"Writer APJ and director Rawson Thurber Marshall have stormed head-first into the weirdness of their characters here with reckless abandon. In some scenes it works well, but other times it left me scratching my head in confusion and/or disbelief. At the very least, there was never a dull moment." - Michael Wilmington, Rolling Stone
"Plastic Man's second solo outing is about 100 times more bonkers than the first film. This time around we have Hawaiian rock gods, ancient artifacts, failed nightclub singers turned criminals, and even excessive amounts of pancakes being made. I wish I could say it all works, but that wouldn't be exactly the truth. The action leaves a lot to be desired, but the script does excel when it is focused on the characters and the humor." - Michael Carthage, Associated Press
"Glenn Howerton remains the perfect actor to play Plastic Man on the big screen, but this film just didn't work. The story was too silly and the humor was often too odd for its own good. For a superhero action film, there was also a shocking lack of action set-pieces." - Henry Stewart, Chicago Sun-Times
