GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Steineded How sad is this?

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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

Laura_Kin Tick fan since first print copy and I was very happy for casting- Warburton was PERFECT for this role!! sad it was short lived!

sfinancing ...and glad I did.A fast paced and amusing thrill ride that just doesn't get old. Smartly written superhero spoof from the turn of the century. Acting with just the right combo of seriousness and camp. Well casted.Looking forward to Amazon's take in 2017, hope they can manage the right balance.Well worth the time to watch the series(and you can marathon it in an afternoon).

tedg Many comments compare this to "Mystery Men." Both, these folks say, portray superheros as regular folks and spoof the whole genre of superhero movies. I liked "Mystery Men," better than any Marvel-derived movie except "Hulk" and perhaps "Daredevil."The Marvel formula was to introduce some humanity and coincident human drama around which to wrap their action panels. That placed the tone at a certain place on the comics spectrum. The tone was far less important than the placement on that spectrum.To find the same place on the movie spectrum you have to move to the absurdly human, so far to the left that only comedy — a certain fateful dark comedy — can contain it. "Mystery Men" made that adjustment and worked. It was funny, sure. But it was true as well, and may have been the peculiarly powerful Garafalo's best role.This is an entirely different beast altogether. It starts life as a goofy comic and is carried over as a very, very short sitcom. It doesn't try for humanity, it tries to fit the mold of sitcom characters. If you think sitcoms are life, you might believe The humor of "Mystery Men," is somehow similar to this.Quite apart from that, I'm interested in how the engineers of these are attuned to political narrative. The US president, whoever he is, always attempts to define the national tone in cinematic narrative. The current occupant has been particularly effective in this regard. Essentially billions of dollars go into reinforcing this "story," so it is no surprise that lots of little guys assemble in its wake to try to be pulled along.The main thread of the Republican narrative is "stupid is endearing if the heart is in the right place." Purity of heart always trumps intelligence, a remarkably effective strategy to blunt any reasoned argument.So we have movies like "Red, White and Blond," which not only followed the narrative but placed it in a specifically political setting. And we also have this: a dumb extremely strong guy with a heart of gold. A girl dressed up as the statue of liberty. See what I mean?Plus we have the two foils: the slimy immigrant and the gay twinky in the fairy/bunny costume.The Fox network? No wonder.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

larry.launders The Tick has gone from comic book to animated series to live action, each able to do things the other medium can't. Given that set of circumstances, the show was too short lived. I don't think it would have lasted a lot of years, but three or four could have been possible.*** SOME OF THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED SPOILERS!! *** There were apparently copyright issues in introducing some of the same supporting cast, hence Deflator Mouser became BatManuel, and American Maid became Captain Liberty, but the characterizations and stories involving all of them were very well done.Guest stars included Christopher Lloyd (in the pilot episode as Arthur's boss Mr. Fishladder), Armin Schimerman as The Terror, Sam MacMurry as The Immortal, Ron Perlman as Fiery Blaze and Patrick Breen as his sidekick Friendly Fire, Dave Foley as a super-hero intervention counselor, Kurt Fuller as Destroyo, and Jonathan Penner as The Champion.So many of these episodes dealt at least as much with real world situations placed into the scenarios of the superhero's realm, and given The Tick's very odd outlook, resulted in extremely humorous and laugh-out-loud episodes.You might not like it as much as the book or the cartoon, but take the opportunity to see it, you will laugh!
