Reaction: Amazing numbers! Booster Gold has become our highest grossing film, as well as our third most profitable film (our most profitable film not starring Tom Cruise with it coming in just behind the two Splinter Cell films). You can definitely expect to see more of Booster Gold in this studio's future.
"While Han Solo may not have been a tonal match for Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the directors are the perfect fit here. They bring the energy and comedic action of their 21 Jump Street films and take it to superheroic heights." - Perry Manson, CinemaBlend.com
"Easily the funniest and most fun superhero adventure since Guardians of the Galaxy. It's hard to not get caught up by Billy Magnussen's goofy, aloof charm as the time-traveling wannabe superhero." - Michael Carthage, Associated Press
"There are definitely elements that work, and it's humor plays better than a lot of other superhero films that try to be funny, but the film has some critical flaws. There are no stakes for the characters. Perhaps a strong villainous presence could have fixed that. Superhero films can only be as good as the villain making things difficult for the hero - and this film doesn't have anyone to do that." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
