Critics Consensus

There are far worse family viewing options, but given the talent assembled, Secret Headquarters is a disappointingly bland and muddled action movie.

Tomris Laffly

AV Club

Despite its vintage Spielbergian vibes, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman’s family-friendly escapade doesn’t bother with essential storytelling devices like world-building, emotional climaxes, or even basic character development.

Rated: D+

There's probably enough going on in "Secret Headquarters" for some young audiences to have a good time, but parents, please: Have your kids' best interests at heart and steer them elsewhere.

Rated: 1/4

Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)

It’s lighthearted, formulaic, and cute — your kids will like it and you can look up from the book you’re reading during the dialogue scenes.

Rated: 2/4

KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA)

The film has a few interesting moments but Wilson’s laid back style coupled with a weak performance by Michael Pena as the major nemesis leaves this tale in a state of blah.

Rated: C

Some will hate it while others will enjoy it for what it is. That is key here – enjoy it for what it is. It was never aiming to be a blockbuster.

Rated: 2.5/5

The film could use a little more Wilson and a lot less Pena.

Sayang oras. Nakakaumay na un superhero ang tema. Hindi mo rin masabing pambata dahil na din sa mga eksenang involved ang barilan

Entretenida pero no mucho mas. Algún buen chiste, historia flashera y divertida. Apuntada muy específicamente al publico infantil y se nota.
