Reaction: While the numbers may feel slightly low for a big DC Comics Universe release, we at the studio feel that the Soviet iconography could have had a negative impact in certain regions. However, we are happy the film managed a solid profit though, and it became the second straight film of this season with very strong home video numbers.
"There is just too much going on here. We have Dmitri, the rest of the Rocket Red squadron, Blue Jay and Silver Sorceress, plus Kilowog. It's a lot to keep track of considering the origin elements included, resulting in character overload." - Mark Rawls, Seattle Times
"The story gets pretty crazy at times, but the solid action direction from Brad Bird and the script by James Morgan and Harry Wright manages to keep things fairly focused throughout." - Dave Cone, New York Post
"Rocket Red is an absolute blast. Joel Edgerton finally gets his chance as the lead in a blockbuster and makes the most of it. That said, Kevin Durand's Kilowog completely steals the entire movie." - Allen Poole, AV Club

Rated PG-13 for intense sci-fi action violence and some thematic material
