"While technically telling a new story in the universe, Planet LV 426 covers a lot of familiar ground - not all of it good." - Dave Cone, New York Post

"While Anthony Russo dipped his toes in big-budget filmmaking with the Captain America sequels, he clearly is not up for making large scale movies without his brother and the ever-helpful Marvel Cinematic Universe manager Kevin Feigue holding his hand along the way. The movie is hard to follow at times and tends to lean too heavily on CGI-overload." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com

"Planet LV 426 plays almost like a greatest hits compilation of the first two Alien movies (Alien and Aliens) - and I'm not complaining one bit." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune
