ineffective, slightly entertaining but not nearly enough to be worth the time.
    1.5 of 5 by James Brundage [Filmcritic ]
  • certainly Gilliam's most mainstream and entertaining film to date.
    8 of 10 by Edward Douglas [Comingsoon ]
  • a mildly humourous, mildly entertaining flick
    6.5 of 10 by Brendan Cullin [Empire Movies ]
  • a messy fairy tale riff that overcompensates for a less-than-enchanting story with frenetic busyness.
    2.5 of 5 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."
    3 of 4 by Terry Lawson [Detroit Free Press ]
  • a great idea done badly
    2.5 of 4 by John Hayes [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ]
  • a flat and tired fairy tale
    2 of 4 by Shawn Dwyer [Hollywood ]
  • a film with a grand scale that nonetheless feels watered down and uncharacteristically predictable.
