ridiculous lol February 7, 2010 Robert A. Thiffeault (Preston, CT) mad funny haha if you like cartoons, violence, strippers, semi-porn, ridiculous out of the ordinary films this is a great one!
Big let-down February 7, 2010 army103 (Wisconsin-USA) I've always loved Rob Zombie, so I had really high hopes for this movie. I'm a big fan of animation in general, and bizarre, nonsensical cartoons in particular, but this film just didn't do anything for me. Within the first five minutes I had lost all interest in watching any further; I forced myself to watch all the way to end anyway, anticipating something that would draw me into the story, but alas, it never came.
There were gratuitous amounts of violence & toon nudity, but it came from out of nowhere and didn't go anywhere. I didn't walk into this expecting Shakespeare or anything, but despite the appeal of wild themes like zombie Nazis & monster strip clubs, from start to finish the whole thing just felt stupid & pointless. A couple of jokes landed nicely, but 9 out of 10 were just plain lame (despite being punctuated with unnecessary boobs or decapitations).
Ultimately, I rented this movie for a dollar and still felt pretty ripped off.
On a final note, I have no idea where people are getting the idea that the animation was epic - I was pleasantly reminded of Ren & Stimpy cartoons, but it sure wasn't anything special.
almost every joke and style is derived from someone else's animation January 12, 2010 G. Martinez (San Francisco, CA United States) I really looked forward to this. It was the first blu ray I ever owned. I had read the reviews and was looking forward to adding a cult classic in the making to my brand new blu ray collection.
The animation was limited, but decent enough to tell the jokes. the animators were very funny.
It was pretty weak from start to finish. It felt like every joke had been confiscated from some other better cartoon. I feel like it stole from Southpark, family guy, Venture Brothers, Futurama, Invader Zim, Looney Tunes, and Ren and Stimpy. But mostly Ren and Stimpy. For example, there were so many zoom in shots where the simple line drawing became a detailed rendering of something disgusting. Very Kricfalusi. There was even the fog horn sound effect in these shots. What also felt like john kricfalusi was the female sex kittens in the show, but they weren't drawn as well. I kept waiting to see some special thanks to John K. maybe I missed it. I was anxious to remove it from my player.
Imagine if Rob Zombie got high with Quintin Tarantino in the editing room of Inglorious Basterds, went home watched Ren and Stimpy the Lost Episodes snorted 15 lines of "It's okay to tweak the joke if it's homage" then wrote this in 2 binge drunk days.
maybe rent but don't buy.
Two wolf nazi zombie thumbs up. December 21, 2009 Craig Cammarata I had a blast watching this movie. Great songs, over the top vulgarity. very funny.
I enjoyed it, however December 15, 2009 Erin Atchinson It tends to drag with some of the musical numbers. That's really my only complaint with the movie. Otherwise it was very entertaining.
