Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Brendon Jones 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.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

J-bot6 When this show's skits are good, they're generally really good.However, there's an unfortunate tendency for shows like this to eventually degrade into unfunny territory. You can generally tell when the gross-out jokes start to outnumber the legitimately funny ones. This same issue plagued Aqua Teen Hunger Force as well. Likely it's a result of writers getting too used to each other in an insular environment with few trusted people to check or critique their work.Having said that, Robot Chicken is a fantastic show for people who know and love their pop culture references. Stop-motion is the ideal format and the patience of the animators is very much appreciated.Well worth a look.

Jean Lafitte I watched the series back when it was funny; which is to say, when they weren't calling the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee for plot ideas. Political satire can be absolutely devastating, but when it's as one-sided as it was in Robot Chicken it gets nauseating - intelligent members of the audience realize they're being played and change channels.EXAMPLE: Another reviewer said "The only thing that would make me offended by the show is if they made a parody of Hurricane Katrina, but I still wouldn't stop watching the show." The fact is, Robot Chicken DID do a Hurricane Katrina sketch, when Gargamel dammed the river north of Smurfville, there were dead Smurfs floating all over, and one of the survivors whined "We asked for help, but the King doesn't care!" Obviously a repetition of the lie that the Federal Government did nothing and offered nothing before, after or during Katrina to the people affected. And if Seth Green or Mr. Senreich had an ounce of objectivity, intelligence or independence of thought, they'd have had Papa Smurf way up in the New Orleans Hyatt Regency Tree refusing all the help the King offered and basically letting 2-3000 Smurfs die so he'd have something to gripe to the press about.Just one in-depth example of why Robot Chicken began to really SUCK in its second season... all the raunchy satire about Bush and his daughters, and NO sketches about Obama and his very troubling church life, his early friendship with two SDS bomb-throwers... if they really WANTED to push the envelope of political satire, they could have.Instead, it's pretty clear that beginning in the second season, Green and Senreich decided to gut Robot Chicken and turn it into a propaganda vehicle to help Barack Obama get elected and rape the American middle class. What a damn shame... it started off as a great show,

Red_Identity Robot Chicken is surely a show that will not appeal to all. It's fast and short story lines and the editing and fragmented shorts will not amuse everyone, and will probably offend many. It may get labeled as 'stupid', but the writers really know their stuff. One cannot argue that they are making the television animated program that they want, and it certainly is ambitious. It is actually better than Family Guy. Because it has so many different stories, some of they are bound to fail, and many of them do. Not all stories are entertaining, and a lot of them are pretty lame, but they are at least to be admired for the effort put into them. Many times the best shorts are the ones that only span a few seconds long, and their impact is so funny that before you start laughing they are over. Shorts like this carry the show, and because of that this is one of the best things to ever come out on Television. Not to mention that animation is amazingly done and very enjoyable, but like I said, not what everyone is looking for. Long Live Robot Chicken!

PiotrWeselak Ahhh, Robot Chicken. I remember seeing it the first time. I was on the floor laughing like crazy! With it's funny pop culture references and parodies, it just never gets old. I have season 1,2,3 on DVD, and honestly I just can't get enough of it! I think so far the funniest season is season 3, but all of them are also hilarious! Robot Chicken contains references to almost every thing! From old movies, shows, and music. To pop culture in the present. If you love pop culture, parodies, hilarious references, violence, and just plain randomness! Then I highly recommend watching Robot Chicken! It's probably the only show that can match up to another one of my favourite Adult Swim shows, Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
