POSITIVES…
A creatively amusing, irreverent, self-aware take on the American revolution. Solid idea for an animated movie.
Part of the appeal are the unapologetic modern pop culture references, homages, and humor, tossed into that time era.
It opens with beer pong during the drafting of the Declaration of Independence for chrissakes.
Some other good scenes, like the chase sequence with Clyde the horse, the whole meeting with Blacksmith, “Free Bird,” to the War of Attrition.
Oh, there’s also that scene where a certain someone is “spitting out blood.”
Certain running jokes were also decently entertaining. John 3:16.
Out of the huge ensemble cast of characters, my favorites are easily Edison and Geronimo.
BTW, it’s got gory cartoon violence and blatant crude language throughout. Not for kids.
I also appreciated the work on the animation.
Despite the over the top absurdist tone, there are some not so subtle social political commentaries to mull over.
NEGATIVES…
It’s haphazard attempts at cleverness only goes so far.
So many ideas were leaning towards the over the top extreme that I thought this movie could have come out from the ‘90s.
Comedy is subjecting, but I seriously barely laughed at the jokes, and there were a lot of non-stop attempts at humor.
The whole outrageous premise can get exhausting to watch really fast.
This movie can get really obnoxious too.
Samuel Adams is ridiculously annoying here. I know why he’s written the way he’s written, but come on now.
More obvious Star Wars jokes… Movies! Stop with the lame Star Wars references!
Just a whole lot of pandering to the audience.
