4/5
"This remake is thrilling on every level. Even if it's also rather self-indulgent."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
3/5
"I wish Jackson would shake off his addiction to gigantism, his apparent need to punch everything up three times as much as it needs to be."

Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
4.5/5
"This massive flick is warm and nostalgic, dark and dangerous, sly and sweet, delicate, ferocious, and enthralling in a way that only great movies can be. Plus it's got, like, a million monsters in it."

Charlotte Weekly
Sean O'Connell
"Warning. Flashback and long personal reminiscence ahead."

"Peter Jackson's remake of the 1933 classic is a loving homage that recreates and updates many of the familiar sequences... Unfortunately, the recreation leaves one wondering what, exactly, the point of the film is, other than indulging the director..."

"One of those mad movies, like
Moulin Rouge!
or Burton's
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
, that fully justifies and deserves all the best and worst that can be said for or against them."
