While it hardly stands to vanquish the celluloid incarnations of Superman and Batman, this version of an older cartoon crusader's exploits does have a pleasingly astute sense of its place in the great scheme of things pulp.
Godfrey Cheshire, Variety
Rotten
This belated, albeit decorative adaptation looks tamely second-hand.
Trevor Johnston, Time Out

Expect this ghost of bad movies past to walk quickly to the back bins of Blockbuster, where it should be filed under a helpful heading, monotonous and juvenile.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It's nice to see some things done the old way.
