thebitterguyAt The Savage Critic, Jeff Lester did not like Krrish.
KRRISH: As Treacher predicted, I thought Krrish was krrrap. Considering I liked Koi...Mil Gaya, an amazing cinematic combo E.T., Flowers for Algernon and Spider-Man, I figured my bars were properly lowered for Krrrish. But I was wrong. While I figured that there most of the superheroics would be in the second half, I had no idea the first half would be an awful summer-camp style romantic comedy nor that the filmmakers would figure the best movie they could choose to rip off for the last third of the film would be Paycheck. (I mean, Jesus! Paycheck?!) Interestingly, Krrish has a lot more of the traditional Superman-Lois dynamic (in that feisty gal reporter Priya stages a life-endangering stunt or two to force Krishna to reveal himself as superhero Krrish) then Superman Returns does. But that's maybe the only interesting thing about it. It sucked, frankly.
I disagree, personally, but he's dead on with the Paycheck line. I was afraid my tired mind was making that up.
