A splendid adventure sure to thrill children and fantasy buffs, while leaving everyone else passably entertained.
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail

The film's look can't overcome all its shortcomings, but it helps them go down easier than its title.
Adam Graham, Detroit News
Rotten
Snyder and his crew have made a film for an improbably narrow audience -- I can imagine 12 1/2-year-old boys being enthralled by it -- but they've made it with such skill and care it's more a shame than a failure.
James Rocchi, MSN Movies

May be a hoot, but for all its pyrotechnics, it fails to soar.
