Dick Figures: The Movie (2013) Reviews

• Congratulations Ed & Zack, it's a hit

  Before this movie is watched it's important to remember what it is, namely a film geared at people familiar with the franchise. By producing the film independently it contains the same humour, animation and production quality as the web series, but in a refreshingly new form. There's some notably well put-together scenes and the film as a whole was generally enjoyable to watch. Turning a short web cartoon into a film could almost only go wrong but they have managed to pull it off. It would be great to see where the series goes next for the pair, but let's see how this film rides out for them.

  For those who have seen every single episode of the web series at least twice and have grown to really enjoy the series, will love this film adaptation. It has some really well animated and written scenes. The second time through watching I found myself pausing the movie and reading things in the background or on the walls; I found there were many throwbacks to old movies, video games and pop culture. The plot was a little jumpy from place to place, but this was blended in by the writing that is often found it the web series shorts. The action is great, the laughs are awesome, and the story is fun. This film adaptation is a great work and it will be interesting to see what happens to Red and Blue in the future.

  Well to be completely honest, Dick Figures The Movie was not the knee-slapper I expected it to be. There were a few funny moments but I never laughed very hard. BUT! The plot line and all of the action in the movie still made it one of the best Movies I've ever seen! I also loved how much detail there was in every scene compared to the show. I love how much Ed and Zach put into this movie and they did a fantastic job! I loved how some of the stuff in the movie comes from things that were said in the show. For Example in the episode where they play poker and tell manly stories, the Raccoon tells of how he slaughtered thousands of warriors with the great sword of destiny and how the sword was lost, which pretty much sets up the whole plot line of the movie! This movie was not as funny as I had expected unfortunately, but it was still one of the best movies I've ever seen and I really wish it had gone on the big screen. That would have been epic. I really did get my money's worth from the $30 i donated to help make the movie!

  "Dick Figures: The Movie" is a hilarious epic story about two friends named Red and Blue and their quest to recover the legendary Sword of Destiny. If you're looking for a great comedy, this is it. This movie has action, drama, and of course a hefty dose of raunchy humor. This is definitely not a kids' movie, as you might infer from the title. There is a lot of profanity, sexual references, violence, and more. Think "South Park" without the annoying voices. I recommend this for anyone who likes movies such as "Pineapple Express", "Ted", "Dumb and Dumber", "Shaun of the Dead", or others like that. It has some stoner humor like Pineapple Express, a cute talking animal like Ted, a hilarious epic road trip like Dumb and Dumber, and tons of action and one-liners like Shaun of the Dead. Some of the humor is related to the original web-series, so you'll get more out of it if you watch some Dick Figures episodes first. They are all free on YouTube. Bottom line: if you haven't seen it, check it out!

  "Prepare yourself. For STICK FIGURES. And RACCOONS. And NINJAS. And EXPLOSIONS. And LOVE. And HATE. Two friends will risk it all to find the greatest treasure of all time." I have been eagerly awaiting this movies premier since it was first announced. This movie was made for the fans, (funded) by the fans, and they didn't disappoint. I've been a big fan of the series since I discovered it halfway through season 1. While some movie adaptations stray from the series on which they are based, Dick Figures: The Movie keeps what made the series so great, then turns things like the animation and action up to 11. I think a big part of this is that they went with crowd sourcing, raised the movie, and produced all in house with complete creative control, rather than being at the mercy of some big Hollywood studio. There was some great action sequences, lots of laughs including some gut busting hilarity in the Paris restaurant scenes. At the same time, Ed and Zack have taken the opportunity to not only bump up the animation, action, comedy, and explosions but also give more depth to the characters. We get to learn more about Raccoon, and we see a softer side of Pink that literally confirms that she loves Blue. We also learn how Red and Blue's friendship came to be, the strain that gets put on it, and ultimately the greater appreciation they have for it. Red (eventually) shows that he really does care, and Blue finally has his day. There are some genuinely touching moments that really make you feel for the characters. Then of course, there's the Easter Eggs. After watching it the first time or three, it's worth watching it again and pausing to check out all of the neat pop culture references and references to the series as a whole. For example, have a good look in Blue's room, especially the bookshelf. This was such an awesome movie, and does the fans proud. If you're a fan of the series you owe it to yourself to buy or rent it. If you're not familiar with the series but enjoy action, explosions, and wacky, colorful characters, check it out.
