      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Modern visuals and an old fasioned storyline make this family adventure/comedy a fast-paced, kitschy ride.

Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Often feels like an excuse to exploit a famous title rather than present a sincere adaptation. Rated: 4/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Fraser has very much become a go to actor for lighthearted family fare.

      r96 s What an ugly looking movie! It's all watchable, mind you. Even for 2008, the special effects of 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' are quite bad, they are more reminiscent of early 00s video game graphics. That whole initial sequence looks awful, admittedly the effects aren't actually as bad as that opening suggests but still looks unbefitting of a flick with a reported $60m budget! What saves this film is that the adventure plot itself is solid and the cast do admirable jobs. Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson and Anita Briem are a trio that made it work for me. I haven't got much more to say about this one, it is visually woeful but as a picture overall it didn't drag or anything for me personally so I narrowly view it positively. Now to see what the sequel had to offer! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Adrian G No es tan buena, pero si es para hechartela un sábado por la tarde. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Idan Charles L It was okay but not very memorable Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Kira S I would rather eat my grandmother's ashes than to watch this movie again. If you are brainrotted and thoughtless you will enjoy this movie, other wise I suggest watching something else. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review BRENDEN J I read the book which I did not like at all but then I watch the movie and it did not get in to me at all and the movie was very bland. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Holly S Boas memórias, mas eu não gosto do Peeta Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
