Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Se7en14 Lets get one thing our the way before we start the review, the comparison to Archer thats being made. I can see where the similarities come from but this is still different enough from Archer to be original, almost such as Family Guy is similar to The Simpsons or Mad TV was/is to SNL. While they may be similar they're also very different and the show itself stands as an homage to 80's comedy and action films. Chances are if you have watched an 80's cop movie such as RoboCop or Lethal Weapon or TV shows such as Miami Vice you'll understand the style and take for the series. But the show is not an Archer clone and unfair to describe it as such. Moonbeam City is a fantastic new addition to the adult cartoon humour that has been getting bigger in the past few years.The Good: The show is hilarious. And the cast does a great job at keeping up with the jokes and playing their respective characters. Rob Lowe plays Dazzle a dimwitted cop who is narcissistic, stylish and probably our first Pan-Sexual character on a TV show, without any spoilers basically Dazzles character hits on women, men and even animals...You'll have to watch to get the reference. Next is Will Forte who plays Rad Cunningham Dazzles rival to be the #1 cop and replace Dazzle as much as possible, he is also another dimwitted character who only cares about pretty much overtaking Dazzle but is just as selfish and maybe a bit more dumb than him. Pizzaz Miller played by Elizabeth Banks who their chief, she basically yells and screams at them for always screwing up and seems to break a lot of windows, her purpose is to basically be a huge bitch and chew out Dazzle and Rad for their incompetence and you have to wonder why she Dazzle and Rad around with all their blunders. And then finally there's Chrysalis the only person with brains on the team and who seems to know what to do, and when. But of course with all the morons around she's used and abused by just trying to do her job. The style of the cartoon is very nice, a very 1980's neon type of glamour look. The city looks fantastic even though it's rampant with crime and just overall the overall tone gives you a feeling of 80's culture and references. And while at this point there hasn't been many episodes the jokes are great. With some funny reoccurring jokes that happen in every episode. And then the music which is a synth type of club music, from opening credits to chase scenes all the way to end credits, the music rolls and gives it that extra nostalgia feeling.The Bad: Some of the jokes fall flat and are just not there or are hard to get, other times it tries to be funny but really t's more awkward.but frankly they're few and far between as of now there aren't that many episodes so it's hard to say if the show will get renewed, though here's hoping it will. There's not much else to really say bad as the series relies much on humour that you either may or may not like, but all in all the show is still a great gem.Final: Moonbeam City is funny not everyone may think so, but not everyone has the same tastes. The shows animation and voice acting is top-notch and the humour either makes you laugh out loud or may fall flat, either way if you're looking for a new show thats both funny and stylish try out Moonbeam City you won't regret it.

ddenver Some reviewers really like the word "ripoff".As far as the Patrick Nagel thing goes, there's a difference between a ripoff and an homage. This is clearly an homage. Read the "trivia" section on this page.The only similarities to Archer are the TVMA rating, and the fact that it's about a bunch of adults who work together. That's it. Seriously. How is that a "ripoff"?Stylistically and tonally it's much more like Metalocalypse, which was a fantastic show that i miss terribly. I suspect Tommy Blacha's involvement with both has a lot to do with the similarities. The voice cast contains some of my favorites, it's well written, and i really hope it doesn't get canceled.

thenextgenjedi A lot of people immediately wrote this show off based on the pilot alone calling it an Archer knock off. Both shows star an attractive, bumbling male lead and honestly, that's about where the similarities end. I love Archer, but I LOVE Moonbeam city. The show has no desire to have grounded story lines and delivers a clever, entertaining way to kill a half-hour. If you haven't seen the show or stopped after the first episode give it a shot and really stick til at least the third episode and then build your own opinion separate from the deluge of Archer fans smashing on a completely separate show. The fan favourite is Episode 3, but so far my two favourites are Episode Two and Five.Amazing show that really deserves a chance. If every show was judged solely on it's Pilot than Archer and Seinfeld never would have existed.

scottjeansonne Similar humor sensibilities to adult cartoons mentioned in summary title. Love the subtle jokes as well as 80/90s cultural references. Not a show with universal appeal but do not think this is what they are going for. Rob Lowe's voice and acting sensibilities really add to the humor. This was one of the first shows I've watched in a while and caught myself laughing out loud. If they can keep this level of humor going even for one season, this will definitely become another cult guilty pleasure series to add to my list. I would not be surprised if it does not make it past the first season due to this being a very specific type of humor that is likely not to gain many fans beyond those who already love this type of adult toon comedy.
