It’s possible my eyes glanced at a review of it in a local paper for about half a second, then quickly moved on.

It gets a robust 16 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.

>>Consensus: Delgo features a blend of plot elements from earlier (and superior) fantasy films, with weaker animation and dull characters.

(Example: the horde of armies clashing—Lord of the Rings)

Mary Ann Johanson:
>>It’s a good thing I just bought the Wall-E DVD, because I’m gonna need to watch it at least a dozen times to scrub the horrors of Delgo out of my brain.

Bill Gibron:
>>
a lot like watching your computer’s graphics card vomit.

We saw a preview when we went to see Bolt on Thanksgiving day. Previews have been all over the tv.

My girls are 11 and 8. The older one thought it looked too intense. The younger one was not interested at all.

Not until now. Looks like we haven’t missed anything, either. Give me some good old movies anytime.

Nope. Maybe that’s a reason it did so poorly...

Nope, apparently this film maker/studio forgot about MARKETING.

I saw some previews for it. Looked bad, boring cookie cutter story. Not terribly surprised it crashed.
