Time Out London - Tom Huddleston
This hugely entertaining oddity could never be mistaken for the work of any other filmmaker.

The Playlist - Drew Taylor
Between the charming Copley performance, the ingenious visuals, the absolutely incredible all-electronic Hans Zimmer score (seriously, this is one of his best ever), and the propulsive narrative thrust (Blomkamp is rarely singled out for how swiftly he moves things along, plot holes be damned), there is a lot to appreciate and even love about Chappie.
60
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
Chappie is a broad, brash picture, which does not allow itself to get bogged down in arguing about whether or not “artificial intelligence” is possible. It has subversive energy and fun.
60
The Telegraph - Robbie Collin
It’s a brawny, inventive action romp that’s as happy firing rockets at helicopters as it is contemplating the Cartesian model of mind-body dualism, which gives it a satisfying, sweet-and-sour tang of its own.

IndieWire - Unnamed
While it has a few appealing qualities, as a whole it amounts to a well-intentioned bag of missed opportunities.
