- 67Film.comLaremy LegelFilm.comLaremy LegelEducational content, clever and photorealistic dinosaur CGI, and John Leguizamo voicing a prehistoric bird. What else would one need for a fun movie stew?
- 63McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreMcClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger Moore“Walking” takes care to ID each new dinosaur species introduced, including factoids about what they ate and any special skills they might have had. It’s downright educational. Just don’t tell your kids that.
- 63St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsSt. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsStrange hybrid of science lesson and Saturday-morning cartoon.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenWalking With Dinosaurs takes rewarding advantage of a much bigger budget and state-of-the-art technology to bring its impressive collection of Cretaceous creatures to vivid life. But while the walking part’s pretty impressive, the talking part — not so much.
- 40Arizona RepublicBarbara VanDenburghArizona RepublicBarbara VanDenburghFor a film that purports to love dinosaurs, this bigger, flashier Walking With Dinosaurs sure doesn’t trust them to be interesting enough to carry five minutes of a movie without the copious aid of slapstick and bathroom humor in a screenplay so rote it makes creatures that have been dead for 65 million years feel less fossilized than the jokes.
- 38Boston GlobeTom RussoBoston GlobeTom RussoHowever well-intentioned the movie may be, it spills over with flat cutesy humor, making a slog out of an experience that should be filled with wonder.
- 25Slant MagazineChris CabinSlant MagazineChris CabinThe strain to make the film both an educational tool and a child-minded entertainment is noticeable throughout.
- It was maddening and frustrating to watch so much ambition wasted on delivering such lame junk. Very young children, I suspect, will like it, but the closer viewers are to puberty, the less likely it is to hold their interest.
- 20New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierYes, the film’s CG dinos look great tromping in the Alaskan wilderness, but children deserve better than such unchallenging fare.
