| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 16, 2011

A fun time-killer for kids aged tween and up...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 16, 2009

Igor celebrates a defiantly adolescent and suitably caricatured vision of mortality with the potential to have adults and special young malcontents in stitches.

| Jan 15, 2009

Like most acts of cruel mediocrity committed in the name of entertaining children, Igor presumably seemed like a good idea at the time.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 18, 2008

But there's not much form to the plot which develops in fits and starts. Nevertheless, those kids that weren't confused appeared to enjoy it, so there you go.

| Original Score: 3/6 | Oct 17, 2008

You do feel that, with it's knowing one-liners and classic movie references, Igor is trying terribly hard to amuse an adult audience, possibly at the expense of children it should be entertaining.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 17, 2008

This film is outclassed by the Pixar stable, but it's entertaining stuff for the children.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 17, 2008

It's spirited and funny in its better moments, and gives a sly spin to the clichés rather than just parroting them wholesale.

| Oct 17, 2008

More well-aimed wit was needed, less grapeshot wackiness.

| Oct 17, 2008

This dark-toned animation borrows its style from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride without adding much of its own to the macabre mayhem.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 17, 2008

Under-tens are unlikely to be the only ones wondering what's going on; the story is an over-brainstormed botch job.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 17, 2008

Young children might find it a bit difficult to understand and adults too easy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 17, 2008

A modest do-gooder trying to pretend that its not Cartoonland's most direct attack of the Bush administration.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 19, 2008

Igor, like the Frankenstein's monster at the centre of its tired plot, looks like something cobbled together out of used, very used, parts.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 19, 2008

While much of the banter between the characters is inventive, the plot turns are predictable - complete with a romantic misunderstanding straight out of The Karate Kid (and 20 other films).

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 19, 2008

Pieced together from Tim Burton and various other sources with more desperation than inspiration.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 19, 2008

You can think of it as an animated riff on the American dream: Our fate is determined not by the accident of our birth, but our own will, intelligence and talent. And let's not forget serendipity.

| Original Score: B | Sep 19, 2008

My kid went with it, and I had a fairly good time, as I waited for the reappearance of a marble-mouthed peasant tart, voiced by Jennifer Coolidge. Half the time her line readings are hilarious, and it's impossible to know why.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 19, 2008

To convince you that it's full of surprises, the movie throws in Louis Prima songs where they don't belong, and it riffs on classic monster-movie cliches mostly by spinning them into newly unfunny cliches.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 19, 2008
