"'Firefly' is a magnificent epic that comes once in decades." — 100 points, Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com.
The famous rating website MetaCritic featured an exclusive special report titled "Firefly Conquers the Critics: Review Watch," where Firefly scored an impressive 95 points, while Wang Yang's previous controversial work 'The Devil Wears Prada' scored only 45 points.
"I've said it before and I'll stress it again, 'Firefly' is not only the highest-rated movie of the year so far, but it's also one of the top-ranked films in our entire database over the last decade, with 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' scoring just 94 points. Out of the 45 reviews we tallied, except for one moderate review, all were positive, including some critics who have not been fond of Wang Yang's work and even those who had fought with him over 'The Devil Wears Prada.'
