By Matt Zoller Seitz (637) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 22 Oct 2015

By Frank Scheck (1,741) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 22 Oct 2015

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 22 Oct 2015

Avoiding a true directorial challenge, Chu plays it dispiritingly safe, trying to make a cartoon about a cartoon that wants little to do with…

Review of Jem and the Holograms (2015)

By Molly Lambert (1) for Grantland (318) on 22 Oct 2015
