Critic Reviews:
- " The shadows grow longer, the edges wear sharper and the wounds run deeper than any superhero film at the time. It's a masterpiece of beauty, terror, heartbreak and excitement cobbled together through renegade means. Victor Frankenstein would approve. " – Nick Rogers
- " One of Sam Raimi's best films " – David Nusair
- " A fun diversion that reminds us of how enjoyably loony the movies can be. " – James Kendrick
