I don’t understand…who actually LIKES this kind of movie, and why?
The only reason I even gave this a 1 was because I couldn't give it a 0 and the stop motion animation was well done and I'd like to recognize the people who worked on that.
Also, the little girl looks like Felicity Jones, only 10 years old.
This was the last appearance of Leonor Varela as Marta (and wow, was she a knockout! You can see why Michael would fall for her.)
After this episode, Marta was played by Patricia Velasquez.
This is the most enjoyable animated movie I've seen in a long time. Funny, touching, great message, clever, somehow formulaic and yet unique at the same time. Enjoyable for kids all the way up to adults.
How Jerry Seinfeld kept even a semi-straight face during Bookman's tirade at his apartment must have been an effort worthy of the Superman statue famously on the shelves behind him. :joy:
Gotta give him credit. He didn't shy away from the negative stuff that both happened to him in his life and the negative stuff that he caused to others. Not having Maria Shriver or any of his kids in it at all as interviewees feels like a loud commentary on how she still feels about him and all of that. Nevertheless, I learned a bunch of stuff I didn't know and enjoyed the series overall.
This might be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. How could the guy who created the hilarious King of the Hill make something so unfunny and stupid?
Woof. Parents & grown-ups beware, this one is for the kids only. Felt like a soft launch for a Saturday morning cartoon series. Ties into characters & moments from the film series but seems to be missing the actual fun & funny from the movies.
This is not just the funniest episode of "Bluey" but probably the funniest thing I've seen in weeks, period.
Hilarious writing, especially for a kids show.
This show has really gone downhill the last few seasons and gone is most of my enjoyment in watching it. I'm just playing out the string at this point. I was actually surprised that it got renewed for a 10th season.
Barry has become an irritating caricature, beyond even what he was in the first couple of seasons; Erica and Geoff do not have a healthy relationship, no matter how cutesy they try and make it, or how much they try and undo 20 minutes of problematic interactions in the final 2 minutes of an episode;
Only Adam & Beverly seem to be consistently written and not deliberately unlikeable anymore. Rowan Blanchard was the best of the several love interests for Adam and she only lasted 1 season.
The show began to decline as soon as creator Adam F. Goldberg left the show. Since episode plots are no longer based on events from his life the writers can do what they want with the characters (and they have been--see the negative changes to Erica & Barry above).
The transparent attempts to make it look like Adam's dad is still around even though Jeff Garlin is not part of the show anymore are laughable (but not in the good way); Murray needs to pass away in the show, even if the real Murray is still alive.
I can't believe I just spent this much time writing a complaint about the show. Let that be a tribute to how enjoyable the show was for me at one point in its run and how frustrated I am that this is where it has gone.
This thing was terrible. I couldn't finish it. Had to leave the kids to finish it on their own. Apparently, bobbleheads have a code of honor? And save babies from neglectful parents? And... I just can't.
I totally get why this never got released theatrically.
Way too gross & vulgar to watch as a family, but it did have some humorous moments.
Mistook this for "Benny and Joon" at the video store back in the 1990's. Got quite the surprise when I got home and watched it. Wondered when Johnny Depp was going to finally show up. He never did.
Wow. It is an amazing feat of writing to make the most pathetic and annoying character in the original cartoon (Orko) into a nuanced, sympathetic character. Congrats to Smith & the writers on that!
Credit Kevin Smith for figuring out that when Adam says he's the "defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull" in the opening credits of the original cartoon, the writers back then never really ever mentioned or dealt with what those secrets actually WERE in the episodes themselves.
Whether you like or dislike what happens in this episode of "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" (and through the series) it seems that an earnest effort was made to actually move the characters along (on both the good side and bad side) and give them some depth instead of just starting over with a reboot/reimagining like they've tried once or twice before. That alone I applaud.
Sheesh. Let's just say there's a reason this series isn't called "HE-MAN and the Masters of the Universe: Revelation." Maybe the main character that launched everything will show up for more than 30 seconds (flashbacks don't count) in the next five episodes. Having said that, everything else was done pretty well through the first half of the series, from voice casting to improved animation to a more high-stakes story. Kevin Smith has done a solid expansion of what was formerly a pretty harmless TV show for little kids. I agree that it was a better choice to continue the story of the previous show than create another from-scratch rebooted version.
HIGHLY enjoyable and the standard by which all future TV show reunions should be measured. A great mix of now/then, reminiscing, reappearances and behind-the-scenes video and stories. I originally wanted to see a scripted reunion, but I found this to be far more satisfying. Well done!
Been watching the series through for the first time (even though it ended a few years ago) and this has been, BY FAR, the episode that I have laughed the hardest at. Axl's "parenting" skills, especially when he holds the toy baby in front of the microwave and the cry becomes all distorted, or when he tries to fix it by taking it apart with a screwdriver is making me laugh again right now as I type this.
There is no logical explanation as to why I (secretly) love this movie. It makes me laugh every. single. time. It must be the perfect casting, Steve Zahn especially. This movie and "That Thing You Do" are his two funniest roles, IMO. Neil Diamond's appearance (and actual role in the movie) is the icing on the inexplicably delicious cake.
It didn't get much traction in 1986 because of the Challenger shuttle disaster just a few months prior, but most kids I know (including me) really liked the film. I originally watched it just because of my crush on Lea Thompson, but it was a fun and memorable movie that I still have fond feelings for. The scene where the team trains in the shuttle simulator had me laughing to tears.
This was a fun little bit of retconning. The 2008 Incredible Hulk post-credits scene was originally intended to continue the setup of the Avengers being formed to go after the Hulk (which was actually a plot line from the original Avengers comics in the 1960's--in fact, the Avengers chasing the Hulk was how they discovered frozen Captain America in the comics). But once the story for 2012's Avengers became the invasion of New York by aliens they needed to explain why the heck Tony Stark would show up to talk to Ross at all, let alone in a bar. So like I said, a fun bit of retconning.
Frustrating movie because the story had potential and the two leads are enjoyable to watch. But the movie relies too heavily on lame in-jokes that only members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will get, and lazy stereotypes of both Mormons and Baptists. I wanted to like and laugh at this movie after seeing the trailer, but for me, the occasional chuckles didn't offset the lack of character depth and story development.
For some reason, Boner's thinking he heard the voice of God from the heater vent and Mike saying, "That's just Jimmy." B: "That's what you call Him?" has always cracked me up. Then later B comes downstairs and says, "What in the name of Jimmy is going on around here?"
I have said that line so many times to myself ever since. Sometimes I say it to others and just get a weird look. :laughing:
This movie would have been a horrible watch if I hadn't seen it with my kids. But I did watch it with them, and we all enjoyed it. My 7-year old twins thought it was absolutely hilarious and even as a grown up I thought there were some clever sight gags & silly situations that nonetheless made me chuckle. I personally appreciated that the content was fairly innocent and it wasn't a whole movie with nothing but bodily function jokes.
Will Poulter will never, EVER have a moment, not just in his acting career, but in his entire life that will top making out with Emma Roberts and Jennifer Aniston at the same time. Good for him!!!
I have missed this version of Jim Carrey SO MUCH! For the first time in a long time, he's back to being the crazy, elastic, physical comedian that he once was in "Ace Ventura" & "The Mask". Overall, "Sonic the Hedgehog" is so-so as a movie and I'd almost rather they had animated EVERYTHING instead of just Sonic, but Carrey is like a living cartoon when he's on his game, and James Marsden does a pretty good job of being funny too. I've liked Tika Sumpter in everything I've seen her in. Also glad they fixed how Sonic looked...although based on the story in the movie it at least makes a bit of sense as to why they originally animated him to look a little more human. Kids will definitely enjoy this one (my 10 & 6-yr old sons sure did).
Inexplicably hilarious. Don’t know how to say it better than that.
I loved this movie. The more I think about it, the more I like it. It's really the tale of the power and positive impact that genuine goodness can have on others. I felt like this did tell the tale of Fred Rogers, just not in a direct, shine-the-spotlight-on-him way--which from all the interviews I've ever seen and everything I've ever read about the man and his personality, seems an appropriate way to do it.
I think the fact that it's based on a true story makes it all the more impressive. I left the theater wanting to be a better and more genuine person that can make a positive impact on others. Can't say the last movie that had that kind of an impact on me.
Good cast. Decent first episode. Goggins plays the clueless-to-his-own-situation well. Corddry is funnier with the language restraints network TV puts on him. (Bonus: Bianca Kajlich sighting!) Interested to see where this goes.
A handful of chuckles hardly warrants having to sit through this entire movie. It's a comedy sketch that doesn't translate to feature length. Oh, Glynis Johns, why did you have to fall so far?!
This was one of the most poorly-animated and worst-written Christmas "special" I've ever seen. PLEASE don't waste your time. What a waste of a talented voice cast.
