Too much of everything

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

When I was a kid, this was the coolest 'hero cartoon' I'd ever seen, and I remembered it that way for many years.The space ships, the power bands, the cool white costume ... what a great setup and hero it all made.I'm kind of sad I saw a couple of the original episodes recently on the cartoon network. From an adult standpoint it doesn't hold up as well as other childhood favorites like The Flintstones. Of course, The Flintstones was written for both adult and child audiences, and I'm sure that why it holds up so well.Still, kids that like hero cartoons will probably still get into Space Ghost, Jace and Jan, and Blip.Spaaaaaaaaace Ghooooooooooooost!!!! Hooray!

I'd watch these as an adult when they first were aired. The superhero had Power Bands, which apparently could do nearly everything by pushing the right buttons. In about 8 minutes per complete episode, a problem was set up, a glitch to its solution occurred, and then the hero triumphed, often with the help of his monkey. (With all his power bands and the like, he, Jayce, and Jan were often at the mercy of the bad guys until they got help from an often invisible Blip. So much for high-tech.Is that they're rescued by a small simian a spoiler?) Some of the villains were great, but one of the most underused ones was Metallus, who was the one who was the most honorable, and the one who contended with Space Ghost, technologically. The horde of robots he commanded were occasionally a bit silly, such as the "rock-throwing robots," to quote Jayce's observation, but the heroes managed to get through them or otherwise evade/avoid them.The stories, as noted, are short and simple. As such, they're good for a fast break when one's had a long day. They're a lot of fun and worth a view.

Well, Time-Warner(or whoever owns the rights at this hour) has finally gotten around to releasing the ORIGINAL "Space Ghost" on DVD! These are the cartoons that I grew up watching. While I'm certain that there are a lot of fans for "Space Ghost Coast to Coast," "Harvey Birdman," etc., but let's face it: There are a good many of us who remember these shows in their original format. Watching them in their pure form is not just about nostalgia. There might be a new audience waiting to discover these lost treasures. Space Ghost was the baddest dude in the galaxy: with those power bands, the inviso-ray, and, best of all, that ship, THE PHANTOM CRUISER. That has to be one of the coolest starship names EVER! Then, there's "Dino Boy" which was part of the "Space Ghost" series. The DVD is set for a July 15, 2007 release. Also, the original "Birdman/Galaxy Trio" series will be released on that day. "Birdman" was AWESOME, fighting intergalactic crime with the help of falcon (or was it a hawk?) named "Avenger." And the Galaxy Trio. . . who could forget "Gravity Girl" (what a babe). Hopefully, Turner will continue to release the rest of the Hanna-Barbera superhero series, such as "The Herculoids," and, of course, the original "Fantastic Four" cartoon series. Also, while they're at it what about "Frakenstein,Jr," "The Impossibles," "Secret Squirrel," and "Atom Ant?" Alright, I'm getting carried away. Sorry.

Lets not even mention his status as a talk show host........Lets focus on the popular Hanna-Barbera cartoon starring the guardian of the spaceways;the intergalactic crime fighter,and the hero who stands for truth,justice and peace throughout the universe,the baddest superhero of the galaxy.......SPACE GHOSTThis was one classic piece of breathtaking animation that was brilliantly designed and astoundingly executed to perfection with some of the stories that maybe limited on character development,but in other words this was a show that packed with breathtaking action and excitement throughout and with it some cliffhanging adventure at its finest hour. What more can I say about a intergalactic superhero who files through the skies in his phantom cruiser spaceship along side his companions Jan and Jayce and space monkey Blimp defending and protecting the galaxy from evildoers and other creatures from hostile planets. In other situations as well,Space Ghost also had to risk life and limb in some of the episodes where his companions had to saved from a certain fate from some diabolical villain. Some of the stories were just pure enjoyment,but also some of it was a bit campy since some of the episodes ran within an eight minute time-frame,but still you got your viewings worth when this show came on,and it saw,it delivered the goods and it kicked butt. Space Ghost was the MAN!!!!However,this show had some of the most diabolical villains ever devised and there were way out there too,especially with the designs created by the master Alex Toth,the head honcho of the Hanna-Barbera superhero shows,and was behind the scenes for Hanna-Barbera's first ever action-adventure series,"Jonny Quest",and so many more,who came up with the creation of Space Ghost. To make this work,they also had the lucky stars with them when they got Gary Owens of "Laugh-In",and once a popular DJ,for the voice of Space Ghost and from there that was only one thing that could be said when they casted Owens in the title role: CLASSIC. Not to mention Tim "Jonny Quest" Matheson as the voice for Jayce. As far as the villains were concerned,this show had them and these were some of the greatest ever devised where as Space Ghost's deadliest enemies were "Cyclo","Brak","Metallus","Black Widow",along with "The Creature King",and "Lurker",not to mention his worst enemy,the always unpredictable and unexpected "Zorak". The pinnacle of the series and probably the best installments of the Space Ghost shows is a multi-part episode untitled,"The Council of Doom" where our hero goes up against some of his deadliest foes in a six-part episode which is as exciting as it gets. This was one cliffhanger of the series where Space Ghost finally meets not only his match,but his uncertain doom. Watch it sometime.He even traveled through the vortex of time and space to meet up with Dino Boy,The Herculoids,the inter prehistoric stone age crime fighter Mightor,and to meet and fight off evildoers with the hippest,trippest genie of them all..Shazaan. This was in the same category as another Hanna-Barbera character show too,"Dino Boy",about a lost boy who lands in a prehistoric world,where he is befriended by a caveman in a lost valley where danger is always present. Now for all those die-hard fans out there....when will we see this on DVD? Loyal fans of the 1960's cartoon show would really want to know. Catch the episodes on Boomeraction from Cartoon Network.
