Critic Reviews

Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
A splendid adventure sure to thrill children and fantasy buffs, while leaving everyone else passably entertained.

Adam Graham, Detroit News
The film's look can't overcome all its shortcomings, but it helps them go down easier than its title.

James Rocchi, MSN Movies
Snyder and his crew have made a film for an improbably narrow audience -- I can imagine 12 1/2-year-old boys being enthralled by it -- but they've made it with such skill and care it's more a shame than a failure.

Andy Webster, New York Times
May be a hoot, but for all its pyrotechnics, it fails to soar.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
The script is merely serviceable and too reminiscent of similar fantasy tales. But kids will instantly relate to the gentle Soren, while watching wide-eyed as he faces each challenge.
