3.5/4
Most importantly, this is a movie that doesn’t talk down to kids. If anything, it understands how it’s OK for them to struggle a bit to keep up. Go to Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 5 days ago
4/5

4/5
It’s in those big action scenes that Ray Gunn shines brightest. Bird combines inventive weaponry, fun character designs and exhilarating fight choreography to give us one memorable battle after another. Go to Full Review Travis Hopson Punch Drunk Critics 2 days ago
