I saw Journey 2 twice and I would see it again and again. I loved the action and the humor. The scenery was outstanding. Although the only actor I... recognized was Michael Caine I found that the actors did a fantastic job. I wonder how many men went home to \"pop their pecks\" after the movie. Full Review

An O.K family movie, but I have seen better. To begin with, Almost every scene had a close up of a giant bug, or spider, which is more than enough... r anyone who hates the site of giant roaches or spiders. The overall story plot was a little to unrealistic for me. Between riding giant bees, and discovering an island that is from a made-up book, It is obviouse that this isn't the slightest bit realisic. After all of this, the movie felt like it was draggin on, and on. A 1 an da half hour movie felt like it should have been 45 minutes long max. Overall this is the worst movie I have critiqued.

The movie flies by pleasantly, and is then instantly forgettable. Perhaps Jules Verne can explain the science of that.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

This is transcendently goofy. It isn't a "good" movie in the usual sense (or most senses), but it is jolly and good-natured, and Michael Caine and Dwayne Johnson are among the most likable of actors.Full Review

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

It's a thoroughly family-friendly film, with a subtle message about the importance of father figures. Don't expect anything resembling believability, but enjoy the blend of strikingly colorful visuals and banter between odd couple Johnson and Caine, which combine for a mild escapist treat.Full Review

If there's a book-loving adventuress or adventurer in your house younger than 10, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island provides a lighthearted break from the death-obsessed "Harry Potter" franchise and other literary but limp adventures like the "Narnia" films and "The Lightning Thief."Full Review

New York Daily News

This kind of movie is all about the special effects. They start out great - cool helicopter crash, very convincing giant lizard - but grow more amateurish as the film goes along, with a flight sequence on giant bees proving particularly clunky.Full Review
