What to Know

Critics Consensus

High fantasy noticeably constrained by a relatively low budget, Red Sonja doesn't overcome its limitations but does have enough moxie to be a respectable B-movie effort.

2.5/4
Even when the picture stalls (which is often), my interest remained constant. I was eager to discover where things were going next, and that’s a positive I refuse to ignore. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Aug 15
This Red Sonja deserves credit for incorporating some feminist and even ecological themes into its fantasy world mix, but it’s not enough to compensate for the overall cheesiness and, worse, dullness of the overly long proceedings. Go to Full Review
William Bibbiani TheWrap Aug 14
A sword-and-sorcery epic that can’t swing the 'epic' part. Go to Full Review
Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Oct 11
It's got moments of humor and an anti-imperialist, pro-conservationist, hippy dippy Earth mother meets Xena Warrior Princess vibe to it that I found immensely enjoyable. Go to Full Review
Christian Jones Starburst Sep 15
4/5
After years of development hell, Red Sonja emerges as a rollicking sword-and-sorcery adventure. Bassett has crafted a film that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, a rare blend that deserves your attention. Go to Full Review
Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org Sep 15
a mix of 1982’s CONAN THE BARBARIAN meets GLADIATOR, and unsatisfying overall. Go to Full Review

chyminy Aug 15 Matilada Lutz, thank you for bringing a character I have adored for decades to life! I really enjoyed the film and your performance. Glad I had the privilege to see it in a theater. See more Jerome Aug 14 Awesome film! Matilda Lutz is a revelation! See more Clint Aug 14 I understand remakes but this was so off from the original they should of called it something different. The only thing they kept from the original was the armor. The movie would be a below average Netflix movie but for a big screen movie it was really bad. I was such a fan of the 80s version with Arnold Schwarzenegger that I gave it a chance. Greatly disappointed. See more Todd S Aug 14 Amazing cast, Awesome action sequences, solid story! The Red Sonja movie I have been waiting for. Much better than I expected! See more Sasha Aug 14 Good story line. Not 100% comics accurate See more Chan Aug 14 way better then it had any right to be See more Read all reviews
