Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    A stiff.

  • Derek Adams, Time Out

    ... the effects and sets are marvellously fantastical and there are one or two neat comical allusions to the heroes' literary roots. But where's the excitement, the thrills, the tension, the style?

  • Charles Taylor, Salon.com

    Despite Sean Connery and some impressive 19th century gloom, this big-screen translation of Alan Moore's culty comic-book series falls to earth with an incoherent splat.

  • Ed Park, Village Voice

    Even if, per Wilde, all art is quite useless, it need not be quite as useless as this.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    This film is odd, loud, unintentionally funny and quite awful.

    Not as great as the trailer shows. It's kinda cheesy.

  • Tony G


    As a fan of the graphic novel, this was a huge disappointment. Completely miscast, the writing is horrendous, the effects are terrible. A complete bomb.
