Reviews

New Times (L.A.) -
The beasts are employed to splendid metaphorical effect, which may be lost on viewers perceiving nothing but an action romp.

L.A. Weekly -
Bowman and production designer Wolf Kroeger do an excellent job of evoking a twice-baked England, while writers Gregg Chabot, Kevin Peterka and Matt Greenberg keep the script devilishly pitched just shy of preposterous (it's McConaughey who stumbles beyond).

Boston Globe -
This is quite enjoyable as creature features go, and Bale continues to demonstrate his curious under-the-radar appeal. As for McConaughey, let's just say a star is reborn. Suddenly that whole naked-bongo-playing incident makes a lot more sense.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
A collision of medieval fantasy and commando action movie, where you can almost believe in the high-concept mix-and-matching.

Miami Herald -
Stops dead the second the monsters fall out of view. It doesn't help that the movie's post-apocalyptic future is of the unimaginative backlot variety, or that the movie takes itself so seriously.
