Reviews for The Powerpuff Girls Movie
As a whole, the film is not as quickly paced as its parts, but the adventure is great fun nonetheless.

For Powerpuff aficionados and virgins alike.

The days of Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers are long gone – now it’s payback time for America’s toddlers.

You start to realize that the filmmakers simply didn't have enough material to deliver a feature-length film and have tried to pad things out as best they can.
07/03/02
A light, action-packed crowd pleaser.

That its heroes are adorable, bug-eyed little girls lends some charm and probably feels empowering to its young audience.

It's a prime example of raw visual energy hitched up to the toy rocketship of popular art.

The Powerpuff Girls arrive on the big screen with their super-powers, their super-simple animation and their super-dooper-adorability intact.

What's really so appealing about the characters is their resemblance to everyday children.

Top Critic[Stretches] everything out ... at the expense of most attention spans.

Top CriticThe movie doesn't add anything fresh to the myth.

It's great fun, turning sci-fi and kiddie-show conventions upside down with a hip wink, but even with more time to go deeper with a plot line, there's not quite enough here to make it special enough for moviegoing.

Jam-packed with perils and parodies, "PowerPuff" will be best-appreciated by moviegoers with a high tolerance for mayhem and unrestrained goofiness. ...It's Saturday morning TV meets "Saturday Night Live."
07/02/02
Too much power, not enough puff.
07/02/02
Half enjoyable goof, half an uncomfortable panorama of urban terrorism that just doesn't sit well after Sept. 11.
07/02/02
Those new to the series ... as well as the already committed, will dig the anarchic Chicks Rule attitude and the snazzy art.
07/02/02
Racks up more laughs per minute than anything since There’s Something About Mary.
07/02/02
This movie is one of the few American creations that is both gleeful pop culture and exquisite high art.
07/02/02
Is it just me or are you also getting really tired of opportunistic studios turning their television cartoons into mediocre movies with no ideas behind them other than stretching out the length?
