- 75PremiereGlenn KennyPremiereGlenn KennyIt's goofy as hell but devilishly smart about it, which is why it's such great fun.
- 70VarietyDeborah YoungVarietyDeborah YoungThe special effects are quality fun, the humor only a little Japanese, and the story boasts the offbeat genre twists Miike lovers clamber for.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceThe creator of such wicked bloodbaths as "Audition" and "Ichi the Killer" had it in him to craft a nearly family-friendly flick. No doubt, this kitschy CGI-action spoof is still deliciously insane.
- 70SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirUtterly delightful.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckA family-friendly fantasy that finds the director working in an uncharacteristically gentle mood.
- 60The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisDriven less by civic duty than by the need to escape his dreary life, Zebraman is a tragic, touching figure too often obscured by Kankurou Kudo’s hyperactive screenplay and a special-effects team drunk on alien slime.
- 50TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghGoofy, raunchy and very Japanese, Miike's film will probably play best to fanboys who love "Power Rangers" and "Ultraman" -- and there are plenty of them to go around.
