Arizona Republic
It’s cute and entertaining, in a Saturday morning cartoon kind of way, but this one is just for the kiddies. - 60
CineVue
Even with many of the original voice cast involved it's a tired effort that sadly - and it really is sad - doesn't live up to expectations. - 50
Variety
Whether or not they’re familiar with the source property, kids are unlikely to be bothered: There’s just enough blaring sound and color to this knowingly silly tale of interplanetary derring-do to adequately offset its impersonal corporate sheen. - 50
Slant Magazine
The film crams in jokes long past the point of relevance and often to outright distraction, if not annoyance. - 50
ReelViews
The level of quality is such that this does not deserve a theatrical distribution and will only find appeal among pre-teen kids or those who have been fans of the games since their inception more than a decade ago. - 42
The A.V. Club
Like a lot of entertainment pitched at the family matinee audience, it sits at the zero point of watchability. - 40
Time Out London
It’s not a total washout: at least one gag in five is actually funny, and the action scenes set an enjoyably breakneck pace. If you’re an 11-year-old on a week-long sugar jag, you might just love it. - 35
TheWrap
Visually, Ratchet & Clank has its appeal.... But the story is ultimately too predictable and forgettable to make Ratchet & Clank anything but a kid-targeted holdover between slavishly awaited tentpole behemoths from the comic book world.
