... the effects and sets are marvellously fantastical and there are one or two neat comical allusions to the heroes' literary roots. But where's the excitement, the thrills, the tension, the style?

Despite Sean Connery and some impressive 19th century gloom, this big-screen translation of Alan Moore's culty comic-book series falls to earth with an incoherent splat.

Even if, per Wilde, all art is quite useless, it need not be quite as useless as this.
Ed Park, Village Voice
Rotten
This film is odd, loud, unintentionally funny and quite awful.
