NipPierce Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!
Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This 23-minute short film was written and directed by Aaron Springer, one of the driving forces behind Spongebob Squarepants, back in 2006. It got never picked up for its own show, but has constantly risen in popularity since then. It's a good piece of adult animation centering on a massive male fighter named Korgoth who just wants to have a drink at the pub, but is tricked into a trap when offered a huge meal with an old acquaintance. The meal contained a stomach virus and, in order to be given the antidote, Korgoth has to go to a supposedly dead magician's castle and steal a golden goblin statue for his acquaintance. So he does and we get to follow him on his journey, which is packed with obscenities, graphic violence, murder and, of course, large-breasted damsels in distress wearing almost nothing.All in all, it's a pretty good half hour of comedy and animation. I'm not too tempted to watch it again anytime soon, but i'd definitely be willing to give a show centering on Korgoth a fair chance. Maybe the better idea may even be a feature film. I'm sure there's lots of adventures that could be written for the hero. Recommended, but definitely not for children or the easily-offended.
NitroFrost not only is the show a pretty awesome show but what makes it better is that you got a lot of the people that work on Sponge bob square pants on this one. I mean did you see that coming! I think the pilot of this show would make for a awesome Adult Swim series. This would be right up there with the likes of Home Movies and ATHF. The shows over all plot of a future gone to hell is just awesome, as you can see when Korgoth leave Gog-Ma-Gogg's, also noted in the intro. If you want to see the pilot again just jump to you tube and type in Korgoth you should be the episode in 3 parts "I don't know why but its in 3's". The show makes for a pretty funny times and some line to use and your friends for a very long time"You will see another spectrum of pain". Watch the episode on you tube you won't regret it!
lumbar64 Korgoth is awesome. Brutal, funny and full of action. To those who have read the Conan stories by the original author I think you will see many similarities. This series depicts a barbarian as he was meant to be, no hesitation, no remorse,no annoying morals to drag him down. The animation is good and seems to fit the characters and story well. The voice work is solid and professional. As an avid reader of sci-fi, fantasy and comics it is refreshing to see a well written, well drawn series for adults. The geek and non-geek alike should find something to enjoy and appreciate in this series. Barbaric savagery in a light hearted vein. Who could ask for more? Let's hope he stays with us for a long time.
laxcat Have you ever been to an animation film festival? Imagine one of the funniest of the violent independent animations you've seen, fill it full of gag humor like you might see on Futurama, apply a mini-epic plot, add copious amounts of heavy metal, and you've got Korgoth of Barbaria.Made by Aaron Springer of SpongeBob SquarePants fame, the brilliant pilot suggests someone who has been under the constrains of a animation for children for a little too long. While the drawing style is like few other things on TV (it really does have that independent feel), the animation direction of Genndy Tartakovsky is very apparent in the quick, jerky action oriented style, very similar to his Samurai Jack.This show shows promise like few others I've seen and is part of a lineup that will probably go down as a golden age in original programming for adultswim.
