The Majestic Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Darabont and screenwriter Michael Sloane's misty-eyed tribute may be pleasant in places, but it's too manufactured and deliberate to be persuasive.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
I think Americans are in the mood today for a sentimental movie about their values, and, frankly, it's wonderful to see people get teary-eyed over the First Amendment.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It can't fake sincerity. It tries ever so hard, but it doesn't have a single believable second.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Even for those to whom rank cynicism comes hard, The Majestic must seem hopelessly derivative, contrived, manipulative and, finally, insulting.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
This corny movie may not appeal to kids.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It tells a full story with three acts, it introduces characters we get to know and care about, and it has something it passionately wants to say.
Newsweek
David Ansen
I staggered out of this shameless, interminable movie feeling as if I'd been force-fed a ton of mealy, artificially sweetened baby food.
Observer
Rex Reed
Carrey gets the best role of his own career -- and plays it with tenderness, valor, bravery and deeply moving conviction. I find him positively captivating.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Marks a steep downturn in Jim Carrey's career.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Well-intentioned, but nearly every scene feels dragged out.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
At 2 1/2 hours, this movie is about an hour too long, and this makes an obvious story obnoxious in the extreme.
Newsday
John Anderson
I never thought I'd say anything like this, but it makes you long for Ace Ventura.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A bloated Capra-esque fable that stubbornly refuses to come to life.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
[Darabont] makes us care about the characters and their dilemmas; he's made this old-fashioned tale vital and engaging.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
Even Capra would blanch, if he could stay awake, at Darabont's attempt to force-feed such hollow, phony and insincere sentimentality as infuses Majestic.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
The ghost of Frank Capra haunts the movie so fiercely, audiences may pray for an exorcist.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
One of those movies that makes you feel as if the national IQ was dropping while you're watching it.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
Lazy, heavy-handed nostalgia.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
A sweet, visually handsome sermon, but it's too dramatically bland to convert even the converted.
