Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C+ Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "At heart, Poseidon is just a string of neat-o special effects in search of something that passes for a story line on which to drape itself." more... B- Boston Globe Ty Burr "Maybe it's the era we're living in, but the new film is as much fun as a shroud." more... C   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "...Petersen's heart isn't in it. He is too wise a director to think this is first-rate material..." more... C   Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "...noisy, occasionally exciting..." more... C   E! Online "Poseidon is big, loud, entertaining and almost instantly forgettable--in many ways, the perfect summer movie." more... B   Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum "...a buoyant, old-wave disaster pic for a generation of well-conditioned thrill seekers..." more... B+ filmcritic.com David Thomas "In spite of some true moments of real tension and pizzazz, this version of Extreme Love Boat feels distinctly empty at its core." more... C   Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden "A disaster thrill ride that's technically dazzling but emotionally uninvolving." more... C   New York Post Kyle Smith "...audiences at Poseidon are facing only a slightly better time than passengers on "Poseidon." more... D- New York Times A.O. Scott "...a reasonably well-executed throwaway..." more... B- ReelViews James Berardinelli "Although the premise and basic setup are the same, the characters and their specific situations are new." more... B- Rolling Stone Peter Travers "It may be cheese, but Poseidon lays out a mighty fine spread." more... B   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "An experience that's exciting and nerve-racking in the moment, but that, in the end, leaves audiences with a lonely walk back to the car." more... C   Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...works as a thrill ride..." more... B   USA Today Claudia Puig "...a sodden saga, with a script that is awash in clichés. It nearly drowns under the weight of its own soggy tedium." more... C- * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
