The Earth Stood Still...But the Critics Walked Out

"The best news about the new The Day the Earth Stood Still is that it will quickly fade to obscurity while the timeless original lives on." -Atlantic City Weekly

"What a ridiculous movie." -At The Movies

"This film is a perfect illustration of how to screw-up a remake despite having a perfect example in front of you." -New York Press

"This answers the age-old question, how bad can a movie be?" -Tolucan Times

"It doesn't seem right that a film with a story line about ecological disaster would be a piece of cinematic garbage." -Tulsa World

"The rumbling sound you hear that shakes the theaters playing The Day the Earth Stood Still isn't an awesome sound system. It's everyone involved with the original turning over in their grave." -Movie Retriever

"You'll be doing yourself a huge favor if you go into this movie with lowered expectations." -Christian Science Monitor

"Even Klaatu looks bored and distracted, much as he did back when we knew him as Neo." -New York Times

It all kind of reminds me of this...
