Simply A Masterpiece
Just perfect...
Excellent but underrated film
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
This movie is so cool! It was funny, had an interesting plot, and I thought the effects were decent, at least by Cartoon Network standards. I've heard people say this movie is just trying to be an edgy gaming show when I don't think that's the case. Some things in this movie are pretty impressive and makes me think how much effort was put into the film. I mean I think it's parodying World of War craft and I think it shows, the characters are gamers who are also good characters think a glitch world is a beta test level or expansion pack which, wouldn't you think it is! Also they end up in the game and the models are so low quality and the animation is awful! and that is so true to games like that. 2 gripes I have with the movie is the game developer Max or whoever he was very bland and forgettable, but they fix him in the TV series and the ending is stupid, but those are just 2 nitpicks in an otherwise great movie. So if you got the time check it out and start rocking to that awesome theme.
What can I say that has not been said in the previous reviews? Not withstanding that this "Thing", and I must stress Thing, I so bad that I wanted to gouge my eyes out of the sockets. I've been playing online games for years, and this show is plain insulting and so bad that I recommend burning the film so it does not contaminate anything good Cartoon Network might have in the future. Mainly the acting was not just sub par, but downright miserably bad. As for the cg, I don't even want to go into that. I can probably do a better job with a pen and some dirty pages strewn together. If you have any self respect, and or have at least a modicum of taste, stay away from this horror
I played WoW few years ago so I was kinda nostalgic to see series about MMORPG-s. I expected it to be "unrealistic", but hey, some things cannot be transfered to TV screen...But this is just awful, I really cannot imagine that someone actually allowed this to be shot, put money in it. It has some silly/funny/kinda entertaining moments, but mostly I couldn't believe how bad it is...Of course they had to put in moralistic lesson about sticking with friends, which I guess is a must in this kind of series.Props look ridiculous but I guess they were going for that look.In the end I kinda think I am targeted audience, people who play/played games, but I cannot imagine watching this now or when I was younger.But I bet there wont be 2nd episode... If there will.. I will watch 2nd episode just for being wrong :p
This show is absolutely horrible. As a fan of MMO's and all things nerdy, I find this show to be quite insulting. The premise is tired and outdated, the CG is painful to watch, and the "acting" is less than B-movie quality. Not sure who their target audience is for this, maybe children under twelve. Although, the jokes and pop culture references seemed to be aimed at people in their 20's. Yes, I know this is being shown on Cartoon Network, but seriously. Overall, a weak attempt to cash in on MMO/nerd demographic. Want a good show about MMO's with a story and cast you can get behind? Go watch The Guild. Hopefully, big studios will eventually get this subject correct and do a little bit of research before they decide to try this again.
