New York Daily News
The game itself is meaningless, and the movie, much the same way, likes it like that. - 38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
What's up with director John McTiernan? The man has got to get a career of his own -- sponging off the pale leavings of Norman Jewison just won't do. - 30
Los Angeles Times
It's too bad this Rollerball veered off-track so swiftly, derailed by bad writing and possibly also by some of that extensive post-production reworking. - 25
Baltimore Sun
There's something junior varsity about the whole sensibility that makes the new version seem more dated than the old one. - 20
The New York Times
The current version, however, like its predecessor, fails as entertainment. Mr. McTiernan's remake may be lighter on its feet -- the sober-minded original was as graceful as a tap-dancing rhino -- but it is just as boring and as obvious. - 20
The A.V. Club
Only those attracted to "Waterworld" or "Last Action Hero" level big-budget disasters need bother with this one. - 12
Chicago Sun-Times
An incoherent mess, a jumble of footage in search of plot, meaning, rhythm and sense. - 10
Film Threat
Will surely end up as one of this year’s worst films.
