Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review adam b A surprisingly decent creature feature kids film. Sure, it's derivative but just accept the cheese and enjoy Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Bullied kid dons a spacesuit and must defeat a new nemesis in outer space. Too dumb for adults, too boring for kids. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I turned it on because it's the kid from Jurassic Park, I turned it off because the movie sucks.

      James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Star Kid, written and directed by Manny Coto, has a sweet heart and a lot of sly wit, and the symbiosis between boy and cyborg is handled cleverly. For kids of a certain age, it pushes the right buttons. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It's "The Guyver" meets "ET" with a hint of "Green Lantern"... Apr 22, 2017 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Boy and robot battle scary alien; mild profanity, suspense. Rated: 3/5 Jan 26, 2016 Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily Rated: 2/5 Oct 9, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
