The Electric State, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, has received overwhelmingly negative reviews, with critics labeling it everything from a waste of money to an 'actively annoying' experience. Despite some praise for visual effects and individual performances, like that of Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, most critics agree that these elements do not make up for the film's flaws. A rare positive review from Empire suggests the film is watchable, but overall, it appears that the high-budget production has fallen short of expectations, raising questions about the directors' current creative choices.
The Electric State begs for playfulness, dynamism, some sense of dash and charm. Honestly, it could use the comic expertise of the Joe and Anthony Russo of 20 years ago.
Even critics that liked certain aspects of Electric State... largely agreed that the positives weren’t enough to salvage the film as a whole.
Empire's John Nugent offered rare praise by calling the film a 'breezily watchable retrofuturistic jolly' that has 'just enough juice.'
