Critic Reviews

  • Brian Lowry, Variety

    Even kids won't get much of a kick out of this high-energy, low-IQ futuristic slugfest.

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    An incoherent children's adventure based on a popular video game.

  • Rita Kempley, Washington Post

    While clumsily paced by first-time director Jim Yukich and amateurishly acted, the picture does take place against the imaginative backdrop of New Angeles, the urban archipelago formed when the Big One crumpled Southern California.

    A surprisingly timid and largely toothless action fantasy for kids.

  • Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

    How hard would it be to come up with a story at least as good as that of the original Nintendo game? Impossible, apparently.

  • Gavin C


    I mean, if you think Street Fighter was bad, at least it had Raul Julia's greatest performance as the villain and some great action sequences, but after learning what the Nostalgia Critic himself has taught me about this film, I now agree with him. But before we can go to the… More

    Is it possible that a video game, can dump the game part, and possible become a good movie as a whole, and not a part? Well, I am afraid not, cause this is haldf-crap, half-bull. It tried, but not hard enough.
