Lucy feels like the work of a filmmaker who has recovered his mojo.

Lucy is insane, makes very little sense, doesn't stand up to scrutiny and is an absolute blast.

Love love love this movie. I have watched this film multiple times and it never gets old. It maybe far fetched but it is good for the brain sometimes to just let go not to mention 2 incredible actors Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman.

superb acting and a great story! I'll be looking out for part 2 which is supposedly in the making. imagine from where they could take off to extend the story.

It’s all ridiculous and enjoyable, and at the movie’s center is an actress creatively guessing at what omniscience might feel like.

Variety
Giddily recycling everything from “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “The Matrix” to yakuza actioners and National Geographic documentaries, it’s a garish, trippy, wildly uneven and finally quite disarming piece of work, graced by a moment-to-moment unpredictability.

The Dissolve
Lucy earns points for its unpredictable treatment of its vaguely superhero-ish premise and an appealing silliness, but it struggles to match wits with the genius at its center.

The junk in Lucy doesn't entirely eclipse the moments when weird is fun.

Besson has always demonstrated the ability to chuckle at the madness of his own material, and he provides some solid laughs from time to time. But these winks do nothing to erase the reality of a plot that becomes unintentionally hilarious.

Fun action movie schlock I enjoyed watching this. Cast were great. The concept was an interesting if overindulgent excuse to have an action movie with Scarlett Johansson as the lead. It reminded me a lot of lawnmower man only a more positive character instead of losing their humanity or going full akira or chronicle when gaining more intellect and power Lucy becomes a sort of benevolent force of nature.

Scarlet Johanson and Luc Besson's enthusiastic work makes Lucy smart and thrilling, but at the end, it exaggerates with it's unremarkable stunts and undeniably flawed characters.

It begins with an immense Darwinist bombardment, boasting science and depicting apes as quite stupid animals; then Lucy becomes a kind of immortal in life that begins to transcend memories and sensations beyond life itself: Hollywood's goal of stupefying its patients is fulfilled with this low quality work

One day a struggling screenwriter took some mushrooms, and while watching The Shawshank Redemption, started a script about a girl who takes the blue meth from breaking bad and it turns her into an emotionless metaphysical superhero. The result was Lucy. Its not very good.
