Though slick and diverting in some aspects, increasingly silly pic has trouble meshing disparate elements -- horror, superhero fantasy, straight-up action -- into a workable whole.
Dennis Harvey, Variety
Rotten
There are lots of stunts, chase sequences and so much computer morphing that the effects house must have been offering it at discount.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten
Lots of exploding heads and oceans of blood, moves fast and with no discernible meaning but looks good.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
Children of the night, what disgusting movies they make.
