Mighty Joe Young Ratings & Reviews
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
We're left with poorly developed human characters in sometimes laughable, often unmotivated situations, making the film essential for stop-motion enthusiasts but difficult to recommend otherwise.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
It's fascinating corn.
Common Sense Media
Ellen MacKay
More of a historic novelty than an action film.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Though in the shadows of Kong it still brings back fond memories of how to make a special effect film back in the old days.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
Great escapist fun: a West Coast 'King Kong'
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Tame, but well done giant ape flick.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
Great Willis O'Brien effects, a good story and fine cast. A wonderful fantasy, not as good as King Kong, but still fun to watch.

Scott Weinberg
An entertaining "friendlier" version of King Kong.
