The Kernel take
Lucy's 62 Metascore represents solid critical approval for a film that cost $40M and has grossed $469M worldwide—a profitable venture that suggests middling reviews didn't deter audiences from Besson's high-concept spectacle.
Director track record: Luc Besson
Lucy (62) sits well above Luc Besson's own 48.5-point average across 13 scored films—a standout effort that trails his best-reviewed work, Nikita (65), but marks a significant departure from his typical critical reception.
Lead track record: Scarlett Johansson
Lucy (62) sits above Scarlett Johansson's own 57.4-point average across 26 scored films—one of her more favorably reviewed efforts, though it trails her best-reviewed work, Lost in Translation (91), by a considerable margin.
