Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

hellraiser7 This is another one of my favorite animated shows of all time. This was another show I watched on Nickelodeon when I was about 8 and it's sort of the first animated show I've seen from the UK and parodies/British comedies, shame British animation didn't make waves much as Japanese Anime I honestly would of loved to see what other animated delights the UK delivers. But that's beside the point this show blew me away as I've never seen comedy being both smart yet easy to understand and hilarious at the same time. And this show is also one of my favorite parody shows up there with "Police Squad" and several others in my book; this show obviously parodies on "James Bond" but also "Batman" kind of, yeah there have been plenty of parodies on Bond in the past and over the years, but this to me in my book is still the best one.The animation I think is great, it really fits the comic nature of the show as it's both practically cartoonish but also has some of the surreal. Mainly from some background animation which look like the same still animation you would see from Monty Python. But I also really like the character animation whom are all the animmorphic characters you would see in those kinds of animated shows. What really gets me is how much the size always seems to vary, which I always found very odd, but it really added to the humor of the show. Where in the scenes of London, the characters are really small, and London looks gigantic; though when they get out of London they look regular sized, this detail just goes to show how strange and out of reality the world Danger Mouse inhabits really is.I even really like the music mostly that theme song which is one of my favorite themes of all time and is catchy. The voice acting is excellent and spot on, each of the characters are memorable and hilarious.Baron Greenback: He's another of my favorite fictional villains. Obviously, a parody on Blowfeld from the James Bond films. I really like the raspy voice he sounds kinda like Voldemort from the "Harry Potter" films. He's the typical head villain architype but it's hear it's played with comical menace. His schemes are sort of similar with "Pinky and the Brain" as he's always trying to take over the world in the most colorful and sometimes daftest ways; in one episodes he fills the world with custard, another a clone army of Penfolds, another was taking over Cornel K's mind, the list goes on you just have to see it to believe it. But of course, they always fail due to Danger Mouse and Penfold's efforts and just how much he underestimates that mouse. He even has this cute white Caterpillar pet which is strange and cute at the same time.Penfold: He's a sidekick for DM but is unfortunately the most underqualified one. He's clumsy, not too bright, and is also as nerve racked as Shaggy from Scobey Doo. Though strangely the guy is helpful sometimes from trying or even just simply dumb luck. But he's character is just really funny as he has some of the best lines mainly but the trademark line most of all "Cor" which isn't even a real word much as "Dhoh" is for Homer Simpson. At times you can empathize and sympathize with the guy as some of the things he reacts to feel like how any regular person would. Whenever he sees DM take certain chances or has to fight big monsters or whatever, you can see he's reluctant or is thinking "Are you fraking crazy."Danger Mouse: He's one of my favorite animated protagonists, I really love that voice by David Jason which fits like a glove for the character as it has that tone that just rings dashing and heroic. It's just funny how despite how efficient in his job he is and is the type that loves things to be in control and neat. He always gets easily frustrated or loads of grief from Greenback, Penfold, and the craziness of the circumstance itself as those factors cause things not to go his way. But despite with the snafu's he's put though he always makes things work out in the end.But of course, where this show really excels is in its humor which succeeds both visually and verbally. Watching it as a kid I'll admit most of the verbal humor sort of flew over my head as I was more for visual humor at the time. Watching this show now as an adult it's even funnier as I'm able to catch most to all the verbal humor. The show has some replay value as there are sometimes some jokes you might have missed the first time, but you find something new. Dialog in the show is just hilarious there are a lot of memorable lines. And the reference homage jokes are memorable and numerous as well as they come suttlely and are easy to spot from films like "Star Wars", "Planet of the Apes", "Alien" and sci-fi tv shows like "Doctor Who" the list goes on depending on the episode. I also love that the show is formated like a cliffhanger serial which is another thing the show homages but was unique for animated shows at the time. Each of the episodes are arcs that constantly develop and are thrilling as they always end on a cliffhanger. It kind of reminds me of the cliffhanger endings in the "Batman 66" show just as Batman and Robin are very slowly coming toward their doom in some crazy contraption it's the same with Danger Mouse and Penfold and of course we had to painfully wait till next week for the next episode. I remember I and my friends whenever we watch that show always wondered how the hell DM and Penfold we're going to get out of that one.Overall if your looking for another James Bond parody or even just a good parody show in general this show is one to check out. Danger Mouse is dangerously fun.Rating: 4 stars

prosebank First it was the recurring debate over Bert & Ernie. Now it's a debate over DM & Penfold.Why do people persist in seeing things that aren't there, and which a show's creators and cast never intended to be there? Unless there is a scene of the two characters actually engaging in a sexual act, there is no justification whatsoever for a claim that their relationship is gay, straight or anything at all.In this case, the two main characters are co-workers. DM is the dashing hero, and Penfold is his cowardly & inept assistant (as we are repeatedly told), because that's a lot funnier than two dashing heroes.They're both male, because if one was male and the other was female, it would raise more questions about whether it was more than just a working relationship.They share a flat for the same reason that firefighters share a firehouse: so they're exactly where they need to be in order to spring into action the instant they're needed. That's it. That's all. We're talking about a silly little cartoon here. There's no subtext, so don't go looking for any.

StringBlade I'm a huge fan of Danger Mouse and always have been. I remember being a kid watching Danger Mouse with my brothers and before (or after, I don't remember) each episode on Nickelodeon they'd play a Bananaman episode most of the time. Lucky for those of us in the U.S. the world's smallest secret agent is now available on DVD from A&E. HOWEVER, be aware that this is NOT the exact same version you saw if you watched it on Nickelodeon in the U.S. as I did. I did not know this before I bought the DVD, but apparently when DM was broadcast in the U.S. they dubbed Stiletto's voice from and Italian accent to a Cockney accent, but the U.S. DVD release of DM has the original Italian accent. It threw me for a loop and I'm sure I'll grow to not care, but it is certainly a surprise that a U.S. release would not be the same as the U.S. broadcast. I'm especially interested to see how this affects The Duel episode where Stiletto dresses up as a fortune teller and puts on a "fake" accent to hypnotize Penfold -- except he slips back to his Cockney accent when he shouts, "OH YES YOU ARE!" and clobbers poor Penfold over the head with they crystal ball. *sigh* Why do production studios have to screw with stuff one way or another and end up being inconsistent!? Either they should have left Stiletto in Italian for the U.S. broadcast or released the DVD with the Cockney accent. Oh well...they're still just as enjoyable as ever - nothing else changed.

DragonMasterHiro Another great show from my younger days, Danger Mouse used to pop up on Nickelodeon. I first saw Count Duckula before also stumbling onto this cartoon. Secret Agent Danger Mouse, looking heroic with his DM emblem and tough with his eyepatch, lived in a red mailbox on a street corner in London. His sidekick, the lovable but cowardly Penfold, was a blue suit wearing mole who would run behind Danger Mouse screaming "Oh, eck!". Colonel K, who I think was an old beaver or something, would call in and send Danger Mouse on all his dangerous missions to thwart the evil Baron Silas Greenback, a large frog petting a fuzzy caterpillar. DM would also drive around in his own super secret agent car, escape from snapping alligators and always saved the day. I also remember a lot of bombs exploding and that great theme song.
