Washington Post Jane 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 >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
Delgo demonstrates how hard it is to create a memorable, credible-looking piece of animated entertainment.
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 New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
Too leaden for adults and too baffling for kids.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
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 Post Kyle 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 >Village Voice Luke Y. Thompson
You'll just wonder why this isn't a video game you can actually play.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Mark 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 >Entertainment Weekly Adam Markovitz
Too grim for kids and too dumb for grown-ups.
