Steven D. Greydanus National Catholic Register Produces images of poetic power ... The catch is that the world the filmmakers create is far more interesting than the story they tell in it in it or the characters they put in it. Rated: B- May 31, 2013 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture For all its attempts at wonder and spectacle and play, Epic is mostly a slog. May 27, 2013 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom The visuals are pure magic. Rated: B+ May 26, 2013 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Only the very young will draw much from the generic storytelling, while the handsome animation of the natural world is wasted on dull characters and unexciting situations. Rated: 2/4 Sep 6, 2022 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The more I allowed myself to be immersed in the visuals of Epic the more satisfied I became. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Leslie Combemale Cinema Siren Knowing the state of the animation industry, and how artists and animators put their hearts and souls into their craft, hoping to create something truly special, makes this end result very disappointing indeed.

Jazmen B Everyone who talks smack about this masterpiece, must be thrown into a casket immediately. This movie is a wonderful piece of art that should only be watched in heaven. Only the pure should be able to witness such media, to whoever is reading this review and happens to dislike epic. I will find you. and I will make the ring of fire be shaken in such way that an earthquake and tsunami will come to your home, and extinguish everyone you know and love. Kind regards to people that love this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Audience Member 3 Stars only for the beyonce fairy queen lady who dies 30 minutes into the film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Kayleigh S Nostalgic and beautiful one of my favorites growing up Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review DAX T You’ve seen this a hundred times. It looks pretty. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Ryan L This is probably the second best Spider-Man ever made (2002 Spider-Man is the GOAT). This has everything and is so much better than the first of its series. Animated movies are not my thing but this is incredible. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Kieran Q This movie is EPIC!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
