"Akira boasts some cool visuals and some solid performances, but it lacks the magic that made the source material so beloved." - George Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
"It gets bogged down in aesthetics that are stimulating only for the sake of stimulation, seemingly without a flicker of thought behind them." - Desmond Rodgers, TIME Magazine
"This action-packed take on the manga classic both honors and streamlines its source. Ezra Miller completely makes the movie with proper doses of humanity and anger." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
