Guardian
Return to the Shieldlands bore as much relation to the old English epic poem as would Tolstoy to a note for the postie.

Ed Power
Daily Telegraph (UK)
The vast budget appeared to have been splurged mainly on grooming products for a magnificently bearded cast, while the special effects resembled something from a late Nineties action movie.

Andrew Billen
Times (UK)
It is all pledges to "avenge", dodgy punk haircuts, bad child acting and monster animation that recalls Ray Harryhausen's in the Sixties.
