	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Incomprehensible action, idiotic dialogue, inexplicable motivations, causes without effects, effects without causes, and general lunacy. What a mess (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"This highly elaborate venture offers some appealing elements (...) that are ultimately engulfed by explosions, effects and an affiliated ponderousness."	NEU
United States	Megan Lehmann New York Post	"Suspension of disbelief is as necessary as popcorn when approaching a summer comic-book movie, but LXG is too preposterous even for this fantastical genre"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It's just so silly you have to like it. Sort of. But once the novelty wears off, you are left with a very over-egged pudding low on real thrills."	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Except for Connery, who is every inch the lion in winter, nothing here feels authentic (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"A wonderfully old-school adventure"	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper	"This film is odd, loud, unintentionally funny and quite awful"	NEG
