It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This film must be watched a lot of times. Dick Figures: The Movie is way better than the TV show of the same.
"Dick Figures: The Movie" is a hilarious epic story about two friends named Red and Blue and their quest to recover the legendary Sword of Destiny. If you're looking for a great comedy, this is it. This movie has action, drama, and of course a hefty dose of raunchy humor. This is definitely not a kids' movie, as you might infer from the title. There is a lot of profanity, sexual references, violence, and more. Think "South Park" without the annoying voices. I recommend this for anyone who likes movies such as "Pineapple Express", "Ted", "Dumb and Dumber", "Shaun of the Dead", or others like that. It has some stoner humor like Pineapple Express, a cute talking animal like Ted, a hilarious epic road trip like Dumb and Dumber, and tons of action and one-liners like Shaun of the Dead. Some of the humor is related to the original web-series, so you'll get more out of it if you watch some Dick Figures episodes first. They are all free on YouTube.Bottom line: if you haven't seen it, check it out!
Zack Keller and Ed Skudder have, after setting up a Kickstarter campaign, and lots of hard work, finally released the long awaited "Dick Figures:The Movie" for fans of the web series. Compared the the Mondo web series "dick figures" on Youtube, it has an improved animation style. The backgrounds are more detailed, helping make the surroundings feel more lively. The fight scenes in this film are excellently animated, and fans will definitely not be disappointed by these.The film however does have some shortcomings. The writing style is reminiscent of the web series, and while the type of humor works well for short animations on Youtube, it is less suited for an animation with a 72 minute running time. However, it did have its fair share of funny moments, and some might even make you laugh.The main characters of the web series, namely Red and Blue, do have some more depth to them, as compared to the web series. Blue in particular grows as an individual throughout the events of the movie. The conflict between the two also makes their relationship seem more dynamic, as opposed to static, as it is in the web series. While a static relationship is more suited for a short web series, a dynamic one is much better suited for a film, and this is one of the areas where it really shines.To conclude, the film has its ups and downs. The fighting scenes (the car chase scene in Paris in particular) have been animated very well, and are very entertaining. The conflict between Red and Blue adds some much needed depth. However, it still has the feel of a web series, due to slapstick humor, flat background characters, and it being slightly too random at times. At times, it feels like they bit off more than they could chew.
Before this movie is watched it's important to remember what it is, namely a film geared at people familiar with the franchise.By producing the film independently it contains the same humour, animation and production quality as the web series, but in a refreshingly new form. There's some notably well put-together scenes and the film as a whole was generally enjoyable to watch.Turning a short web cartoon into a film could almost only go wrong but they have managed to pull it off.It would be great to see where the series goes next for the pair, but let's see how this film rides out for them.
