Let's be realistic.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

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.

Watched 10 minutes of the pilot and wasn't into it. Every character seemed like Joey from friends.

I vaguely remembered this show from it's first airing. I was the right age for the cartoon when it aired, and I remember liking that a lot, but I'd just started college when this hit the air and didn't watch much TV. This show was ahead of it's time, especially considering the recent slate of "vigilante superhero" films. Great over the top single cam comedy. Great Cast, great direction, and an excellent script. Standout episode 8 is hilarious, all of them are very funny. Aspiring writers should take notice of the the easily discerned A plot, B plot, C plot structure. The cast grew together and they really put the chemistry on screen after the first couple episodes.Do yourself a favor and watch all 9 on netflix. We rarely get anything out of the ordinary on TV and this is a perfect example of something that suffered from poor placement(direct competitor to survivor-which was new at the time) and lack of support from network.

Somehow, I missed The Tick during its run on television. Thank goodness for DVD! The Tick has to be one of the funniest, most original shows I've seen. It's a riot! I can't believe there are only eight episodes.I can pinpoint two things that make The Tick so good to me. First, the writing. Some of the dialogue in The Tick is laugh out loud funny. In the pilot episode, the first time we see the Tick, he's guarding a bus stop. His main enemy appears to be the coffee machine that has a habit of taking money from customers. I'll never forget the sight of the Tick shaking the coffee machine while saying "Armless bandit... Empty your bladder of that bitter black urine men call coffee! It has its price and its price has been payed! Java devil, you are now my bitch." Hysterical! The second area where the show excels is in the casting. Going back to his days on the television show Dave's World, I've always thought that Patrick Warburton was one the funniest people I've ever seen. He's a big, tough, good-looking guy who can be as goofy as they come. He is simply perfect in the title role of this series. His delivery, mannerism, attitude, and look are dead on. I can't imagine anyone else playing the Tick. As for the rest of the cast, they're wonderful. As much as I can't imagine anyone else playing the Tick, I feel even stronger about David Burke in the role of Arthur. He IS Arthur. Liz Vassey and Nestor Carbonell are the two other regulars rounding out this superb cast.It's a shame The Tick didn't last longer. Eight episodes hardly seems like enough.

how on earth could they cancel one of the funniest things on TV ever? Brutal.Brutal.Imaginative, creative, brilliant, and awesomely funny, this series, short as it is, is one of the great things I've seen on TV in my short existence on planet earth.Beyond funny most of the time, and sublime in its other moments, it is a great tragedy that this was axed.I feel ashamed as a fellow Aussie (Fox, owned by Rupert Murdoch, axed it) that this was killed off.ouch. it hurts Rupert. please allow it another season or two.come-on dude, you know people, and what they want.Give us some more.maybe the end of the season, and then preferably a season or two after...come-on Mr. Murdoch, do it for the fans...I'm sure there's cash in it...I promise to buy the DVD....
