Reviews


67
Entertainment Weekly - Unnamed
A silly, impenetrable movie starring Sean Connery (attired in the dumbest costume ever) as a ponytailed barbarian who obeys a giant stone head.
63
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Every once in a while, a movie like that comes along; a movie you’ve got to see so that you, too, can be in the dark about it.
60
Time Out - Unnamed
The script gradually falls apart into a mess of philosophical pottage under the whimsically pretentious Tolkien influence. But visually the film remains a sparkling display of fireworks, brilliantly shot and directed.
60
Variety - Unnamed
A brilliant premise which unfortunately washes out in climactic sound and fury.
50
Village Voice - Andrew Sarris
Zardoz quickly degenerates from a voyage through a labyrinth into an ego trip round and round the inside of a goldfish bowl. [28 Feb 1974, p.62]
