There's the obese Brando pretending to be God while dressed in gauzy white robes like a demented pope

Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
Rating: 2/4 --
The movie keeps switching focus without ever getting its bearings, and when Brando exits earlier than expected, there's little but mayhem to fall back on.
USA Today
Brando's performance is enormous fun, but it's not just a joke. He's hilarious and gently mesmerizing at once, and director John Frankenheimer savvily adjusts the tone of his movie to fit Brando's daft brilliance.

An often fascinating mess, but a mess all the same.

Muddled effort.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
It's not to say there's not a lot wrong with the film, but rather to suggest that the chief criticisms of it being strange and "a mess" aren't among them.

Film Freak Central
Roughly akin to watching a slow-motion train wreck in which the flames spread into the brush and become an out-of-control wildfire. What the hell happened?

Dr. Moreau is a brilliant geneticist on the brink of superseding evolution. When a U.N. diplomat visits Moreau's island laboratory, he uncovers fantastic but brutal experiments turning animal life forms into humanlike beasts. As Moreau and his assistant race toward their barbaric goal of creating the perfect life-form, the beasts revolt, threatening not only the island but ultimately all mankind.
