Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

good back-story, and good acting

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

While the film was still bad on a technical scale, it's certainly better than the TV series that was inspired by this.The Good: Some of the characters are kind of funny. Not the best acting choices, but still okay characters. The enemies are... kind of creative at timesThe Bad: Well... the acting isn't the greatest and the battles and fight scenes are just boring. And the dialogue is very poorly executed.Not the best movie ever, but I would definitely give it a try.

This was terrible. I hate the idea of hurting the feelings of actors, so I try not to be too harsh but this? Wow. It's shouldn't be on Cartoon Network. It's a quality that could only be appealing to very, VERY bored children when there's nothing better on. Everything was bad; the acting, the props, the plot, the jokes, the script. Everything. Not to mention the overdone (and sexist) elements to it. If you can stomach the awful CG, you can then enjoy all the actors overreacting and screaming while struggling to act like a human. Fun! No original jokes, you'll have heard every one before. Even the damn filming itself is low quality; the camera tends to either go out too far in order to fit a shot, or come in too close which means it jumps around enough to make you ill. Don't waste your time on this trash.

Level Up is a very fun show with a great cast of talented young actors. It's well written with plenty of comedy and action to appeal to younger kids and teens and loads of humor that adults will catch as it sails over their kids' heads. Dante, Wyatt, Lyle and Angie are high school kids who play an MMO game called "Maldark: Conqueror of all Worlds". Characters and weapons from the game start "leaking" into their world (See "Level Up: The Movie" for the origin story) and the kids use their gaming skills to battle the bad guys and use treasure to make life easy, usually with unintended and hilarious consequences. All the 1 and 2 star votes seem fixated on whether the show is an accurate portrayal of MMORP gaming and their complaints sound like the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons declaring everything "Worst...Episode...Ever" because they know how the show should "really" play out. They're missing the point completely. The MMORP is a backdrop, the story is about kids from different backgrounds dealing with the real world and realizing they have more in common than they thought. And did I mention that it's funny?

I'm almost midway from watching the first episode and I thought I would look it up on IMDb, mainly because one of the actors looked familiar. For some reason I could swear the actor Jesse Usher was on a a show from Disney that he was the main character.If you watch the first episode keep in mind, it's campy and silly and it doesn't take it's self serious. It's a kids show and it's "fantasy" and the weapons look goofy as all heck because it's supposed to be the kids that built them. I was a little old to be watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the past, but I did see an episode and this kind of reminds me of that. So far this is something I would let the kids watch. There is just mild video game violence, no blood, just kids hitting trolls and such with goofy looking weapons. I will probably watch this another time with the kids. It is much better than some of the other kids shows I have seen.
