Washington PostJane Horwitz
The battles are boring and the jokes as flat as old 7-Up, but the film's color palette and creatures -- from teeny buzzing critters to a monster that looks like a giant dust mite -- offer a lot to see. It's just not enough to save the convoluted story. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen Cole
Delgo is blocky and hastily coloured in. Characters are stiff; there is little variety in movement. It's a cheapo product ideally suited for a Saturday-morning pyjama vigil in front of a small screen. And the film suffers from a poverty of imagination to boot. Read full review

The story is tedious, noisy and banal. It is also rather dark and convoluted for children, though it does have the familiar bombast of a video game. Read full review

New York PostKyle Smith
A few magic rocks and tepid battle scenes do little to inspire interest in the goings-on as Malcolm McDowell and Eric Idle spout villainy and punch lines, respectively. Read full review

You'll just wonder why this isn't a video game you can actually play. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMark Olsen
It says plenty about how torpid the storytelling in Delgo is that the end credits are probably the best thing in the film. Read full review

Too grim for kids and too dumb for grown-ups. Read full review
