Produces images of poetic power ... The catch is that the world the filmmakers create is far more interesting than the story they tell in it in it or the characters they put in it. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture May 27, 2013
For all its attempts at wonder and spectacle and play, Epic is mostly a slog. Go to Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom May 26, 2013

2/4
Only the very young will draw much from the generic storytelling, while the handsome animation of the natural world is wasted on dull characters and unexciting situations. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Sep 7, 2020

The more I allowed myself to be immersed in the visuals of Epic the more satisfied I became. Go to Full Review Leslie Combemale Cinema Siren Jul 30, 2019
Knowing the state of the animation industry, and how artists and animators put their hearts and souls into their craft, hoping to create something truly special, makes this end result very disappointing indeed. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Fuck T @RT13857505 2 days ago Stop making queen Beeyotch famous! See more Sophia H. @sheminger Oct 11, 2026 This movie is so good- a lovable classic from when I was little. Course watching it as adult there are some questions unanswered lol but it’s a masterpiece nonetheless. See more Paul S @PManRager Sep 30, 2026 While there were a few issues with the story and the characters, I liked this movie way too much to call it anything other than a masterpiece. With beautiful animation, an enchanting story, and plenty of awesome and hilarious moments, this movie is exactly what it's called: epic! I had so much fun watching this movie; I definitely recommend it!

See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12, 2026 Um espetáculo visual deslumbrante que esconde uma narrativa vazia, derivada e aborrecida. O filme recicla de forma genérica o conceito de mundos microscópicos secretos, entregando personagens sem carisma e piadas infantis fáceis que cansam rapidamente. See more Read all reviews
