Reviews

Despite its charm and nostalgia factor for fans of the original animated series, 'Underdog' fails to soar to new heights according to critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a meager 14% rating, with the consensus stating that the film 'lacks the wit and originality of the original cartoon.' Metacritic was equally unimpressed, giving it a score of 37 out of 100, citing the movie's lackluster execution and uninspired storyline. IMDb users were slightly more forgiving, rating it 4.8 out of 10. Some reviewers appreciated the film's attempts to modernize the classic character, but overall, 'Underdog' fell short of capturing the magic of the original series.
