Washington Post
The battles are boring and the jokes as flat as old 7-Up, but the film's color palette and creatures -- from teeny buzzing critters to a monster that looks like a giant dust mite -- offer a lot to see. It's just not enough to save the convoluted story. - 50
Boston Globe
Delgo demonstrates how hard it is to create a memorable, credible-looking piece of animated entertainment. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Delgo is blocky and hastily coloured in. Characters are stiff; there is little variety in movement. It's a cheapo product ideally suited for a Saturday-morning pyjama vigil in front of a small screen. And the film suffers from a poverty of imagination to boot. - 40
The New York Times
Too leaden for adults and too baffling for kids. - 38
USA Today
The story is tedious, noisy and banal. It is also rather dark and convoluted for children, though it does have the familiar bombast of a video game. - 30
Austin Chronicle
Delgo is a dud. - 25
New York Post
A few magic rocks and tepid battle scenes do little to inspire interest in the goings-on as Malcolm McDowell and Eric Idle spout villainy and punch lines, respectively. - 20
Village Voice
You'll just wonder why this isn't a video game you can actually play.
