Bardlerx Strictly average movie
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
yabuturtle I never actually saw the show, I only heard about it until I saw it on the internet. I heard mixed reviews for it. Some good, some bad. When I actually saw it I was kinda disappointed. It was just too different. Although the plot was pretty good. This story was about Kevin Keene and his dog, Duke, getting sucked into video land because Princess Lana and the others need their help defending it from the evil forces of Mother Brain. The plot was good, but the characters and the way they were portrayed wasn't very good. And sometimes the shows were kinda corny, if you ask me.The good guys consist of Kevin, Duke, Princess Lana, Simon Belmont, Mega Man, Kid Icarus, Gameboy and a number of other characters like Link, Princess Zelda, and many more. Kevin was decent. I liked his Zapper and his belt he always wore. Duke was OK, not spectacular, but he was useful sometimes. Princess Lana, ( Is it just me or does EVERYONE think she's hot because whenever I see Princess Lana, I always manage to see some dude saying " She's hot! " I'll admit, she is kinda hot). Princess Lana was a good character. Kevin liked her more than a friend, but then again, so did Simon and they often competed for her affection. Princess Lana obviously likes Kevin more, and for good reason, since he's not a vain, narcissist wimp like Simon Belmont. Which reminds me, Simon disappointed me a lot. He was tall, dark and like I said earlier, a vain, narcissist wimp. That's not how he was in the games, because in the games, he was cool and he was a brave fighting character. Kid Icarus was kinda annoying since he said " icus " at almost every sentence. His appearance and weapons weren't too bad though. Mega Man annoyed the crap out of me by saying " mega " almost every time. ( As if hearing Kid Icarus saying " icus " wasn't bad enough). Mega Man was short, had green armor and he sounded like he smoked 1 cigarette too many. And don't say he wore that green armor just because he was portrayed badly in the early game's cover art. Sure, the cover art for Mega Man 1 sucked balls, but he was NEVER short and he was NEVER green. He should look like he is today. And Gameboy was perhaps the worst of them all. A walking talking advertisement that made the most annoying sounds that ever existed. I mean, Gameboy wasn't even a video game character like the others, so the only reason they added him was because Nintedo was trying to see their product. Link and Princess Zelda however looked and acted good.The neutral characters consisted of many others like Donkey Kong and Dracula. (Though Dracula sometimes joined the bad guys side). Donkey Kong looked damn stupid with that shower cap on, or whatever that was. He was alright, since he attacked both the good guys and bad guys. Dracula AKA The Count looked really stupid. He had a yellow outfit and he looked like Micheal Jackson with a mullet. That's not the Dracula I know! I just didn't like him much.The bad guys consisted of Mother Brain, Eggplant Wizard, King Hippo and Dr. Wily. Mother Brain looked really weird. I thought she would be a big brain with 1 eye and that's it. She was alright, but not great. Eggplant Wizard looked kinda decent. He was a little sheepish, but alright. King Hippo was a little more different than I thought. He had the right body type, and the boxing gloves, but for some reason he had blue skin and he had small fangs. Is King Hippo undead or something?! Look at him! It's just stupid. They could've at the very least give him his human looking skin back. Dr. Wily looked weird. He was pretty small and had a big head, but generally, he looked OK. He should have looked like the Dr. Wily in the Mega Man series. And he sounded German for some reason. Ganon looked pretty damn awesome, if I do say so myself.Anyways, that's what I thought of the show. It's not a complete piece of crap, but if could've been so much better if the people actually made the characters look better. I think they should correct their mistakes and make a new Captain N: The Game Master. Hopefully it'll be much better than this one.
DragonMasterHiro Captain N was the story of a boy, Kevin Keene, who was playing his Nintendo one evening (Punch Out, I think) when he got sucked inside of his television! There he was welcomed to the Palace of Power by Princess Lana. She wants him to help protect VideoLand along with other game heroes MegaMan, Simon Belmont and Kid Icarus. Kevin's belt had the Nintendo controller on it, and he could use it to pause, run fast or jump real high. His weapon was the Nintendo gun used for Duck Hunt.I hated the way they made Simon Belmont. He was all stuck up and worthless when in the games he's the bravest of them all considering he fights the undead. He was very annoying in the show. Kid Icarus was ok. Mega Man is another of my favorite game characters but I was disappointed when I saw him in the show. I think he was green instead of blue and had a weird voice. It also seemed like they didn't have enough for the other characters to do. They'd just follow Kevin around, or hang out at the palace and do nothing.*POSSIBLE SPOILER* The series was pretty good. Kevin would travel to a lot of different worlds from games like: Castlevania, Zelda, Kid Icarus, Mega Man, Paperboy, Metroid, and Punch Out. Donkey Kong was huge and had his own world called Kongo Land. My favorite episode was when Princess Zelda wanted Kevin to come to Hyrule (it took place during Zelda 2 and I think it was a two part episode). Link looked awesome and in one scene he fights Horse Head. King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard turn rocks into tomatoes in the desert and get squished by them. Another great scene is when they get attacked by Moas in the graveyard, and Gameboy smacks them with his Vid-Baseball Bat. I remember the Paperboy episode where everyone starts turning into zombies when they read this newspaper, and another episode where Kevin gets a VideoLand virus so everyone shrinks to go inside his body to fight it. There was also a Mega Man episode where gets a heart and meets Mega Girl (we could have done without her).A nostalgic show, good solid series. I wish they had done some different things with it but ah well.
Captain_N Captain N: The Gamemaster was the epitome of what a cartoon should be. It had cool characters that you could care about: Kevin Keene, Princess Lana, Mega Man, Kid Icarus, and yes, even Simon Belmont. The show also had characters from other great video games make cameos. I remember loving and "still" loving this show so much, I boycotted NBC for several years since they didn't acknowledge my suggestion for possible plots and why the show should continue to air and the terrible job done in the final season. But anyways, I recommend all of you to check out an old video store, swing by a Captain N homepage, or better yet, petition to get this back on the air. I hope everyone has the opportunity to view the greatest cartoon series ever made.
Skyrcket For a show created to sell video games, this wasn't too bad. Kevin got live every video game fans dream and meet the character he played and travel to there worlds. While the episodes were meant to be silly most of the time, they did have some really good moments. Like when Mother Brain transported Kevin's school to Videoland or when Princess Launa found her father. Plus, Simon Belmont was great comic relief.
