To me, this movie is perfection.
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This film brought them to their roots as the Kick Ass Girls. I loved the gritty feel and the fact that this film was definitely made for older fans. Craig McCracken really did it right.
I really like this movie. Now this is one of those situations where if you hate the show then you will most likely hate the movie. Now this movie serves as a prequel to the show where it talks about how the girls were made and how they became the heroes of the town. But at first the people didn't take to kindly to them being around. Like when they first play tag. They go overboard and destroy the entire town. The people obviously don't take to kindly to that. Also when they are exiled from town and run away to space because they didn't know that they were actually working for Mojo Jojo who is a villain. He basically gives all monkey's in Townsville super intelligence which results in them destroying and takeover the town. It's so bad that even the professor doesn't know who to believe anymore. But after some arguing they finally agree to fight them back. And it is AWESOME! But I wish it wasn't so short because this movie is only 69 minutes. But I just simply wish there was more action. But anyway I really like this movie and the TV series. I just wish that it was a little longer and has more action. But like I said It's really good and kind of underrated to me.
A professor mixes several things together, including an experimental chemical, creating three bug-eyed, sweet little girls. Unsure of how to look after them, he names them Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup and enrolls them in school. They are unable to handle their destructive secret powers and mayhem ensues; meanwhile the professor's old lab experiment money has been altered by the chemical and has escaped with a genius but corrupt mind, bent on purposeful destruction.This film by far beats the Lorax (2012), Frozen (2013) and Despicable Me (2010). Although a dangerous chemical is involved, there is thankfully no preachy hippie environmental messages shoved into the plot. The soundtrack is catchy and at times funny, the voice acting was good and the animation was well-done. The three girls are slightly dorky as the do-good sweethearts, and they speak in whiny baby voices sometimes, but for a children's film it remains entertaining and comedic without the use of fart jokes or bad CGI effects. It certainly isn't bad as far as kid's movies go.
OK, I admit it - I am also an adult who like this for some reason. It's mindless fluff, and the series often has an occasional bit of in-humor that is amusing and shows the writers are my age, or at least have seen some of the same programs, commercials, and lived in LA like I have (The episode with the Dynamo, which is a direct rip-off of the Japanese monster movie genre in general and "Johnny Socko and his Giant Robot" in particular is wonderful).The problem with the film is that is you have ever felt rejected because you are different - maybe shy, maybe fat, maybe just plain out of place - the movie may open that part of your mind up just a bit. In a sense, the movie is a departure from the series in that it is darker and more violent, and they lost some of the fun that is inherent in the series.
