Leave your thoughts about The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box.
| The Film StageJared MobarakAs a Part One it effectively disseminates exposition with enough adventure to keep our attention on these characters coming into their own. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferUnsophisticated and cartoonish, but well-cast and kid-friendly in an old-fashioned way. |
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinThe Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box is an example of what happens when the filmmakers are less than scrupulous with the story's connective tissue and don't display affinity for the characters. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenSolid Victorian adventure is too dark for younger kids. |
| Slant MagazineR. Kurt OsenlundThe film gradually reveals a lot of unsavory motives, which ultimately deflate the buoyant virtues on which the film had blithely coasted. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThe Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box could somewhat aptly be described as National Treasure in Victorian England. That is to say, it has that distinct feeling of being a tenth-generation ripoff of Raiders of the Lost Ark. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonThe visually stylish film feels like a combination of elements from other fantasy adventures, yet turns out more muddled and convoluted than suspenseful. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThis elaborately constructed, visually appealing, well-cast adventure film should have worked, but is sunk by a singularly unmusical script and perfunctory handling. |
| Total FilmPaul M. BradshawMichael Sheen, Lena Heady and Sam Neill are among the big names expecting a franchise, but they'll be lucky to get a mid-morning TV slot, let alone a sequel. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsMae AbdulbakiForgettable and flat, the film tries and fails at being an adventure that the entire family can enjoy. |
