Elizabeth Weitzman

If August has turned the children in your life into Bored Girl and Fidget Boy, you could find worse ways to keep them entertained. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

Zoom suffers from following three "X-Men" movies and "Sky High," but even if it preceded them, it'd still qualify as little more than a cheap, ugly, forgettable footnote to the seemingly endless superhero boom. Read full review

Felix Vasques Jr.

"X-Men" sans the intellect and atmosphere. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Bleeds boredom from every frame. Read full review

Luke Y. Thompson

Tim Allen gamely brings some humanity to the role of the retired, powerless hero Captain Zoom, but is thwarted at every turn by bad special effects, slapdash editing, interminable pop-song montages, and a goofy performance by Courteney Cox. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

One of the most dismal excuses for family entertainment ever perpetrated by a major studio, this crude, lazy variation on Disney's "Sky High" (2005) revolves around the education of four "special" youngsters at the hands of a washed-up superhero. Read full review

Toddy Burton

This comedy drags its feet, while the sappy sweetness will make you wince. Read full review

We really loved this movie because it was very funny. We loved the little girl that had super powers and she pulled the bed off the wall. It was real cool that the 16 year old girl could control stuff with her mind. It was cool too that the 17 year old boy turned invisible and the 10 year We really loved this movie because it was very funny.

Ignore the critics. I just have a good time seeing this Tim allen movie. I bet it was as creative as Minecraft and Minecraft: Story Mode. This is just like jumping through a portal to the Nether.

This movie is amazing I honestly thing that anyone who gave this movie a low score is crazy because this movie is amazing. If it's an old movie so be it but everyone has their own opinions and I thinks that this movie is great.

It was fine. My daughter enjoyed it, and I didn't fall asleep. I hated Chevy Chase's scenes but enjoyed most of Tim Allen's. The kids weren't too annoying. It was fine.

An agonizingly bad misfire at being the next big superhero kids flick. Uninspired characters, a derivative plot and a humorless spirit make this Sky High wannabe a near complete disaster.

90 minutes of my life I'll never get back. A complete waste of time, talent and resources. Awful.
