Alicia I love this movie so much
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
MasterMeredith In the 90's superhero cartoons were everywhere, X-Men, Spider-Man, Bat Man, and the list goes on. While those shows were good, they really needed some not-so-serious competitors. Fox jumped on this with "The Tick," which was really amusing, along with Disney's "Darkwing Duck," another great show. When the WB came around, Warner decided to have a new comedic superhero that would put them out of place, and thus "Freakazoid!" came to be. So what exactly is Freakazoid, well he's the alter ego of Dexter Douglas, a nerd whose cat hit a few buttons and sucked him in to the internet. Now whenever Dexter says "Freak out," he turns into Freakazoid. Other characters include Cosgrove, whose monotone voice is great, Steph, Freakazoid's girlfriend, "Fan Boy" which I believe to be a parody of anyone that watches shows like this, and humorous villains out the gamut, such as the maniacal genius the Lobe, the creepy Candle Jack, and the man bull Long Horn. Now the shows humor is unlike any other comedic superhero cartoon, mostly due to being in the style of "Animaniacs," which gave it a nice anthology feel. The parodies are ingenious, such as "Babe" and "Braveheart" combined to "Babeheart" which is all done off camera, which really adds to the imagination. Also the nonsense that just goes on is all good fun. And like many shows at the time there are suggestive jokes in it, more than likely for it's intended audience of teenagers and up. I strongly feel that this is the definitive comedic superhero show of the 90's, although people say "The Tick," which was also good, but was more superhero show. I suggest if you just want humor watch "Freakazoid!" but if you want some superhero action in your funny superhero watch "The Tick."
SimpsonsFan13 I didn't even know that Freakazoid existed until I looked at YouTube. I watched a couple episodes of it and I thought it was one of the funniest shows ever made. I couldn't stop laughing at the completely random humor and satire scattered throughout. It was a bit closer in tone to shows like The Simpsons or Rocky and Bullwinkle. Freakazoid acted less like a real superhero and more like, well a cartoon character. There were also other funny segments like Lord Bravery, Fatman and Boy Blubber, The Huntsman, etc., It was basically one of those shows where story didn't really matter and it was just there to make you laugh. It is such a shame that this brilliantly hilarious show only lasted two seasons. This is my fourth favorite cartoon, right after The Simpsons, Futurama, and Pinky & The Brain.
ferchos13 I rediscovered this show through the wonders of (how fitting!) the Internet. The show is funnier for me today than when it first aired, mainly because I now understand that the main target were not children but people of more age, something that is relatively unknown. The show is wonderfully silly and smart, referencing itself constantly, spoofing Hollywood, breaking character and being as "Brechtian" as possible. Live action sequences are constantly used and clichés are consciously overdone. It is a fantastic piece of work that makes fun of TV and movies in a wacky and enjoyable way. I wish it could be revived, I really do.
George Haley Who exactly is this cartoon for? While kids probably won't get most of the references and allusions, there's really very little else here that's supposed to be funny or entertaining. Meanwhile, adults are likely to find it forced and derivative. There are also some supporting segments, of which the best is Lord Bravery. The central conceit there is "Basil Fawlty as a superhero," which is somewhat amusing momentarily, until you realize you could actually watch "Fawlty Towers." The other segments, Toby Danger and Lawn Gnomes, are one joke parodies of Gargoyles and Jonny Quest. Freakazoid himself is a pretty shoddy one off of The Mask, except his major shtick is Jerry Lewis. In fact, just about his only shtick is Jerry Lewis, which isn't funny shtick when Jerry Lewis does it. I guess you'd dig this cartoon if you like that little flash of recognition that comes from the realization "Hey! The writers of this cartoon have seen all the same movies I have!" but me, I prefer jokes and stuff. It's not really hard to see why this didn't last. Good for fanboys and other nerds, everyone else should avoid.
