Reviews for Mimic
Top CriticDel Toro does not make Tyler a symbol of science gone out of control or of science for greed, instead he makes her a scientist who in doing good has created a monster and has to live with that guilt.
07/10/08
Preposterous, yes, but a lot of fun.
02/14/09
Fairly lame bug horror. Not del Toro's best, to put it mildly.
07/18/08
Del Toro proves that he doesn't just have a way with the poetic stuff: He can construct a nail-biter with the best of them.

Followed its terrific first half with a descent into horror movie formulaic crap.

Del Toro did what he set out to do, make an intelligent, enjoyable 'big bug' film.

It looks scary, but it doesn't feel scary. The elements are in place, but they're too familiar. Surprise is gone.
