Very disappointing...

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I am going through a pre-midlife crisis and am watching numerous cartoons from my youth. Hanna-Barbera played a big role in my childhood TV so I could not pass up the opportunity to watch Johnny Bravo when I discovered a cheap DVD on Amazon! Johnny Bravo, among many many other cartoons, comes from a time when creators had almost completely free reign on what the put out, provided it didn't have nudity or swear words...aside from that, anything was fair game. The Flintstones highlighted the sexism of the time, whilst Hong Kong Phooey was somewhat racist. But as I said, it was a sign of the time, and Johnny Bravo was no exception.The cartoon focuses on Mr. Bravo and his antics to try and get the girl. His methods, although persistent, were somewhat flawed since he relied on being buff and acting like your typical airhead jock. Although the way he treated women would be considered downright sexist and degrading to women, the show promotes the opposite view. This is because every attempt he makes using this approach fails and it simply highlights that women should not be objectified or treated like women were in the 60's. It was a bit of a mind game, but I honestly think that the cartoon's silliness did have an essence of a message!The plots of the episodes themselves were great fun. From Johnny Bravo being thrown out of a plane to him shrinking to the size of a pea, this series really did cover all its bases. I struck of a point here because I felt some of the episodes were repetitive making them unmemorable, or just a bit too silly making them annoying. However, the majority were great and that is what is important. Like many cartoons, Johnny Bravo enjoy referencing other cartoons to. From their rendition of the Scooby Doo to Batman, I loved that this cartoon really did make you feel like you were experiencing more than just the small world of Johnny Bravo himself. It also gave me a few more cartoons I need to add to my watch list!Johnny Bravo is not only a great cartoon of its time, but it is a great cartoon period. Although some of his antics are questionable from a gender equality point of view, the cartoon itself emphasises the opposite message! If you enjoy watching something to relax to at the end of a hard day, or you just want a laugh, give this a go. It's peachy :)

Johnny Bravo is a hilarious show about a guy who is on a non-ending hunt to get a girl. Every time he sees a chick he flirts with them though he does it so unsubtly that the girls punch him in the face. The jokes are hilarious, and Johnny Bravo is one of my favorite characters from Cartoon Network for sure. This pretty much the cult classic of Cartoon Network. It can be enjoyed just as much by adults as kids. This is mainly due to the writer Seth Macfarlane knowing how to reach many adults funny bones. After the first season of Bravo Seth made Family Guy which is a very popular show amongst adult audiences. Seth wrote it in a way that made enjoyable for anyone. Many people will disagree with this statement, but I find this much better than Family Guy. Yes I said it. Overall Johnny Bravo is a really funny show.

The beginning of Johnny Bravo was excellent, as many reviewers have already stated. Johnny knew kung-fu, had an awesome car and was truly the epitome of cool.Somewhere along the way, however, things began to change. Now Johnny Bravo had to ride a tricycle because he couldn't drive, his taking kung-fu was just a gag for being beat up by children and no one truly liked Johnny anymore; instead he was just a whipping post for the town.This seems to happen to a lot of good shows, particularly cartoons. Someone interprets the silliness and charisma that make a character click as "stupidity," and the series goes downhill.What makes this more disappointing is that Johnny Bravo, in its original incarnation, was a true comedic treasure.

I've seen more people agree with me on this: The 1st season of Johnny Bravo absolutely rules.Briefly put: Johnny's charm stems from being utterly cool in every way possible, even with women, though he's consistently unsuccessful with the latter. After season 1, the show jumped the shark as Johnny lost most of his cool and was turned into the Aron city-village idiot. In addition, they added a number of geeky characters, of which Carl rates about a 9.8 on my Jar-Jar-Binks-O-Meter.The 100% score above thus relates only to Season 1. Do not venture beyond...
