Reaction: Definitely more than we could hope for at the box office considering how old and the unknown to younger generations the source material is. That's where Chris Pratt came in though, helping bridge the gap with his star power. We probably would not have been willing to make the movie without a big, charismatic star like him in the lead. We're very happy with the result. Is the Bionic Woman next?
"It sure takes a lot of guts to make a film adaptation of The Six Million Dollar Man, and ask for it to be taken seriously, but it surprisingly works thanks to Daniel Espinosa's tight direction and Chris Pratt's charismatic performance." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune
"The premise is inherently silly, and the film never gets serious enough for the stakes to ever feel real. Maybe if they had gone for more humor it would've worked better." - Mark Plainsview, ReelViews
"Six Billion Dollar Man is a curious film. It's well-shot and well-acted, but it's too obvious an attempt at starting a franchise and sorely lacks a villainous presence." - Eli McCown, NJ.com
