Critics' Reviews

63
ReelViews: James Berardinelli
In a summer of high-octane action and testosterone-boosted thrills, this movie is out of its league.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
The movie is based on a 1999 series of comic books by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill, but the original tone of deadpan historical audacity has been replaced by a kind of wax-museum literalness.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: A.O. Scott

Slate: David Edelstein
And you wait--and wait--for the magic of movies.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
Just when it seems about to become a real corker of an adventure movie, plunges into incomprehensible action, idiotic dialogue, inexplicable motivations, causes without effects, effects without causes, and general lunacy. What a mess.Read Full Review »
