    Well, I couldn't not watch the greatest box-office flop of all time. Ever heard of Delgo? Probably not, it came, it went and that was all. Delgo tells the story of two waring races and how tensions rise when the Princess of one side goes missing. It's a typical fantasy plot. The ...( read more)animation is nowhere near the quality you'd expect from 6-8 years of work on this. However, the designs are rather impressive in places, and a beautiful and original world, that we could vanish into could have been created. It's not as terrible as you might expect. The tension between the two tribes is fairly well built on and the adult themes of immigration and societies view of it, are quite well handled, for a kids film. Kilmer's aggressive, gambling, but ultimately good character, also gives some sense that the adults were being catered for at one stage. This film is garnering more attention now, due to the similarities it shares with the Avatar trailer, but something tells me that isn't going to fail as spectacularly.

    not too bad but not very interesting reminded me alot of Lord of the rings and star wars from some of the ideas but the magic was missing was just kinda interesting. Hollywood needs to realize that just because they have a star studded animated movie, doesnt mean its gonna be goo...( read more)d esp if the actors aren't all that good to begin with like Freddie Prince and Jennifer Love Hewitt

    An OK, cartoon movie. Has a star wars and a video game feel to it to me with the odd critters in the movie. Over all a pretty decent movie. I give it 3 stars...***

    I wasn't sure about this movie at first but after 15 minutes into it I became hooked. The movie is really well done and the story isn't bad.

    I want to see this even though it got horrible reviews. Just want to judge the movie for myself

    With this film it is a simple story about waring nations and a Romeo and Juliet romance. There are complex turns that may be beyond the understanding of young children. The animation is phenominal.

Critic Reviews


December 12, 2008
Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine

Indifferently produced with on-the-cheap CGI animation, Delgo has gathered a B-name voice cast that competently moves the story along but doesn't distinguish it in any way. full review

December 12, 2008
Claudia Puig, USA Today

The story is tedious, noisy and banal. It is also rather dark and convoluted for children, though it does have the familiar bombast of a video game. full review

December 12, 2008
Kyle Smith, New York Post

A few magic rocks and tepid battle scenes do little to inspire interest in the goings-on as Malcolm McDowell and Eric Idle spout villainy and punch lines, respectively. full review
