Actually, Lewtoons, Captain Underpants got his powers in the third one, where he drank that milk from the lunch cafeteria aliens. (Wow, I can't believe I still remember that)
Ya know, I recently reread the books (even though I'm well out of the age for when toilet humor was the only humor I liked) and I've got to say, I really enjoyed them. The books aren't ALL toilet humor. The writing can be pretty clever sometimes, making me chuckle out loud. So, I don't know, but I still really want to see this movie
yeah. i bought the 5 book set for my brothers before i took them. they were just as clever as i remember. and the movie translated that really well. it translated everything very well actually. it wasn't just a cash grab "make something stupid for kids and get a bunch of money" and not even look at the reference material. you could tell the people in charge and writers, ect, are fans of the books as well.
I can understand not liking this. BUT HOW THE HECK IS "BOSS, DREAMWORKS AT THEIR WORST, BABY" HIGHER THAN THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE AND STILL AT NUMBER 1???!!!
noobmaster117 oh yeah, this is the first video in a while that I haven't seen angry BATMAN IS BETTER THAN BOSS BABY comments around every corner. I also disagree with the placement of Batman
Which is stupid because essentially you're giving Studio Ghibli free advertising. You put a lot of work and effort into making these videos and big companies basically punish you for it by taking them down despite the whole Fair Use thing. I hope it doesn't deter you from making more countdowns in the future.
So this is one of the few movies where "It's a kid's movie" is a valid excuse. Since it's still, well, actually good. But... clearly better enjoyed by kids
This film was made BY fans of the books, FOR fans of the books, as well as kids. I'm 18 and I read the shit outta the books when I was younger and I had a blast with this film
TVBnine Eh, I was just going by what Lewtoons said, that was the impression I got. I didn’t mean to imply adults /can’t/ or shouldn’t enjoy this. If you had a blast, all the power to you!
Why? It won't be as good as Captain Underpants. The movie was a great adaptation of the books! Emoji Movie is just a movie about Yellow Circles with Faces and adding arms and legs.
@@starcourt4834 Welp, he is the man who praised Illumination Entertainment (as well as the wrong Sony Animation films like the Hotel Transylvania trilogy and the Open Season franchise, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs duology) or at least that could be a likely rumour) and treated LAIKA (by placing Kubo and the Two Strings lower than the top 5s on his list of ranking 2016 animations from worst to best) and other stop-motion studios like Aardman like people give it too much (more like "too little") credit!!
I was worried when this Movie was coming out cause I had a feeling people weren't going to like it cause of the Potty Humor. But I watched it, and I liked it. I loved some of the Jokes and Mostly the background Gags that I would catch myself being the only one laughing at them. Honestly, the Movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Plus it's his opinion, and his opinion will sometimes be an unpopular one. It's totally cool. (I personally haven't seen Boss Baby, so I can't really say what I think about it)
I will say, I think you missed some of the messages that it did have. Like George and Harold grow up a little bit by the end by excepting that if they get moved to a different classroom it's not the end of the world or the main thing, that the only reason Mr. Krupp was sad, mean, and cruel was because he was lonely and how George and Harold help him in the end. Now it might of helped that I read the books, all of them in fact, but I thought they nailed in perfectly with the jokes and not just the potty humor. Like when the secretary is on hold the entire movie, I fond that hilarious. Last thing is I like how it was self aware because George and Harold were a little bit in the books. That is all. (And he gets his powers in the 3rd book by drinking Alien Super Power Juice.)
As someone who don't know Captain Underpants. I actually enjoyed my time. While the poopy/fart jokes only got a smirk or a small snort out of me. I have a weakness for 4th wall breaking characters so I was surprised seeing those two kids interact with us. :)
I think the problem people have with your listing is the fact that some opinions make it sound like you hated it, but you put it higher on the list, but then you praise a film, and it is lower on the list. Because to me, from the way things were said, Rock Dog SHOULD be the worst on the list (you haven't seen Spark, but I don't blame ya since it was a limited release) because it's a mess of a film. Boss Baby is also not that spectacular due to how tonally inconsistent it is and how you just don't care about the characters. Still, I enjoy these videos and I think it's a good idea that you do these since your channel is pretty much dead besides the occasional video and live stream.
Great review, I really enjoyed this movie although you didn’t, but different people have different taste. Also, in the books Captain Underpants does not get his powers when he is hypnotized, so it’s the same as the movie.😄
My List: 1. The Lego Batman Movie 2. Captain Underpants 3. Smurfs Lost Village (it was charming; not really funny) 4. The Boss Baby 5. Rock Dog (Still better than Norm of the North and wasn't even that bad)
Also, I'm actually looking forward to the Emoji Movie. I'm praying it'll be better than everybody thinks it's gonna be. Slightly doubting it but I have hope. It doesn't look awful, looking at the trailers.
the books are fairly smart and "antiauthoritarian" (at least when authority is unfair and wants to repress kids). it was just disguised under all the "immature" kid humor. But thats why they were popular. the author knew what it was like to be a kid, and appealed to a kid's sense of humor without treating them like idiots or talking down to them. and i think the movie translated that perfectly. it was a really good, faithful adaption of the books. i'd put it up in my top 5 book adaptations
The good news is that a ton of us people can actually enjoy this, as I'm pretty sure they're still making the books. The new ones are always at bookfairs.
as much as I found the movie hilarious, I felt it would've been better if it were a hand - drawn animated series in the early 2000s. Heck, I could see this being on YTV or Nickelodeon in the early - mid 2000s.
THough I guess I'm curious about one thing. You are so damning of this film's humor, but you defended Ice Age: Collision Course's abundant use of butt jokes when this film doesn't really use them a lot. I guess I don't see why this one gets the hate hammer and Ice Age didn't....you were outright saying "it's okay that these films have butt jokes and immature potty humor because kids like it" which was one of the biggest piles of BS I have ever heard. Just because it's a kid's film it doesn't mean childish potty humor is the only kind of humor they can have.....
1:30 Nope Lewtoons. It wasn't until Book 3 when he drank some milk...that had an alien liquid mixed in! (OK It may have been orange juice but that's not the point)
Hey Chad, just an idea: How about next year you make "All animated movies of the year 19XX" (along with this series, I hope you keep up with it next year as well, cause it is great :D ) where you pick some random year and review all the movies that came during that year in the same format-comparing movies to each other. That way, you can help people discover some old hidden gems.
One. The Lego Batman Movie - Great Two. Smurfs The Lost Village - Ok Three. Rock Dog & The Boss Baby - Bad Four. Spark A Space Tail - Bad Five. Surfs Up 2: Wavemania - Bad i haven't seen captain underpants yet but i hope that's good because as you can tell 2017 has not gone so well for Animated Movies so far
I feel like this movie is really made to feed into nostalgia. People who didn't really read the books or never heard of them would probably not find it to be all that great, they can appreciate the acting and animation but not really connect with the story. I grew up absolutely loving Captain Underpants as a kid, it inspires me to this day, however the nostalgia still can't cover up the fact that the movie was sort of lacking in plot. I feel like they were trying to reference to many things at once in this. But I still feel this movie couldn't have been made any better
He doesn't get powers at the beginning. In middle school there were these three series that I remember reading and being obsessed with; Bones, Dear Dumb Diary, and Captain Underpants
Am I the only one here that never read these books? I do know a little about these books, but only what my two brothers decided to tell me and show me. Which was all potty jokes and the flip-o-rama thing. They thought it was hilarious and I thought it was stupid. But I guess I can't complain to much though. They never forced me to read them myself and it was the only book series my older brother would willingly read as a child. Good review, and keep up the good work.
Man though the Animation on this movie, spot on! Its so fluid and well done, aside from how to train your dragon, a really fantastic display of animation skills and transitions
1:30 Yeah. No the movie got that part right. Being hypnotized doesn't give you powers. In the book with the aliens posing as Cafeteria ladies, the kids give the Captain the juice that gives him the superpowers. Ever since then, he can fly and has super strength. His weaknesses though might in fact be tied to his hypnosis as they do seem to be more psychological that physical.
I was impressed. It was a weird combination of books 1,2,3, and 4. It broke the 4th wall a lot and was close to the books. Book 9 is the best book in my opinion. Its plot twists, dark ending, time travel, and the bad guy regretting his decision. Just great. the movie is about a 90% in my opinion.
The movie actually does flesh out its characters unlike the book. One of the main driving forces behind the plot is George and Harold's relationship. I don't want to spoil too much but friendship and being able to laugh (especially at yourself) are very important ideals in the movie. They also go into why Mr. Krupp, and why he 's such an overbearing authority figure. Correct me if I'm mistaken but he was just a straight up bad guy in the books. Also you didn't talk about the theme by Weird Al Yankovich. This is an injustice I must point out.
Captain U. gained super powers in the 3rd book after he drank some juice from space aliens. Remembering most of this is a guilty pleasure of mine. Captain U. inspired me to write and draw.
It's a very comedy based movie. Humor is a subjective matter, and when you make a movie surrounding a certain type of humor not everyone is going to like it. That doesn't make it bad, and there are going to be people who absolutely love it, but it shouldn't come as a surprise when a lot of people think it's 'meh'. Captain Underpants is it's own thing, and it takes advantage of what it is.
Actually Captian Underpants got his super powers in the third book. SPOILER WARNING So these aliens come from space and become Lunch ladies. The lunch ladies give the kids this type of probe in the food then everyone tries to attack George, Harold, and Captian U. They squad (George, Harold, and Captian U) get kidnapped in the lunch ladies' space ship where in order to escape without blowing the ship or the school up the squad then makes Captian U drink this super power potion saving them all.
I was smiling all the way through this movie, it was such a loveletter to the books I grew up with. I didn't think the fart jokes were funny but that's just because i'm 20 years old. Personally I thought it was a great movie i would definetely see again.
In the books the Captain drinks some Extra Strength Super Power Juice. The juice was originally going to be used by the evil alien lunchladies to super power a giant mutant dandelion.
He gets super powers in the third book by super power juice which also gives wedgie women her powers as well. Since Proffesser P.P.P doesn't appear till the 4th book, it makes it really weird that he's fighting him in the movie with no powers.
Yah the movie was an OK for me. We had a dozen kids when I saw it in the theater and it was strange. Like no one made a sound and I was sure that the kiddos would laugh a lot. Also who's decision was it to make it 3D?
Hmmm... Maybe no one has mentioned this, but *Captain Underpants got his powers in the third book and not from the 3D Hypno Ring itself*. Surely, no one else thought to mention this...!
Yes, Captain Underpants didn't get superpowers til the 3rd book. But the movie also got wrong that professor poopypants hated laughter. He actually just wanted everyone to also have a silly name.
I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that the movie is way better than we thought it would be. I was super excited, but I also thought it wa going to be terrible.
This is interesting. Being a Dreamworks film with a 36 million dollar budget this is the lowest of all animated films. they achieved this outsourcing the animation from Canada which could encourage other major studios to do the same
Now this guy is really something. He chose Boss Baby over Lego Batman, Rock Dog over Smurfs: The Lost Village, and now he would rather watch Boss Baby than this actually really decent movie.
I'm a grown man and I loved this movie. There was a lot of jokes for the adults for a kids movie and it was the perfect adaption of my childhood. I hope we get another movie with wedgie woman
See I was a kid who never got into captain underpants so when going to see this with my siblings both of whom are still in elementary school, I got a couple of giggles out of it. But I feel like it hit a point about 2/3 of the way through where the entire audience knew what the joke was going to be. Idk just my thoughts.
if the DVD of captain underpants comes out I'm gonna buy it and show it to my grandma and grandpa. they know about it as well except for the movie. I enjoy the movie. I watched it twice and it's still good
Captain Underpants did not have his powers from the get go. He got them in the third book, Captain Underpants and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Lunch Ladies from Outer Space{and the Subsequent Assault of the Equally Evil Lunchroom Zombie Nerds}. Yes I know that from memory. He got his powers from a juice that the alien lunch ladies had on their U.F.O.
i loved the books because they were silly and clever and had two protagonists with ADHD who weren’t treated like idiots. i loved the movie because it all translated so well and had some really gorgeous animation. i’m very emotional about this.
So, I have to movie Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, and for God's sake, it came with a cape. A friggin cape. Thank goodness I have a little sister who loves the books. -yes i have- -to give up- -a part- -of my room- -for captain- -underpants books-
was very disappointed with wonder women. started off great but i was very disappointed with the Ares and the end just turned into a generic super hero finale. It should be very empowering to women and wonder women herself was in my opinion the best part about the movie, but I'm seeing lot of reviews saying how brilliant and groundbreaking it was even though it has many flaws found in most other super hero films and even after reading an article outlining how the film is revolutionary for the super hero genre but yet I still place it in that 'generic category'
