Quote: "The entire package seems to reek of that desperate air of people living in the past, whose greatest achievements were being at the low end of British crime nearly 40 years ago and spending more time in prison than the average bloke."
Quote: "Though there are clear stylistic links with Del Toro's film, this animated adventure wastes little time establishing its own identity, while also keeping some hint of Mignola's quirky visuals."

Quote: "This follow-up to 2004's The Librarian: Quest for the Spear isn't quite as fun as its predecessor. The first movie took the viewer on a breezy, over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek adventure, but this movie gets bogged down in the subplot about Flynn's unresolved issues with his father."
Quote: "We should hate Long John Silver. But thanks to an outstanding performance by Wallace Beery, we cannot. So when Jim makes his final decision regarding Silver's fate at the end of the film, we understand the how and the why. Jim has no illusions about Long John Silver's true nature, and neither do we. But we understand."
Quote: "While not as hard-boiled as the admittedly superior episodes from the first two seasons, the shows in this collection are also not quite as campy as the ones from the third and fourth seasons; the result is a pleasing blend that practically reeks of classic silver-age Superman."
Quote: "Emergency! is the balls."
Quote: "Although I certainly would not expect a biopic to be pedantic about presenting the details of its subject's life, it does seem odd that so much of this life is left, as it were, on the cutting-room floor."
Quote: "When exactly did the future stop being cool flying cars and rocket packs and robot maids and start being all apocalyptic? I blame the hippies and peace protesters."
