Critics Consensus

The Adventures of Pluto Nash is neither adventurous nor funny, and Eddie Murphy is on autopilot in this notorious box office bomb.

The result is something quite rare in professional show business: 1 1/2 hours of pure blankness. It's there but it's not there. It is but it isn't. It has nothing to offer. It's not forgettable, really, because there's nothing to forget.

Formulaic films are released every week, but it's rare that one has a $100 million budget, big stars whose roles are embarrassing to watch and unusual special effects that only serve to mask a predictable plot and cliche-ridden scenes.

A paralyzingly dopey mess, Pluto sat on the shelf for more than a year while Warner Bros. tried to inject some life into it. You might as well try to revive a stuffed moose.

As for Eddie Murphy – he just looks bored. He's done action and comedy successfully before, but it looks like he got amnesia when he stepped onto this set.

One of the worst movies of all time? No way. A middling-yet-relatively-enjoyable sci-fi romp? Why not.

As Murphy himself decries in the first few moments of the film, "Horrible, horrible, horrible, that was terrible."

One time, I gave Buzz Lightyear, Mario, Luigi, Finn, and Steve tickets to see this movie. Then I shot Buzz and saw my babies in the snack section. After that, I started the movie and Eddie Murphy shot them all with an RPG. It was amazing I will say.

I thought it was a cute fifth element type of movie everyone tries to say it’s a bad movie but I think it’s futuristic especially the body change scene cus that’s all that’s happening in 2025 lol I will say the end is a little confusing tho

I watched this movie with Fin from Adventure Time, Mario from the hit Nintendo series of the same name, Minecraft Steve, Buzz Lightyear, & Luigi from Mario. The staff member that happened to vend my ticket was a rather large (human sized) anthropomorphic bag of cheese Doritos. It was quite the experience & I cannot recommend it enough to anyone with a working frontal lobe.

Filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.
