Gary Arnold · Washington Post 75.00/100.00

One may feel limitations on the dramatic side, but Bridge is an unqualified pictorial achievement.

Ian Nathan · Empire 60.00/100.00

This sprawling epic rewards patience with an emotional pay-off and non-triumphant ending that reminds us all too starkly of the sacrifices made during war.

Vincent Canby · The New York Times 70.00/100.00

The movie is massive, shapeless, often unexpectedly moving, confusing, sad, vivid and very, very long.

Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 50.00/100.00

The movie's big and expensive and filled with stars, but it's not an epic. It's the longest B-grade war movie ever made.

Staff (Not Credited) · Variety 60.00/100.00

Futility and frustration are the overriding emotional elements in A Bridge Too Far, Joseph E. Levine's sprawling Second World War production [from the novel by Cornelius Ryan] about a 1944 military operation botched by both Allied and German troops.
