- 50The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe film suffers from uneven acting, an over-reliance on production values and an uncertainty over how dangerous the children's adventures should be.
- 50VarietyTodd McCarthyVarietyTodd McCarthyHandsome, respectable and well cast, elaborate production lacks the excitement and magic that would elevate the film to beloved status, and sheer abundance of CGI work weighs on it too heavily.
