Critic Reviews

Premiere Glenn Kenny

It's goofy as hell but devilishly smart about it, which is why it's such great fun. Read full review

Aaron Hillis

The creator of such wicked bloodbaths as "Audition" and "Ichi the Killer" had it in him to craft a nearly family-friendly flick. No doubt, this kitschy CGI-action spoof is still deliciously insane. Read full review

Frank Scheck

A family-friendly fantasy that finds the director working in an uncharacteristically gentle mood. Read full review

Deborah Young

The special effects are quality fun, the humor only a little Japanese, and the story boasts the offbeat genre twists Miike lovers clamber for. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Driven less by civic duty than by the need to escape his dreary life, Zebraman is a tragic, touching figure too often obscured by Kankurou Kudo’s hyperactive screenplay and a special-effects team drunk on alien slime. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

It pains me to report that his Zebraman is a disappointment. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Goofy, raunchy and very Japanese, Miike's film will probably play best to fanboys who love "Power Rangers" and "Ultraman" -- and there are plenty of them to go around. Read full review

This movie is goofy, wonderful and unpredictable. I enjoyed it hugely.
