Lacking the punch and good cheer of The Incredibles and Sky High, Zoom is a dull and laugh-free affair.

When it comes to action, comedy, and drama, three words apply: lamer, lamer, lamest.
In a feat of dullness quite powerful in its own way, this lifeless family comedy sucks the joy from every joke it touches; X-Men's Rogue would be envious.
Zoom is another one of those endearingly cheap, twice-annual Tim Allen movies that seem to be forever playing on airplanes. (Next up is Santa Clause 3.)
Zoom is a movie that you've probably seen several times already.
Too infantile for tweens and too stagnant for tots, Zoom bleeds boredom from every frame.
Your ability to tolerate this movie depends on how much music from the band Smashmouth you can stand.
Dull comic-book fodder for kids.
The story is muddled and slovenly, and the execution is unbelievably cheap-looking, with special effects that are miles beyond cheesy.
The problem is that the script by Adam Rifkin and David Berenbaum is lackluster, and that carries over to other aspects of the film.
[It] made me laugh. I don't know why.
The title describes the sound that you should make in your car, or on foot, or on mule, heading away from any cinema showing this film.
...a light-hearted and mindlessly engaging time-waster.
you won't miss much if you give this one a pass
Zoom is a shocking waste of a decent premise - it could have been the Galaxy Quest of superhero movies but instead it's a badly directed, poorly written and desperately unamusing mess.
Santa trapped in a chimney and choking on his own beard would be funnier than this.
... this fizzled action flick lacks the wit, style and substance of so many better efforts ...
... a copycat kids' flick that raises smiles but no laughs.
This comedy drags its feet, while the sappy sweetness will make you wince.
Ever the foolish optimist, I actually expected to enjoy Zoom.
Despite whatever connotations its title might suggest, Zoom is a movie marked by pure laziness, made by folks who either don't know or don't care what they're doing.
Want to see child superheroes? See Sky High, Spy Kids or The Incredibles. And Tim Allen is better and more curmudgeonly in the Santa Clause films
Zoom fails because it's ultimately bland, cheesy, and never really challenges its own formula seeking to make it one of a kind; it just wants to cash-in on an already exhausting fad.
This got 50+ ratings? Are you kidding me? This movie was such a crap.
