Critics Consensus

High fantasy noticeably constrained by a relatively low budget, Red Sonja doesn't overcome its limitations but does have enough moxie to be a respectable B-movie effort.

Even when the picture stalls (which is often), my interest remained constant. I was eager to discover where things were going next, and that’s a positive I refuse to ignore.

Rated: 2.5/4

The Hollywood Reporter

This Red Sonja deserves credit for incorporating some feminist and even ecological themes into its fantasy world mix, but it’s not enough to compensate for the overall cheesiness and, worse, dullness of the overly long proceedings.

A sword-and-sorcery epic that can’t swing the 'epic' part.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

It's got moments of humor and an anti-imperialist, pro-conservationist, hippy dippy Earth mother meets Xena Warrior Princess vibe to it that I found immensely enjoyable.

After years of development hell, Red Sonja emerges as a rollicking sword-and-sorcery adventure. Bassett has crafted a film that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, a rare blend that deserves your attention.

Rated: 4/5

a mix of 1982’s CONAN THE BARBARIAN meets GLADIATOR, and unsatisfying overall.

Matilada Lutz, thank you for bringing a character I have adored for decades to life! I really enjoyed the film and your performance. Glad I had the privilege to see it in a theater.

I understand remakes but this was so off from the original they should of called it something different. The only thing they kept from the original was the armor. The movie would be a below average Netflix movie but for a big screen movie it was really bad. I was such a fan of the 80s version with Arnold Schwarzenegger that I gave it a chance. Greatly disappointed.
