Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole

“Director Zack Snyder (300) has crafted the rare 3-D eyegasm that's worth the premium ticket price.”

“The film is surprisingly deft and entertains at both the adult and juvenile levels. If something in Guardians catches your eye, trust your gizzard.”

Scott Bowles, USA Today · 75

“A splendid adventure sure to thrill children and fantasy buffs, while leaving everyone else passably entertained.”

Stephen Cole, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) · 75

“This picture sometimes rivals "Avatar" in its spectacular landscapes and thrilling flying sequences, but of course it won't come anywhere near those megagrosses, and it's too scary to be wholeheartedly embraced by children.”

Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter · 70

“There's a confusion that you can sense as well, with the film pulled between its light and dark sides just as the owls struggle with forces of good and evil. That hesitation keeps "Guardians" from reaching the deep, emotionally rich center that confers greatness in the animation world.”
