Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Too infantile for tweens and too stagnant for tots, Zoom bleeds boredom from every frame.
Rotten: In a feat of dullness quite powerful in its own way, this lifeless family comedy sucks the joy from every joke it touches; X-Men's Rogue would be envious.
Rotten: The under-achieving Zoom resembles nothing so much as as a subpar episode of a failed Disney Channel teleseries.
Rotten: A crashing, thudding dullness infects every moment of Zoom.

good, but whers the soundtrack
I personally like the movie, it had some cheasy parts, like when the guy is running and he says 'must...save...connor!'. but the point i wanted to get across is wheres the soundtrack at? there is some songs i want on there and i dont know the name to them.
five stars its cool
its one of my fave movies!! its the best!!!!!! my fave person in the movie is cindy collins, she really cool!! In fact, they are all cool!!!!
A flop, but a fun flop
If you are considering watching this film, you will want to know first off that this is not a hard-core superhero movie. The pot concerns a hard-hearted, power drained ex-superhero named Jack 'Capt. Zoom' Shephard who is recruited by the government to reform his old team, Team Zenith using youths with budding superpowers. Jack resents the government for a variety of reasons and takes out his anger on the four children he is supposed to be training. It takes the return of his brother Conner 'Concussion' Shephard, turned evil by gamma radiation and the determination and bond between the children to show him that life is not all about him. That said, this film is a typical Tim Allen cheesey comedy flick that results in mixed emotions: you want to laugh and say, "Ewwwww!" at the same time. But if you want a fun, carefree and moderately immature night of family entertainment, this film is almost a perfect fit. Just bring a gracious attitude and a forgiving sense of humour: you'll need it.
