Konterr Brilliant and touching
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
drathbone667 Wow. This film is BAD! Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad! In fact, it is very likely the worst animated film of all time! And I mean "worst of all time" literally! So let's get into everything bad about this movie:1. The animation: The animation is dated at best. It is mostly in the style of hand-drawn, but occasionally has some awkwardly placed CGI parts that are often gratuitous and nonsensical. Not to mention how bland all the backgrounds in Atlantis are, as well as the bland character designs. And speaking of bland...2. Horribly bland characters and dialogue: The characters in this film are so one-dimensional and bland that you feel no connection to them whatsoever. They literally go through the whole movie with absolutely no distinct personalities or character traits. And the dialogue is strange and equally dreary. 3. Editing: The editing in this movie is atrocious. It is nothing but blatantly looped scenes with the dialogue awkwardly shoe-horned in. The lip syncing is HORRIBLE! Very rarely does a character's mouth match what the say.4. The voice acting: The voice acting is literally unbearable. It is so lazy and SO awkward that it makes the film even more unwatchable. The actors often give extremely flat performances to their equally flat characters and dialogue.5. Nonsensical story: This films makes no sense! It's just bland characters doing random things and having all of these events pieced together into 90 minutes. Also, the film has our characters trapped in Atlantis and having absolutely no problem with it! And not to mention all the continuity errors between this movie and it predecessor, including one of the biggest plot holes I have ever seen in film unleashed at the end of this "movie".6. The music: Well, we have a movie set in 1915 that has a rapping shark and a fish that plays techno music. Chew on that for a while.This movie transcends so bad its good and goes into a whole new level of being terrible. Avoid at all costs.Rating: 1/10. If I could give it lower, I certainly would.
The Wandering Reader 89 I cannot believe there would be a sequel to the god awful movie that completely broke history! And this one takes the ice! This one completely defies all rules of physics and reality and again, sugar- coating them so that kids could go to their own wonderland, where toys talk, there is a rapping shark, AND A MOTHERFU***** DOG SHOOTING A LASER PISTOL UNDERWATER. UNDERWATER FOR Christ SAKES!The film is totally unredeemable, the characters are forgettable, and the music? Don't even bother asking. THEY EVEN TELL THE TITANIC IS MYTHICAL! FOR CHRISTS' SAKE THAT'S EVEN WORSE THAN THE ONE WHERE NOBODY DIED! I hope the creators of this film learned something out of this. If not? Well, at least I'm not the only looking for blood.Unlike the first one, I can forget this for a few weeks, In the words of Tavish Finnegan De Groot(The demo-man of TF2) "Thankfully I already can't remember"
vornado11 Before I begin, I'd like to say that there are probably worse movies out there, but this is the worst movie I've ever seen. If there are worse, please don't let me know.With that said, THIS IS THE WORST, THE ABSOLUTE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN. MY. LIFE! I've seen Son of the Mask, Mr Popper's Penguins, Garbage Pail Kids, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Biodome, North, Starchaser, and the other Titanic movies, but this tops them all!The movie is a sequel to the almost equally abominable movie The Legend of the Titanic, though it's a sequel in the same way Halloween III was a sequel to the rest of the franchise. None of the characters' voices are similar to the original, most of the personalities are either different or nonexistent, and they changed the gender of one of the main characters... The entire movie is also a contradiction since the first movie was told in a flashback that was completely different from what we see here. It's clear that whoever made this movie didn't even bother to watch the first movie(not that I blame them.)To call this bad would be an understatement. To call this awful wouldn't cut it. To call it an UNGODLY ABOMINATION OF MANKIND AND IMAGINATION wouldn't even scrape the tip of the iceberg! The movie rapes your mind, destroys your intelligence, and smashes any sense of sanity or reality you may have had before watching. You will want to stab your eyes out and pour bleach into your skull to try to forget this crap!I could go on and on, but this is a review, so what's it about?In short: The main characters go searching for the Titanic, end up in Atlantis, and fight a swarm of mice and sharks.In long: The main characters go searching for the Titanic, end up in Atlantis, and fight a swarm of mice and sharks.Yes, this movie has the barest excuse for a plot, which becomes more nonsensical and disjointed as the movie goes on. There are side plots about love interests that go nowhere, villains from the first movie that appear out of nowhere and return to the inky blackness they came from, and an amazingly unnerving atmosphere created by the hostage cult known as Atlantis and the characters which instantly develop Stockholm Syndrome.Oh yeah, the main characters are brought to Atlantis against their will, experimented on, and told they can never return... and they take this news as if told they just had to stay with at a friend's house overnight. ...Did I mention this movie is devoid of all logic and emotion? What else happens? They get in a war with rats and sharks... for some reason. The bad guy from the first movie joins in... for some reason. The rats give up but the war goes on for another 20 minutes... for some reason. Finally, our heroes are rewarded... FOR SOME REASON! They should just call this "Bland Characters Doing Random Things."Oh, and if you don't think any of that sounds too bad, I didn't even mention Pengo and the other "aquatic friends", the toys that come to life without explanation(a la Toy Story, but creepier), the god-awful musical numbers with one featuring a rapping shark and the other continually changing genres, and the horrible HORRIBLE ending that will make you question if life is even worth living any more...The characters are bland, stiff, and lifeless, as if they're puppets in a very bad kindergarten show. The songs are ear-rapingly bad and thrown in at the last minute. The animation makes Hanna Barbera look like a Miyazaki film. The backgrounds are murky. Even the voice-acting sounds like they dragged random people in the studio into a recording booth and gave them 30 minutes to ad-lib something. This is probably the only movie where I can say every frame of animation and every line spoken physically hurts me...Overall, if I haven't made it clear enough, THIS MOVIE IS A TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRENDOUS, GOD-AWFUL, PATHETIC, WASTE OF TIME! I would give this movie -∞ stars if I could. No artistry, vision, story, or anything redeemable at all. You will walk away feeling unclean and it'll take days to recover from what you've seen. This is a movie that hits rock bottom in the first minute and somehow manages to drill through the Earth's crust as it continues on, finally ending in the molten center of pain and suffering. I wish that every copy of the movie and everyone involved was burned in one massive bonfire! ...If you're a glutton for punishment, watch Bobsheaux's review of the movie to get an understanding of just how bad this is. And don't forget the eye-bleach...
rorymacveigh You cannot watch this movie without questioning whether or not you're destined to go to Hell because you did. You'd think after the disastrous disaster that was the last Titanic film these idiots created, they'd think twice before making anything else related to the Titanic. But nope, these guys decided it would be appropriate to rub salt in the wounds and make a sequel, one that is much, much, MUCH worse. Basically, the hero and heroine with the help of the dog and mice from the first movie go down to search for the wreck of the Titanic in a submarine that won't be developed for several decades to come. But during their descent, their lifelines are cut by a gang let by a rapping shark and...No, I cannot go on writing the plot, its just too convoluted for words, so I'm going to put it in simple list so that I can end this day with what little dignity I have left:Gang led by a Rapping Shark Hero and Heroine and mice come across the Talking Octopus from the first film Random people from the lost city of Atlantis come to rescue them All animals in this can now talkThe Atlantis people offer our hero's (a term I use loosely) a drink that will allow them to breath underwater The mice somehow get caught up in a Communist Revolution of Mice led by a Pirate, a Ninja and a Rodent incarnation of Vladimir Lenin The Revolution is in cohorts with the Rapping Shark Gang - Mice from the first film work as spies to uncover their evil plot to overthrow the earth A wandering transvestite leads a battle against them The mice and sharks try to swim away whilst being chased by a dog with a machine gun The Titanic is raised and becomes the Hero's new home on a hidden island that no one can find on which the hero's must live out the rest of their days, which is in direct contradiction with the first film because the mice from the first one live in New York and have grandchildrenThe leader of the Mouse Revolution is slung in a Mouse Mental Institute They all live happily ever after...The parts in between you can probably piece together yourself into some congested mess. I myself was feeling too unclean to come up with any decent suggestion. You can see why this film is such an abomination and why the fevered mind that created this mess should be thrown in the Mental Asylum with the Revolutionary Mice Leaders. It's enough to drive people to tears and possibly suicide watching something as devastatingly awful as this horror story, and the fact that it was marketed as a Children's film makes it all the more terrible.
