- 68PolygonPetrana RadulovicPolygonPetrana RadulovicThere isn’t a lot of substance beneath that spectacle, but Rumble does monsters, wrestling, and monster–wrestling pretty damn well, and it makes young viewers’ possible first sports movie into something memorable.
- 61Paste MagazineAurora AmidonPaste MagazineAurora AmidonIt is not fair to assume that every film is going to stray from the beaten path; many are much better off if they don’t. What should be a standard, though, is that a film’s stakes be quantitative, and if it’s about giant mutant monsters engaging in a succession of epic, high-stakes brawls, it should be at least fun to watch.
- 50The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerThe A.V. ClubJesse HassengerThere’s liveliness in the conception of Rumble, knocked around and out by the demands of formulas no one has bothered to figure out.
- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIt’s a good-looking, mindless romp aimed at the children of all ages who watch professional wrestling. Formulaic and silly, it might not be reason one to subscribe to the Kevin Costner network. But there are a couple of laughs and lots of utterly ridiculous “action” in the octagon where the Big Boys play.
- 30Screen RantNadir SamaraScreen RantNadir SamaraWeighed down by its inability to fully commit to a story about fathers and lacking a fighting spirit, Rumble is far from being a must-see animation.
