I probably should have been more clear on that part. It's not THAT they break the 4th wall that's bad, it's that they do it in a way that is terrible. There is an art to 4th wall breaking and you, Mr. Deadpool sir, are a master artist. That's why when that movie does it in a way that's unfunny, it gets them nowhere
"They tried to keep the original spirit of Yogi bear instead of modernizing it for the younger kids." Oh, believe me. Yogi learned to avoid the massive landmine of modernization long ago.
So what you're saying is that the Squeakquel would make slightly more sense if, instead of attending a normal human high school, the Chipmunks had to attend a special high school with other talking animals? Now that's a movie I want to watch.
hello, are you there? I don't know if this is a glitch but I think youtube is making your comment unreadable, the same thing happened yesterday... oh well, I just reply so someone can tell me
Agreed. At least in the first one the chipmunks origins seemed believable and the film at least attempted to get their personas right. The other ones were just milk machines.
"Breaking the fourth wall will get you nowhere." Say that to Spaceballs, Deadpool, Chowder, House of Cards, Fight Club, Monty Python's Meaning of Life, Wayne's World, Wolf of Wall Street, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
DarkSoul712 yeah because the Romeo and Juliet law lecture and optimus prime acting like a human killing asshole was defientely missing from the other two.
Doki Doki Horonigaidesu Gumiworm Z Well it's getting the "Movie Universe" treatment so lets hope that goes just as well as it did for Spiderman and Dracula....if you know what I mean.
The Animated Films based on Cartoons are WAY BETTER THAN THESE, in my eyes. for example The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, Abracatastrophe (Fairly Odd Parents), Rugrats Movie and its sequel Rugrats In Paris, The Powerpuff Girls Movie, Mr Peabody & Sherman (2014), Wild Thornberrys Movie, Hey Arnold the Movie etc
actually, i found adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle a great movie adaptation. That's the only movie adaptation of a cartoon that THEY GOT RIGHT they put the humor over the actual story and the jokes, like the show, are purposely really good and occasionally really bad. They did the same thing with the movie
Okay, let me try to explain why they went with CGI for Rocky and Bullwinkle and live-action casting for Natasha, Boris, and Fearless Leader: because CGI for humans back in 2000 was BAD. Very bad. If Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within hasn't dated all too well, then there's no way the movie would date okay had they rendered the cartoon humans as CGI. As for Rocky and Bullwinkle, while they could (and should) have rendered Moose and Squirrel as 2D (so they can justify the gag of the 2D weasel getting killed), they made them CGI in order to give them actual depth when regarding their interactions with humans. Of course this is all negated with Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but you know...
The CGI on Rocky and Bullwinkle looks incredibly ugly to look at & keep in mind. It was made in 2000! When CGI was still in its infancy, even Titan AE, a film that was made during the same year, has CGI that's dated but still pretty to look at.
MrWildcard531 He review most of them ,i'm not sure if he's going to review Yogi Bear. And also i want form Nostalgia Critic & AniMat (ElectricDragon505) to review the god awful piece of Sh*t Recess: School's Out (2001).
+Delilah “Lee” Johnson It isn't a very good plot the villain just builds a machine to try to get rid of summer and make school go all year round to bring up the kids grades.
Oh it did all right. Many people criticized it for straying too far from its original source material and the character's personality got downplayed to where it doesn't even feel like Kim at all.
+RabbitHole20 He probably should have been more clear on that part. It's not THAT they break the 4th wall that's bad, it's that they do it in a way that is terrible. There is an art to 4th wall breaking and Deadpool, is a master artist. That’s why when that movie does it in a way that's unfunny, it gets them nowhere.
Deadpool is an exception since his whole character is a guy who fucks with the whole marvel universe. Like rick from rick and morty breaks the 4th wall all the time.
Watch the Nostalgia Critic review of Rocky and Bullwinkle. He surprisingly calls it a very faithful adaptation of the cartoon, right down to the fact that the story and characters are just an excuse to make jokes which even then, some are good and some are bad. He says that's what the cartoon is and that's what the movie is.
I'll admit, I still enjoy Inspector Gadget, the Chipmunk films, and Yogi Bear.... but they've got nothing on the original shows. Nothing will ever top the original shows.
My thoughts on these movies: 10. It's too nostalgic for me to hate or dislike it. 9. I thought it was funny. (Oh, and in the scene at 7:08, I think he did it that way on purpose to parody the cliched and overused apology scene.) 8. I've never seen it, not sure if I want to. 7. Michael Bay should just stop. 6. The first one was already way more than enough. 5. Am I the only one here who didn't think it was that bad?
+ejl423 At #5....yes, you are. Me?!?! As a true fan of the Inspector Gadget franchise, I found this movie to be very offensive and insulting. They didn't get Gadget's character right, they treated Penny's like she didn't matter at all and they really fucked up Dr. Claw's character in the movie. They got nothing right with this movie. That's why I'd rather stick with the cartoons and the new Netflix TV show instead of re-watching the live-action ever again. Because, I'm still waiting for an actual animated movie reboot of Inspector Gadget to happen. One that's being handled by people who actually did grew up with the cartoons and respect the original material that's being given to them.
Actually my opinion on #5 has changed some. I watched it again a couple times recently, and every single flaw became more and more obvious, but I still like it, albeit only as a guilty pleasure.
ejl423 I just saw this movie weeks ago on Showtime and I honestly didn't think it was that funny to begin with. I mean seriously, I just found the movie to be rather boring. Plus, I don't even get why Andy Dick is even in this movie, because he's just not that good of a comedic actor. So again...why is Andy Dick even in this movie?! He's just boring. I liked him better as the voice of Nuka in The Lion King II. And that's it. But whatever, that's nostalgia for you.
***** I guess. Well, I wonder how long it's gonna be until there is an announcement for an upcoming movie or a TV series reboot of Speed Racer in the near-future?!?!?!
+pytko3 To be fair, The Last Airbender could have worked if Nick hadn't screwed it up it. Seriously, look for Shyamalan's original script. It's the reason he was given the OK to make the movie.
To be entirely fair to Revenge of the Fallen, the “Terminator” was actually rooted in Transformers lore. She’s what’s known as a Pretender. They were introduced near the end of the first generation, and they were known for having humanoid “shells”. Such fan-favorite characters as Bludgeon were actually introduced as Pretenders.
@@DarkPhoenixSaga it had a couple of movies actually (if u mean the 80-90's cartoons) i remember watching the Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman and Meet Frankenstein and the one where they go around the world (i dunno the name of it Tho) i know two songs from that one like Getting lucky and boys and girls of rock and roll. I'm pretty sure there are more movies tho
I would've enjoyed it better if it weren't for the unfunny jokes and the unneeded love interest for the girl. He could've been removed from the film and it wouldn't make much of a difference and it wouldn't lose too much plot.
I actually liked the first Alvin and the Chipmunks movie! However, I hated 2 and 3. They were just....bad. I HATE THE CHIPETTES!!!! Grrr, they make me mad.
kaiju kun64 Yeah, making Ian a "good guy" in the third one was a dick move. What's going to be the plot of the fourth one without him as a villan anyway??? I mean, even that female from the third one can't be the villan for the fourth one, because SHE TOO changed her mind about being evil at the end. It would have been awesome if the fourth one was about her plotting her revenge, but NOPE!
well get ready for the fourth alvin and the chipmunks movie which at this point is really only being made just to cash in on more pop culture and make money
My responses to the list: 10. I actually barely remember seeing this movie when it first came to theaters. I was only 6 and didn't get what was going on. A couple of years later, I saw the actual show and adored it, laughed uncontrollably, and so on. I still love it - though I hate cliffhangers. When I remembered that a movie was made about it I thought, surely it wasn't that good. I wasn't invested when I saw the trailer, and the movie certainly didn't grab my attention as a kid. 9. Even though I liked this one a bit, I really hated the squeezed in environmental message that got rushed. I don't hate the message itself, but it was done in the most cliched, predictable, and loudly unsubtly in your face way that I couldn't help but hate it. I enjoyed the bears and laughed at the species lady, but the rest was………….eh or ugh! 8. Haven't seen the cartoon, but good grief, did it really have to teleport to our world? Thanks to other movies "based" on cartoons, I can already count all the cliches that come from that! Someone stop making crappy movies based off of more original cartoons! 7. Also haven't seen either movie or cartoons, but my sister keeps telling me that at least the first movie was really good. From what everyone else says it seems like if the rest of the movie was fast forwarded to the action scenes nobody would miss the story. Am I right? And doesn't Optomis Prime die in the cartoons? 6. THANK YOU!! AND INCLUDE THE OTHER MOVIES TOO!!!!! I tolerated the first movie, second kinda tolerated (hopefully the other sequels will be mentioned for how horrendous they are). I don't care if these guys are so cute and adorable I despise them! Even Papa, who grew up with the cartoon, said that this movie makes them so unrecognizable from what they originally were. Way to go, movies! 5. I eventually saw some episodes from the show and was having fun, though I still would like to know why Penny couldn't get gadgets, and I could listen to Dr. Claw's voice all day! This movie……………….Matthew Broderick, why? I know can be great and he's trying, but good grief I don't know if the writer is to blame, the director, or him. And I'm going to go with what the Nostalgia Critic said and say that Rupert Everret is not Dr. Claw! Oh and here's one more spit in the face on the cartoon: Brain in the end credits actually gets voiced by the original Inspector Gadget. Though I actually heard the sequel (though very panned by critics) is actually closer to the original cartoon than this movie was, like Dr. Claw is not revealed.
The only real issue I had with Gadget 2, was Penny was a redhead. In the first movie, she sort of had the right shade. I actually liked G2, the full android... Although she'd not be my first choice to be Penny's aunt. Friend (although "adult") yes, but not aunt.
Although I think it was pretty cool having films based on cartoons made by the creators of the shows for the Honorable Mentions, he could've probably had "Tom and Jerry: The Movie" as a Dishonorable Mention.
I know you are you and you have your opinions, but don't try and hate on fandoms. I bet once you saw the words "Pinkie Pie", you didn't think and just assumed it was something about MLP.
"If it can kill the reputation of Mario and Zelda, then surely it can kill the reputation of a cartoon moose and squirrel." Leslie Nielsen: It sure can all right. And don't call me Shirley.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has amazing potential as a movie series. Its comic book roots portray it as an intriguing sorcery/science mishmash adventure, combining barbarism with technology and boasting a wide range of unique characters, from aliens to cyborgs to wizards. If writers took this one step further and introduced modern CGI and a darker, more serious tone, the results on the big screen could be simply amazing. "but no hemans gay he es nacked lol" - Internet
T.J. Miller IS a good actor half the time. In Yogi Bear, he just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible and didn't try to emote properly because the studio forced him at gunpoint to star in this movie and they'd give him $3 million.
God I hate revenge of the fallen yeah pretty much all of the bayformers suck in their own way and bumblebee and rise of the beasts are the actual good transformers movies but honestly I enjoyed age of extinction because despite being too long and having endless product placement but at least Cade Yeager isn’t screaming his head off 24/7 and there’s no toilet humour and I can remember who the autobots are outside of bumblebee and Optimus you’re doing something wrong when I’m asking who the Scottish autobot is. Like here’s how it is for me Transformers 2007: don’t like it Revenge of the fallen: worst movie ever and I hate it Dark of the moon great final battle but it’s still bad Age of extinction: the only decent one The last knight: what the hell were they thinking Bumblebee: why did it take them 11 years to make this movie Rise of the beasts: pretty good
I will personally vouch for the rocky and bullwinkle movie. It was a very faithful adaptation that kept true to its nonsensical story material it had to begin with. The cartoon had a very simple premise - fearless leader had an evil scheme which Boris and Natasha would try to carry out, and while they are mostly oblivious to all of the schemes in some of the deadly plans, rocky and bullwinkle end up saving the day. It was heavily vocally based with very little action but it was made up for in sharp wit. The movie was pretty close, upping both the intense wordplay and some of the action. It even took a jab at itself for knowing that roger rabbit came out before it, and they know the live action/animation movie idea has been done before. Overall the movie had a very dedicated cast and crew that knew what rocky and bullwinkle source material deserved in order to make the movie greater as a result.
To be fair the chipmunks do attend school in the original animated series. Although, I think they were in elementary in that one. And we see them attend school in their animated film, Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman. But, I do agree that Alvin should not have been trying so hard to be popular and fit in with the football team because like you said they're freakin famous and you'd think those football players would want to be seen hanging out with international famous pop stars and asking for their autographs instead of making fun of Simon and Theodore all the time. Also while I have admittedly never seen the Inspector Gadget cartoon even I could tell the live action movie was bad and I think I know why it was so bad and apologies ahead of time for the trite answer. The main reason I believe the live action Inspector Gadget movie is so bad is simply because it is live action. Face it, there are reasons why certain special effects only look right when done in animated format. This is also why when those same effects are transferred into a live action movie that they come off as cheesy. We need only to look at all those cheesy live action superhero/wizard shows Disney and Nick throws at us as further evidence of this fact. Also you can get away with a heck a lot more in cartoons than you do in live action. These reasons among others are the reasons why 90% of the time live action film adaptations of cartoons and videogames will never work out right and why fully animated movie adaptations have a higher chance at succeeding. Bottom line: if you attempt to recreate a popular animated show especially one that is old in live action format you will fail 90% of the time and that is me being nice. This move is also almost as bad and as stupid as transforming a popular, highly acclaimed action show into a watered down comedy. Almost.
I actually like "Inspector Gadget" a whole bunch. It has all the components I find attractive in a movie and I still remember scenes from it to this day that make me laugh, and I even think it balances trying to be its own thing while still faithful to the spirit of the cartoon, albeit slightly more "local." I don't know. I just really like it.
Honestly I didn't mind The Adventures of Rocky and Bulwinkul maybe because it was based off one of my favorite shows or because of that cameo from Kennen and Kel
I will say this about the Transformers movies. Say what you will about whether they're good or bad, you have to admit that the scores for them done by Steve Jablonsky are really well done.
10. I remember that film. Totally forgettable. 9.Is shit 8.Never seen it 7.Crap 6.17:20 Hey that's Flynn Rider/Eugene Fitzherbert from Tangled aka Zachary Levi. Should have been called 'Eugene Fitzherbert and the Chipmunks'. 5.Terrible The only reason I liked the second Alvin & The Chipmunks film was for Zachary Levi.
To reference Animat's question of this movie, why were Rocky and Bullwinkle CGI-based, the weasel was hand-drawn animated, and Fearless Leader, Boris and Natasha live-action? I know that they were trying out computer animation back at the time it was released, and the humans were meant to be played in live-action, but it doesn't make sense.
There’s only one thing that’s good about the gadget movie the intro and it’s theme but the rest is a complete disappointment and belongs to the biggest trash can we’re all movies failed
Transformers 2 suffered from the writers strike. And Michael Bay had apologized about the movie and tried to fix the mistakes with the third movie. But he did not learn any of the mistakes when he made Transformers 4 & 5. And I hope to never experience those movies ever again. But Steve Jablonsky's music in those movies were on fire.
AWildAdventurerAppeared RU-vid vids and such Yeah, some of the characters can be pretty stereotypical, the plot can sometimes be really predictable but I still enjoy it, and hey, it´s better than those shitty modern dan schneider shows.
I think they did two major flaws with Inspector Gadget. What made Claw work as a villain....what made him scary....was YOU NEVER SAW HIM. You just see the arm and hear the creepy threatening voice and that was enough. In this one, he's just clearly seen and he acts ridiculous so you don't take him seriously as a villain. And they couldn't even get a blonde girl to play Penny.
When I was watching the 25th anniversary concert of The Phantom of the Opera with my dad, and the part in 11:43 came up, I stg I nearly started dying of laughter because it made me think of this video
10: Breaking the 4th wall will get you nowhere unless you're playing the Deadpool video game. They did that in a pretty interesting and creative way. 9: Hey, you can be a politician while sounding like a car salesman. Just ask Hades. (the James Woods version) Oh, and you wanna know what's sad? The actors in this are otherwise pretty good actors. That's TJ Miller playing as Jones, who previously played Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon. He didn't seem to care much in this movie. You also got the talents Anna Faris and even Dan Ackroyd as Yogi himself, who plays a pretty good cartoon character in it. 8: I'm LGBT and I think that gay joke was brilliant! Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is a satire too. 7: Oh yeah. Megan Fox wasn't in the 3rd movie because she said Michael Bay was like Hitler. After seeing the sequels, it makes more sense. 6: So, would this be the Sonic 06 of live action adaptations with the bestiality undertones? 5: Ironically, Matt Broderick is a bit more entertaining when he's evil. And that's just because the evil version is more consistently hammy.
I think the second Transformers movie ruined the entire film franchise cause the first one was just awesome it disappointed me so much they couldn't just stick with their original roots to the series.
So basically The Peanuts movie is the only movie (as far as I know) that is actually appreciating it's original source material and successfully tried.
