September 13, 2011The worst possible superhero movie. That's what SKY HIGH is. It proves that there should not be a superhero movie (like this one, sadly enough) that clearly has "Disney" written all over it.

August 15, 2011For a children's film, 'Sky High' is superior than many mature superhero films made nowadays. Cool effects with a magnificent blend of CGI, well-excecuted action sequences add to what is a quality film.

June 23, 2011I didn't really think I'd like this film but it's one of my favourite films. It's underrated and really quite good. A must see!

May 14, 2011I know a lot of people don't like Sky High, but i've always considered it a really good movie. I enjoy the fact that it's not a cheap parody of superheroes, but just a light criticism and mostly an original idea. Creating a school for superheros is an interesting sight to see, es... read more

April 19, 2011I thought this was just okay. Kids will really enjoy the funny momenst and a superhero movie made just for them, but the parents will most likely fall asleep. It had cheap effects sadly and the acting was pretty horrible. However, the concept for the movie will be enjoyed by k... read more

April 8, 2011Leave it to Disney to produce a sugar coated clustercrap like this, call it a superhero film, and have it turn out to be one of the worst and most overrated films of all time. I will admit that Warren Peace was an interesting character. But the rest of the characters are bland an... read more

August 30, 2010The son of two legendary superhero parents goes through the growing pains of high school life in a special school for the super powered. Sky High is a kids' film, and as a kids' film I was never going to be the intended audience but there is enough here to amuse the older generat... read more

Joe Leydon, Variety
Smartly written and sprightly played, Sky High satisfies with a clever commingling of spoofy superheroics, school-daze hijinks, and family friendly coming-of-age dramedy. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Funny, clever and even a bit inspirational, hinting at the potential for heroism in all of us. Full Review

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Sky High may set a record for ripping off more movies in just over an hour and a half than any other film in history. Full Review

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
The formula fizzles when you skimp on the ingredients. Sky High never achieves liftoff. Full Review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Takes camp to new levels of self-aware mediocrity. Full Review

Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail
An engaging and surprisingly sharp allegory about high-school hierarchies and adolescent growing pains. Full Review

Tom Long, Detroit News
A good-natured and witty mix of two modern film genres, Sky High is classic Disney filmmaking -- fanciful, family-friendly and, most importantly, fun.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Cheesy as it is, the family comedy Sky High doesn't even approximate the texture of Kraft plastic-wrapped singles. Full Review
