Diagonaldi Very well executed
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
themoovees You can tell that the two creators inject an enormous amount of love into this show. I don't know of any other tv show where the creators have so much creative control, and use it so very well. It's amazing how every season is very different, but still true to the heart of the show. Everybody should listen to the commentary tracks of the DVD's. They're very unconventional, but very interesting. They never seem to directly talk about The Venture Bros, but if you listen carefully they tell you an enormous amount about the show. Far more than in other tv show commentaries that directly cover their subjects.
Joshua Gist I've watched The Venture Bros, since I was kid and always enjoyed the series, even though I didn't completely understand the show until I was older I appreciated it for the adventurous Dean and Hank, The kill crazy, caring, and sociopath Brock Samson, and the second rate genius Rusty Venture. Over the years The Venture Bros have changed from a cliché, yet unique and similar version of an adventure show like "Johnny Quest Show" to a modern style show with secret agents, better graphics, more and new detailed characters and backgrounds. Also, along the way "The Boys" Dean and Hank Venture have not only become funnier and dynamic duo, but they've matured quite a bit and developed more distinct personality, while they still possess their child like traits. They've both grown past their previous personalities as two naive and home schooled boy genius kids. For example, throughout the series the boy's begin to interact more and more with reality and realizing their's more to the world than studying. Dean faces heartbreak and goes through a emo stage (most likely because he and Hank are the longest living venture clones, so they've had more experience with the real world. Then Dean transition into a young intellectual whose begun to find a purpose and in the world and following a path of his own, but still is that happy kid we remember him as.Then Hank starts to become more athletic and taking on the role of a young playboy/billionaire, and performs more daring and risky stunts. Each becoming more heroic and realistic instead of Hank pretending to be a Hero and is actually making it a reality. Finally, The Venture Bros take on a more modern world view because they start relating to people about college, new technologies and etc.
d_s_chapman A great adult cartoon in any sense; but I think it really appeals to people in their late 30's - 50 years old. Why? As other reviewers said, this is the best blend of Johnny Quest, Family Guy and Jerry Springer that we will probably ever see. So, those who saw Johnny Quest in it's original form can really relate to how the writers have shaped this cartoon from that 60's original into one of the new millennial "new wave" cartoons (Family Guy, redone Space Ghost, Aqua Teen Hunger Force - hell, Robot Chicken) I will not write a spoiler except to say that the way the characters relate to each other seals the deal.PS: What is the post baby boom generation? For me (45 years old) it's the people sensible enough to know we aren't baby boomers (like Bill Clinton, George Bush and other 60's/early 70's greats that were going to change the world...ha, ha, ha!); but not young enough to be Gen X (thank God!). If you can relate to a certain Soul Asylum song, you are one of us.
richblac I was skeptical when a friend/co-worker let be borrow his Venture Bros. DVDs. I was absolutely hooked while watching "Tag Sale, You're It". The Depeche Mode conversation between Dr. Girlfriend and The Monarch is about the funniest thing I had seen ever.I was a little concerned about how they would top Season 1, because that set the bar extraordinarily high. I was not disappointed as Season 2 was AWESOME. Brock: Hank, no! It's suicide!Hank: Well then I'll see you in Heck! Good stuff...Thank you, Mr. Publick and Mr. Hammer.Marjod-
