This Cartoon Network feature-length animation manages to teach kids some good lessons and amuse the grown-ups without overdosing on pop-culture references.
The slam-bang superheroics are kinetic enough to engross even the most antsy youngsters.
Even with its flaws, The Powerpuff Girls Movie offers cleverness and charm that are hard to come by in the summertime multiplex.
This is one freaky and annoying little film.
For the first two-thirds of this sparklingly inventive and artful, always fast and furious tale, kids will go happily along for the ride.
The X potion gives the quickly named Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup supernatural powers that include extraordinary strength and laser-beam eyes, which unfortunately don't enable them to discern flimsy screenplays.
Funny, exciting, and involving.
The animation is refreshingly retro minimalist and saturated with pastels (including the colored vapor trails of the little heroines), and the action is nonstop.
More fun than any cartoon has a right to be.
Utilising the cheapest-looking animation ever to grace a cinema screen, this Cartoon Network spin-off will only appeal to a fraction of pre-teen girls.
Stretched beyond its usual episode length, the Girls' adventure doesn't pack the nifty punch they're famous for.
[It] may be formulaic but never fails to find other ways to entertain.
Funny, light-hearted, with something for all ages.
The movie is just not fun enough.
Although this film is only 1 1/2 hours long, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with high blood pressure, epilepsy, or any type of stress disorder.
A movie so entertaining that you'll think you're a kid again.
This is one of those features that, unless you are hooked on the cartoon channel, or have children hooked on the cartoon channel, might just pass you by.
It is not boring, and looks fantastic, and maintains the wit and spirit of the original.
How can anyone resist a cartoon in which the arch enemy of three crime-fighting schoolkids is a monkey called Mojo Jojo?
There's nothing particularly clever or interesting here, no plot element that requires stretching a 20-minute cartoon to 87 minutes on the screen.
Sure, there's plenty of wacky energy, but if you look even a little closely there's nothing else at all.
Almost as much fun for grown-ups as it undoubtedly will be for kids.
