Critic Reviews

  • Pat Graham, Chicago Reader

    It's George Miller's masterpiece, maybe even the best commercial film of 1998.

  • Rob Humanick, Slant Magazine

  • Nell Minow, Common Sense Media

    Darker than the original, not for very young kids.

  • Jeffrey Overstreet, Looking Closer

    This is the stuff of Dickens, told on the scale of Blade Runner and Brazil, with the madcap spirit of The Great Muppet Caper.
