Critic Reviews

  • Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service
    A semi-serious sci-fi romp, lighter and more fun than many of the comic-book movies that it steals from, a superhero movie in which nobody ever crusades, or wears a cape.
  • David Denby, New Yorker
    "Chronicle" is a mildly experimental commercial film, and, for the most part, it's loose-limbed fun.
  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews
    Chronicle is the kind of movie that makes one excited about the future prospects of the man at the helm.
  • Eric D. Snider, Film.com
    Without the found-footage distraction, Chronicle is an entertaining and creative take on the concept of teenage superpowers.
  • Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter
    Although it dog-legs into silly mayhem in the homestretch, for a good portion of its quick 83-minute running time Chronicle is a quite clever boys-gone-wild-on-telekinetic-powers fantasy.
  • Adam Graham, Detroit News
    Chronicle puts a fresh, invigorating spin on the superhero origin story, a tale Hollywood spins again and again (and again).
  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
    Based on Chronicle, it's clear that Trank has the right stuff to move up to big-budget fantasy movies. If he wants to, that is. In a lot of ways, he has already beaten the studios at their game.
  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
    As a surprise entry in the mid-winter movie doldrums, "Chronicle" is a modest charmer.
  • Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
    "Chronicle" is an energetic hodgepodge that tweaks familiar conventions just enough to seem fresh. Forget the X-Men - these are iHeroes.
  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
    Once again, the conceit collapses along with the movie, and all that's left is third-act mayhem.
