(1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 15% Rotten Page   1   "Impressive animation, but too much déjà vu here."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B- "Ending with a sputter, "Wild" still remains an engaging creation, and successful against incredible odds. Here's a note to Disney and Dreamworks: You can stop making the same movies now."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf B+ "Obvious plot similarities to Dreamworks animated kid's movie "Madagascar" haunts this superior Disney produced CG animated story about a group of New York Zoo animals that go for an unexpected boat trip to an African jungle."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Sam decides to find out where the truck is headed, threatening a pigeon, the jittery and heavily accented Hamir: "Just tell me where the green boxes go!" he hisses, sounding just like Jack Bauer."   Common Sense   Cynthia Fuchs 2/5 "There's a surprising lack of charm that even Disney's dopier recent works managed to achieve."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2/4 "...has little to offer viewers over a certain age."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "Pleasant enough for the little ones, but unrewarding for the rest of the prospective audience."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D "Feels like a rough draft that was dashed off in an afternoon with the intention of coming back later and filling in some comedy, and then somehow never got around to it."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C- "Despite the title, it's resolutely tame...not only did 'Madagascar' get there first, it carried it off a whole lot better."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/5 "Much of it is so rote and so predictably crushed into the prefabricated Disney mold that it's impossible to kick off the unpleasant aroma of 'been there, done that.'"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "Disney's latest is an unoriginal mix of Finding Nemo and Madagascar, but the small children in the audience we saw it with simply didn't care . . ."   SA Movie & DVD Magazine   James O'Ehley 5/10 "Click here to read review"   Kinoblog.com   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 2/5 "The film is ultimately noise and its story is so overdone at this point that far from being swept up in it, we're only hoping that the next plot point isn't as predictable as the last. But things never do work out that way."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 5/10 "The Wild is not really bad; it's just tired."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 2/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 2.5/5 "The kids might be better off with a trip to a real zoo, if they haven't had their fill of Madagascar yet."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2.5/5 "Excelente animación. Flojísimo guión."   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 2.5/4 "Gags consistently trump character. And if you don't care about the characters, then everything's just a big, dumb joke."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Legal professors could stand [The Wild and Madagascar] side by side to demonstrate the concept of 'points of similarity' that help determine whether a work has been plagiarized."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson B- "Most important, the story, even without the been-there-with-penguins feeling, is not very strong, leaving us wishing it was all a bit more...wild. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "There's something foul about this latest animated adventure's blatant plush toy-ready construction."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "Jamais consegue recriar os momentos de magia das produções da Pixar; até mesmo seu humor soa forçado, dependendo mais de efeitos sonoros engraçadinhos do que dos personagens."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2.5/5 "Perfectly enjoyable but nothing special"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "...a film that will appeal to younger kids but fails to reach that important demographic, for all ages."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford C+ "Director Steve Spaz Williams, a former visual-effects artist, misses the exaggerated body language and visual quirks, let alone distinctive and unique features, that is animation's essential element."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 1/5 "You will not find a worse movie in Walt Disney's animated canon than The Wild"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 5/10 "There's a definite sense of deja vu about this animated adventure/fantasy that turns out to be mild, not wild."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 15% Rotten Page   1
