What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lacking the punch and good cheer of The Incredibles and Sky High, Zoom is a dull and laugh-free affair.

Rob Mackie Guardian The title describes the sound that you should make in your car, or on foot, or on mule, heading away from any cinema showing this film. Rated: 1/5 Mar 3, 2007 Full Review Stephen Garrett Time Out ... this fizzled action flick lacks the wit, style and substance of so many better efforts ... Dec 30, 2006 Full Review David Jones BBC.com ... a copycat kids' flick that raises smiles but no laughs. Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The end result is really a film that more sputters than zooms, but survives mainly upon the strength of its committed cast with an obvious chemistry. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 27, 2020 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News The script could've been salvaged if it had a cast to pull it off, but everybody seems like they're just in it for a paycheck. Nov 20, 2019 Full Review Jim Vejvoda IGN Movies Although it is aimed at very young children, Zoom doesn't even work as a kid flick. It is truly one of the worst films of the year.

Casper C This movie started my love for superheroes. Its not in depth, its not perfect, but it still makes me smile ear to ear when I watch it. Sometimes you can look at 100 reviews for a movie and come out with a completely different outlook then what other people did. Each of the characters is goofy in their own way. My brother loves the lead, I think the kids are great. It gives me that feeling you get when your a kid, that you too can be a superhero, that even with a pretty crappy outlook on life theres some fun and even family. And maybe im delusional with nostalgia but I dont think that's it. This is mindless fun that gives me back those thoughts and fantasy of carving my hero name on a wall before going to save the world with a team of people who may fight but still get along. And the songs in it are great, I love smashmouth and my favorite song ever is So Insane. When I give this movie 5 stars I mean it in a place better then a perfect movie, its one I actually love. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Audience Member Horrible plot, Bad effects, Just a bad movie I LITERALLY almost fell asleep while watching it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, os personagens são carismáticos, mas não são relevantes para esse filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review alicia n Modern cinema has come no where close to this masterpiece. It’s fun and camp and I love it so much despite its terrible plot and script it’s so fun Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Christopher J this movie does have some funny moments but its gets boring after a while and the ending sucks and is a big letdown Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Kristen T This is probably one of my favorite childhood movies---absolutely love the characters, music, and the plot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
