Bereamic Awesome Movie

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

nonabear10 I hate this show. It makes me want to dump toxic waste in a park. The characters are annoying and captain planet looks like an idiot. I can't get over the awful voice acting and I love Whoopie Goldberg but what was she thinking?! I would love to punch all those kids in the face. I'm all for being green but not if you act like these people. The so called bad guys are ridiculous. Chopping down trees isn't evil, its practical. I am so happy this dumb show is over. This show never taught me a thing, it just made me angry. To give this a 2 would be being too nice and I would give it a 0 if I could. If this is what made you "go green" I am sorry for you. I honestly am. No one should watch this show. I can't think of 1 redeemable quality to this show. If there are people that think I am being too harsh they need to go back and pay attention to how awful this show truly is.

Nuz_Reviews Some might call it child propaganda. I call it child genius. How is recycling and helping our environment not at all a good thing? Even if one doesn't believe in climate change, then they should still care about other animals (besides humans) sharing this Earth with us. It just seems to be inherently humane.I remember as a little kid I had ALL of the Captain Planet action figures: Kwane, from Africa, possesses the power of Earth; Wheeler, from North America, controls the power of fire; Linka, from the Soviet Union, has the power of wind; Gi, hailing from China, controls the power of water; and Ma-Ti, from the Amazon in Brazil, utilizes the power of Heart to create a sense of passion and care for the planet. I also had actually rings for each character. And, obviously.. "Let our powers combine," I had the Captain Planet action figure. "Go Planet!"Network: TBSOriginal Air Years: 1990-1996As cheesy as this show was, it had a great underlying message of peace and happiness for our planet. It gave kids hope for the future. Not only did it encourage them to recycle and maintain a healthy planet, but it showed that individuals from all over the world could come together and conquer evil doers. Perhaps a superficial superhero would appear too.The story is quite simple. Gaia, the spirit of Earth, has awakened from a long slumber by human activity threatening the ecosystems. She realizes the planet needs help and sends five magic rings, each with a specific elemental power (described above after each characters' name). They will encounter foes like that of Sly Sludge, Looten Plunder, and Hoggish Greedly.It's equally worthy to duly note that the Captain Planet Foundation still exists to this day (what Captain Planet would tell kids to visit at the end of each show). Check it out at CaptainPlanetFoundation.org.Also, note that in late 2007, Ted Turner was in talks of a movie. In early 2008 Warner Bros. denied said movie. On July 19, 2011, the announcement was made that Cartoon Network and producers of the Transformers films are developing a live-action film based on the series. Should be interesting. And, not a bad idea given the success of Transformers and the new Smurf film. Also, those pitiful Alvin and the Chipmunks movies made some cash.Say what you will about Captain Planet, it will still always be a favorite show of mine; if not for the cheesy animation, sounds, and story-lines, then just purely from the message itself.

waiching liu Cartoons are supposed to entertain kids- not lecture them on social issues. Okay so there was some morality in Thundercats but it wasn't done to death, nor did it detract from the plot of the show. Captain Planet and The Planeteers was one step ahead: a truly dire cartoon where 5 teenagers, who each hail from various parts of the globe, attempt to do right and defeat their arch-nemesis, Duke Nukem and his evil cohorts and with the help of the green-haired one, save the planet. The politically correct slant this show tried to invoke was as nauseating as it was tedious. This was propaganda aimed at brainwashing children almost- conservatives= bad, liberals = good. Thank goodness however that I didn't buy into that preachy nonsense, as a kid. I still don't, as an adult to this day. When I looked at the credits, I was stunned to learn that the mega rich media mogul, Ted Turner- he of CNN, Time Warner fame- was involved in this diabolical affair. As those who have commented on here have stated, there are some rather numerous inconsistencies, question marks, not to mention absurdities which plague Captain Planet and the Planeteers: likewise, 1)almost all the villains are all from different parts of the west, whilst the heroes are global; thus implying the west are evil, money grabbing polluters who don't care about the world and the state that it is in; 2) the teenagers dependence on Captain Planet to solve its crises suggest they are reluctant to do things the hard way and properly by themselves; 3) each of the so-called heroes lack any sort of personality, and have no real depth to their character- not to mention they are annoying and so 'goody-goody'; 4)in regards to the situations they find themselves in and the ways they address them, it is so unrealistic and at times, misleading because, in real-life nine times out of ten, how many people would actually react in exactly the same way as those teenagers have done, in regards to so called 'green' issues? 5) in every episode the teenagers do not make any effort whatsoever to find an alternative way in resolving a particular crisis- they just leave it up to Captain Planet to sort things out.Yet, what is truly alarming was that whilst the brilliant and fantastic Thundercats for example, lasted for merely two seasons, this show ran for six when it should've died a quick and painful death. It should've been cancelled after one season. Nevertheless, it is the PC- nature of Captain Planet that filled me with utter dread and of which got on my nerves. The 90s and 00s were, for the most part, wretched periods for animated cartoons, in contrast to the wonderful, 60s, 70s and 80s.This was embarrassing, humiliating and pure banality and an almost blatant attempt to Hollywood-ise and sensationalise environmental issues and make it look so tacky, which this show was. This was a total dirge

leopold-20 This show is a bunch of hippie BS if you ask me. I watched this show when I was young and bought into all this hippie crap about how nuclear power/having more than two kids in a family/driving a car too much is somehow evil of us. Once I finally grew up and realized the facts and how stupid shows like this trick our kids today in believing things that are just flat out stupid. It's also funny how the group of people are all diverse and from every corner of the world, and they get along so well. Real Cute. I give this show a 1 out of 10 because of its stupid agenda to feed BS into kids heads about things that are just flat out not true.
