Kattiera Nana 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.
Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Michael Biden This show looked bad a first, but when you get into it, it is amazing. We all loved the fairly odd parents, right? Well this has the same exact charm and I hope Nickelodeon renews it for more seasons. This show has gotten little attention and I feel like it should be getting way more. With shows like these, Nick is coming out of the dark ages and getting better. Now all they have to do is remove the live action shows...
mobengafer Most Nickelodeon shows today are either a live action sitcom with bad acting and a laugh track every 5 seconds for someone getting hurt and people getting bullied or a show filled with bathroom humor like Sanjay and Craig. But this is different compared to other nickelodeon shows it has very few toilet jokes and great backgrounds the animation may be bad but the backgrounds is what matters more. I like cartoony shows like Gumball and SpongeBob this has the same humor. Nickelodeon has a lot of bad shows but it also has a lot of good shows today. The great ones are this , SpongeBob , Harvey Beaks , Hunter Street , TMNT and probably Welcome to the Wayne since the first 7 episodes were very good. I have mixed feeling about The Loud House and Ride. FOP has gone really bad over the years since Sparky came. I love this show but in needs more airtime because it seems like SpongeBob and The Loud House get the most. Both of those shows have very high ratings so we need to boost up BIAB ratings.
maenletyler I'm a huge fan of Butch Hartman's work. I remember when this was first green-lit, and then seeing it was made by Butch Hartman? I was stoked! So I've watched some of the episodes... I think it's a good show, but it has some minor issues.I like the 2 main characters, Bunsen and Mikey both really care and look out for each other. A complaint I see a lot are the voices. Personally, I think their voice fit all of them well, but they do however scream a lot, which imo can be a bit annoying. Also, it's animated in flash... I think flash is smooth and it's cheaper, but it just looks, unprofessional... I think flash may be the new way of animating shows, so get over it. I also LOVE the "Tex Avery" cartoon-I-ness to the show!My main complaints are Ms. Flap, Amanda, and the jokes. I really don't like Ms. Flap, she just yells weird lines and jokes. and Amanda? She just doesn't feel like a good antagonist. If they elaborated on the fact that Beasts are evil, she would have more of a leg to stand on, but they didn't. Also the jokes are just random. Some jokes are funny, just some of the jokes pop out of nowhere and kinda make no sense.So Bunsen is a Beast, its definitely one of Nicks better shows (Better than those crappy sitcoms am I right?) I just feel like it could've been better. Remove the random jokes and prove that beasts are truly evil so that Amanda would make more sense, and this show would definitely be Nicks #1 show!EDIT: The recent episodes imo have been gradually improving, it's definitely a good show. Reading YT comments, I often see people complaining about the show for these minute issues, I personally think it's a good show for what it is! It upsets me seeing how much the show is disliked... please don't watch with high expectations, it's just a cute comedy :)
FeemTwombly Having seen several episodes of this show I have gone in with an open mind each time, but every time I try to watch it just seems irritating. The show centers around two main characters Bunsen and Mikey, both these characters to me come across as bland and unlike-able.Bunsen has an incredibly annoying voice, this can make watching scenes with him extremely tedious and being as he's the main character it means long exposure to it.Mikey's voice is slightly more tolerable. My main issue with him is his design, being a big fan of Hartman's art style I was incredibly disappointed with how it all looks. Mikey especially looks awkward. We also learn nothing about how Mikey is friends with the beasts. A simple back story or commentary at the beginning could of helped improve this.Well that's the main characters out of the way so let's talk about the side characters. There isn't really that many to choose from. Amanda acts as the villain here but her motivations are unknown which makes it hard to care or get invested with her character. Her design looks pretty ugly.The teacher, not much I can say about her, but one thing I noticed is that she does her job horribly. To the point where she says that she basically didn't know that she is a teacher, I know this is played for laughs but it just made her seem super stupid. The jokes in this show are some of the worst jokes I've heard, I found myself just face-palming whenever a joke is mentioned. The delivery is off and they usually make no sense.The story isn't much better, with poor pacing continuity. The show seems to jump from different scenes in an awkward way. the overall episode plots just fall flat as there either stupid or boring. Overall this show to me is a major disappointment, it's not like I can even say its a first attempt from a new animator and give it a little excuse. But this is from Butch Hartman, who has worked on and created so many different shows, so it shouldn't feel this amateur, but sadly it does. I hope this show can improve, but I shall sadly no longer be watching it.
