It was okay. I was expecting a lot more granted it took so long for it to get finished. The animation was sub par and the comedy just wasn't that funny. I was expecting the kind of animation we saw in the Rob zombie desert scene in Bevis and Butt-head do America.

In a world that's inundated with films that are geared towards kids and teenagers, it's great to see an artist that isn't afraid to put something out there that is specifically aimed at entertaining adults. Bravo to Rob Zombie for his fearlessness and hedonism! What would America be without people like him and the acters that put themselves out there for this?

I'm too afraid to let go of my pride and dignity and as a result I wonder just what kind of 'fun' it is that I'm missing out on. Because of this I have to live vicariously through the images that I acquire over the internet.

Damn straight, the scenes introducing Velvet Von Black and Suzi Ex alone make this the best adult animated movie since the Southpark movie.

I gave this a 7/10 because I found it to be a great attempt at an adult cartoon with a catchy soundtrack, but I felt like it could have been a bit funnier and longer. I would bet money Zombie's next animated endeavor will be even better. But it is refreshing to see another adult cartoon ("Family Guy" does NOT count). Also, I must say I love Zombie's music (even touched him at a concert), but despise his live action movies (even for grindhouse flicks, I can't get into them)--however he opened a concert in Columbus with a clip from Superbeasto, and since then I had to check this out.

No a bad movie is usually anything below 5.

this was good but not great 7/10

Might have been more impressive it had come before adult swim.

Cause this movie was *beep* whereas Ren & Stimpy are awesome e.g. have "likeable" characters, an actual story and jokes you can LAUGH about...

I gave it a 3/10...

>>Ren & Stimpy are awesome e.g. have "likeable" characters, an actual story <<

You are so full of *beep*

Anyway, Ren & Stimpy has an identical style to Superbeasto because they both derive from the style of Ralph Bakshi's Fritz The Cat.
So it's beyond stupid to call one immature and idiotic while praising the other for the EXACT SAME BRAND OF HUMOR.

It's just too bad none of the idiots bitching about this movie have any clue what they're talking about.

It's just a matter of growing up, in your case. It's nothing to do with the stylistic choice (which is what you're actually referring to), it's to do with what's driving it. It's the disgraceful script, mainly - the ideals and sensibilities of the director makes this what it is, and it is exactly this that we're referring to. I mean you'd have to be stupid and immature to not realise that.

Enjoy your egg whites.

this is a great movie and it has nothing to do with "growing up." if you don't like it, it's only because you are an effete, paintywaisted prude. don't let the door hit you on the way out

[–] csuperman 14 years ago

Look, all I want is for Rob Zombie to admit that this is porn. I mean I wouldn't bother expressing distaste for this if it were a'dult entertainment as opposed to adult entertainment.

It's just reckless, unhinged exploitation from a mind as adolescent as one that thinks Charles Manson is cool.

Enjoy your egg whites.

The ratings don't really mean a whole hell of a lot. If half the people give a movie a 10 and the other half give it a 0, it's going to have same rating as a movie that everyone gave a tepid 5 to, but chances are the first movie is probably a lot better than the second. And 6 might be a really high rating for a fussy person (who normally gives everything 3) and a really low rating for someone who loves everything and wishes the scale went up to 11. Adding a bunch of numbers together and averaging them just doesn't mean much.

This was pretty entertaining. It was better than average (whether you consider that a 6 or an 8). I thought it was pretty funny (especially the theme songs). And, of course, there was lots of animated T and A (One thing I hate about modern genre movies is they still often cast the same not-very-talented bimbos based on their physical attractiveness and their big luscious silicone-enhanced breasts, but then they DON'T have them strip off regularly. I mean either cast people more average-looking but genuinely talented OR make an unapologetic T-and-A fest like this).

Anyway, there are a lot worse ways to spend 80 minutes of your life. . .

Oh there are, I just don't like the fact that a large sum of money went into the production of this film.

You do make a valid and sturdy point (which, believe me, is more than I can say for just about everyone else on this site) but I do think there's a difference between "unapologetic-ness" and just flat out distastefulness and being of vulgar intention. And you can usually tell which it is by how the protagonists are treated. The film was at its most disgraceful when it became apparent that the filmmaker saw nothing wrong with El Superbeasto's absolutely detestable and loathsome behaviour. The film is pornographic in all its sensibilities -- even the heroine was reduced to a spooge bucket by the end (arguably well before, actually).

It would've made for passable adult entertainment too, if it weren't for the despicable protagonist.

Enjoy your egg whites.

I agree that these averages don't mean much, but I don't I'm 'fussy' for a six being a high rating. 5 should be average. 10 should be the select few greatest films of all time. 1 should be something that's completely useless.

I gave this movie a 4. I thought it was a little below average but not completely terrible. To me, that's pretty sturdy logic.

The protagonist is EXACTLY like The Rock, a celebrated star today. I’m no Rob Zombie fan, but this was prescient.

To all and sundry: this is American Hentai. I know you South Park monkeys have no idea what that is; SP is your closest, feeble reference to what you think this is.

I gave it an 8. It was kinda reminiscent of Fritz the Cat that meets Scooby Doo and Sampson Vs. The Vampire Women (obscure Mexican language wrestling hero film fighting sexy female vampires - very funny when MST3K ribbed it) to me.

Highly adult fare, not "porno" (as I don't think 'Team America World Police' with the Super Marionettes was porno either!!) although NC-17 is exactly the right American rating for it. I've seen WORSE animation/cartoons from Europe that may make you run and I would say are more pornographic; but they'll say we Americans are too 'up-tight'.

This is corny, lightweight, but adult and kinda funny.

The show wasn't as funny as it was 5 years ago. Well, neither are you.

[–] robotrix 14 years ago

For the record, I grew up in the era of Fritz the Cat, R. Crumb, the original National Lampoon (with Dirty Duck, Trots and Bonnie, Vaughn Bode and all that stuff), Flesh Gordon....no prude am I.

If I could give the animation a 12, I would.

But the plot....JEEZ! Movie making isn't "How much $h*t can I cram into 2 hours just for the sake of having it there?" Good ideas or not sometimes less IS more.

It's a 3.

There's a reason Ren and Stimpy got canceled..

Even if you where old enough to "get it" it really wasn't funny or anything..

Not that much different with this one, just that it doesn't have the "We where on a kids channel!" to hide behind..

[–] ghost_hat 14 years ago

The fact that this is an adult cartoon with interesting concepts
and cool animation does not mean it deserves a high rating. It
deserves consideration, though.

While watching, I kept thinking to myself "with all the awesome stuff
in this movie... it should be better than it is".
I love B monster movies, and this was chock full of winks and nods
to them. I enjoyed the music, and some of the humour.
But as others pointed out, a movie is not a contest to see how much
insane crap and sound effects you can cram into the run time.

I was debating whether to give this a 6 or 7, I went with 6. It really
could have been better if they had tightened up the script and cut
down on the ADHD factor. It was entertaining, good, but not great.

Look look guys. I love Ren & Stimpy, in fact, I think its one of the most hilarious kid shows ever put onto television. But this movie just *beep* sucks! The jokes arent remotely funny, the violence isnt enjoyable, to much pointless *beep* nudity, I did like the references to horror films but the characters are bland and forgettable, which is hard to do with a premise like this! It just fails on all accounts.
