Critic Reviews

  • Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service

    Amusingly childish...

  • Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

    Surely the silliest outing for Caine since he swatted rampaging killer bees in the 1978 disaster flick "The Swarm."

  • Rafer Guzman, Newsday

    Offers giant rocks clearly made of Styrofoam and Dwayne Johnson, who fits the same description.

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

    I swear some of the giant, Day-Glo vegetation had "Property of 'Lost in Space'" stamped on it.

  • Tom Long, Detroit News

    The equivalent of throwing "Jurassic Park," "Avatar" and the absolute worst episode ever of "Land of the Lost" in a blender and pushing "garble."

    Let me start off by saying, "Journey 2" is not something I would normally subject myself to. It is difficult to find a movie appropriate for little kids, in a town that is only showing 3 movies. If it had been a week later, we could have seen "The Lorax", instead… More

    This is one of the most unnecessary sequels I have seen in a long time, but oddly enough, it's a very fun film. The first film follows Sean (Josh Hutcherson) as he and his uncle discover the centre of the earth. In this sequel, he discovers that his grandfather has sent him… More

    The first movie offered a lot of fun while I'm watching it so when I know there's a sequel for 'Journey to the Center of the Earth', I expecting that the sequel will at least offers the same fun as the first movie offered while I'm watching it.. But after 90… More
