“..Though it opens well, the film morphs from lovable buddy picture into an earnest but icky action-adventure..”
by Bruce Westbrook [Houston Chronicle]
“..Terry Gilliam's flawed yet enthralling, visually spectacular fairy-tale fantasia..”
by James Verniere [Boston Herald]
“..suffers from an overabundance of elaborate, furiously staged action scenes..”
by Mel Valentin [Movie-Vault]
“..overplotted, overacted, and over-art-directed, with mossy sets and wonky digital effects crowding the frame...”
by Ty Burr [Boston Globe]
“..just a lot of empty razzle-dazzle..”
by Tim Knight [Reel]
“..is clearly not for children, yet it doesn't seem to offer much to teens or adults..”
by Ed Blank [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review]
“..feels like an overbearing, interminable nightmare...”
by Robert Denerstein [Denver Rocky Mountain News]
“..entirely unique and made with the vivid imagination only a master filmmaker can muster...”
by Sara M. Fetters [MovieFreak]
“..emerges as a folkloric adventure that intermittently entertains...”
by Kirk Honeycutt [The Hollywood Reporter]
“..contains a good amount of humor and action with strong actors in the roles on screen...”
by Paul Maniaci [The Cinema Source]
“..cheap and ineffective, slightly entertaining but not nearly enough to be worth the time...”
by James Brundage [Filmcritic]
“..certainly Gilliam's most mainstream and entertaining film to date...”
by Edward Douglas [Comingsoon]
“..a mildly humourous, mildly entertaining flick..”
by Brendan Cullin [Empire Movies]
“..a messy fairy tale riff that overcompensates for a less-than-enchanting story with frenetic busyness...”
by Chris Vognar [The Dallas Morning News]
“..a late-summer surprise, a movie as enjoyable as it is clever, and the most family-friendly film Terry Gilliam has made since "Time Bandits."..”
by Terry Lawson [Detroit Free Press]
“..a great idea done badly..”
by John Hayes [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]
“..a flat and tired fairy tale..”
by Shawn Dwyer [Hollywood]
“..a film with a grand scale that nonetheless feels watered down and uncharacteristically predictable...”
by Rob Blackwelder [SPLICEDwire]
