Critics Consensus

The movie will be found wanting if one is not taken in by the 3-D visuals.

It's the charisma of the child stars which carries the picture. And the infectious energy of the creator, whose frothy franchise has now run its course.

1.5/4

This featured particularly unsightly 3-D effects at the multiplex, so it’s a minor mercy to catch it in 2-D at home.

Strewn with adolescent puns and nerdish video-game humor, and the best 3D effects ever hurled at an audience (still fun even in tradition 2D), you hardly even notice that all pretense at story has been tossed off the screen with everything else.

There's a lot of hand-to-hand action, just like a video game, that gets harder as you move up a level. Also, like a video game, there is no story. You have no idea who is fighting whom. Or why.

Kinda like the cross between a chicken wing and like a free movie from McDonalds or something. Possibly the zenith of the franchise, with the exception of a close second place for the previous entry. Stallone is a weird a funny surprise, and the Elijah Wood cameo is epic. Pretty cool stuff.

It may look like it was animated by a 4 year old (or even younger) but its still a nice movie for those who are fans of video games.

This is easily the worst one of the trilogy, but it's my favorite because I watched it the most as a kid and I love the video game theme of the movie.
