Everyone who watched this movie expected something big out of it. Jack Black doing his trademark stuff with a bit of physical humour and a story that fitys him. Sounded absolutely great. But unfortunately it didn't do justice to the source material and the effects much like the s... read more

"Gulliver's Travels" screams predictability throughout, and some parts are overly silly (Jack Black tumbling around as he sings "War, what is it good for" at the end, anyone? As if THAT's going to keep the kingdom's people from ever fighting or arguing again...), but I found it t... read more

average family fare. there are some entertaining moments and a few that made me laugh out loud, but there are also many moments that fall totally flat and leave the film feeling stale.

I did not like this movie. The only things good about this movie was Chris O'Dowd and Jason Segel. There is no reason that this movie was in 3D. They should have put the 3D to good use by NOT using it! Jack Black is reprising his role as the fat loser from all of his other movies.

I'm all for a loose take on a classic, but if you're going to be a comedy at least try and be funny. This film was an abysmal piece of trash thrown together as quickly as possible. It turned from generic comedy, to urine jokes, and then just into full on embarrassment. It doesn't... read more

I considered giving it a solid 2 stars. But then it ended with a musical number.

This movie was a disgusting shame. The comedy is for 6 year old boys who pick their nose, Jack Black is so bad in this movie but the mini people suck even worse. This movie tricks you making it seem like a kid movie but then it curses, he starts peeing on people, and it has a l... read more
Critic Reviews
There is laziness at every turn -- in the writing, in the acting, in the filmmaking. Don't reward these yahoos. Full Review
I will tell you there's a cast credit for a character described only as "Butt-crack man." Consider yourself warned. Full Review
The film stumbles along a predictable path, and there is an audible wince when Gulliver says, "These little people have grown large in my heart." Full Review
Some films are phoned in. The staggeringly awful "Gulliver's Travels" was texted. Full Review
"Gulliver's Travels" is one of those movies that falls between complete disaster and loads of fun. Mild amusement is probably about right. Full Review
It all feels so lazy and familiar that adults may find themselves hoping Black will start to challenge himself again -- and the more swiftly the better. Full Review
What were they thinking? What were they smoking? What were they singing on the way to the bank? Full Review
For a novel written nearly 300 years ago by a dour Irish cleric with a mad-on about the material world and a satiric mindset dark enough to flirt with misanthropy, it's amazing how well Gulliver's Tra... Full Review
Somewhere by the middle, the souffle collapses, and the movie becomes sleep-inducing. Gulliver doesn't have much to do in Lilliput, and we notice that before he does. Full Review
