Seventeen-year-old Mariah Mundi's life is turned upside down when his parents vanish and his younger brother is kidnapped.

Slant Magazine
The film gradually reveals a lot of unsavory motives, which ultimately deflate the buoyant virtues on which the film had blithely coasted. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Boasting uncommonly handsome production values and a stellar cast, the awkwardly titled The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box nonetheless feels like a stillborn attempt at a franchise starter. - 50
Variety
After a decent if formulaic setup, the story bogs down in dull midsection intrigue, and helmer Jonathan Newman doesn’t deliver as much excitement as expected in the climactic stretch. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
There simply isn’t a whole lot of excitement being generated in this lackluster family adventure, though it tries oh so very hard. - 50

Meh and double meh on this movie. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. - 40
Total Film
Previously known as "Mariah Mundi And The Midas Box," the retitling came with the straight-to-DVD release – presumably to help hide it from fans of G.P. Taylor’s original book. - 38
Chicago Tribune
"The Misadventurer" is more like it. - 25
The Playlist
For being a kids-centric film, the picture is relatively slow and joyless.
