"The story goes exactly where you think it will. It's far too comfortable with itself to provide any real thrills, scares or dramatic tension" - Brian Edelstein - Time Out
"The updated creature design works surprisingly well, granted, it does take a little getting used to. The team of director Matt Reeves and performer Andy Serkis once again shows that they can make a non-human character relatable." - Chris Mears, Slashfilm
"The routine story is mightily improved by Reeves' sure sense of atmospheric locations and by the often sympathetic portrait of the monster and its feelings for Johansson." - Geoff Bray, Slant Magazine
