It gets Burton and Taylor, comfortably matched, making nonsense of theme and relationships, and giving monotonously unsubtle performances (she screeches, he glooms).
Tom Milne, Time Out
Rotten
Those things that in the earlier versions of the work had been metaphorically stylized, have been made stunningly literal in Boom!
Vincent Canby, New York Times

There are different kinds of bad movies. Some are simply wretchedly bad, like well, you know. Others are bad but fascinating and Boom! is one of these.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
This film makes it official: Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor have given up acting for entertaining. Or rather, trying to.
