Despite its whimsical premise and the charm of Robin Williams, 'Flubber' failed to impress critics. IMDb rated the movie at 5.3/10, calling it a 'disappointing' remake. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a low 23% rating, with critics stating 'Flubber lacks the heart of the original'. Metacritic was slightly more forgiving at 37/100, with reviewers noting the film's 'creative visuals but lackluster storytelling'. While some appreciate the humor and special effects, many felt that 'Flubber' fell short of expectations, especially when compared to the beloved original. Overall, critics agree that the movie has moments of fun, but struggles to capture the magic of its predecessor.
