Critics' reviews

"It's a beautiful, horrible, groty mess that could never have been pulled off with anything but puppets, or by anyone but Peter Jackson. Bravo!"

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
"While I found parts of it diabolically clever and funny, I thought the setup was overlong and certain aspects of the production either didn't work or were needlessly overdone (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"Destined to stand as an unfortunate footnote to Mr. Jackson's career."

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
