Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

pastryrockin The Awesomes are great! I don't know why but, people who tend to write negative reviews about shows are often sad little people who are disappointed that their favorite shows are no longer interesting or a pale imitations of themselves. Well, my thoughts are don't take issue with something new because your old dried up crusty shows haven't covered the same topics the new shows are covering. Comparing this to Family Guy is so embarrassing because they really have nothing in common besides writers named Seth, former cast members of Mad TV and being animated sitcoms. No the fact is that the show lacks a lot in common with many of these shows the other reviewers have mentioned, so if I were you, I'd disregard sad old men who can't make an objective analysis of new shows because they're still stuck on shows that have lost their mojo or been canceled. The Awesomes are actually quite addictive. I think the fact that the show focused a good amount of time of some the formation process of the team and its rivals, is something you don't often see but, they have fun in the process. Many of the other shows often, have awkward or unexplained transitions that further their plots, The Awesomes plot is generally revealed in more naturally textured plot lines that mirror funny, yet, exaggerated real life situations. The show isn't exactly predictable, if you ask me but, it does maintain a certain level of character structure that keeps each character from just spitting out random jokes that don't suit the personalities built into the show. Altogether The Awesomes manage a good balance of animated and superhero surrealism, comedic quality and actual characters that aren't being offered by many shows that readily change the characters up just to fit whatever jokes pop into the writers heads.

Christopher Kapp If I had to write a definition for ham-fisted The Awesomes would be one of my first references. The show has some interesting characters, decent animation and a great cast of voice actors which made me wonder why this show isn't better. The answer being the writing. The script feels like it is really holding the show back. It bludgeons the watcher over the head with whatever it is trying to convey giving the viewers no intellectual credit whatsoever. It feels like it's a kid show in it's delivery with sporadic adult content thrown in. Almost like a less funny, much more adult Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (which is an excellent movie).I realize this is harsh on many levels so let me rein it in. Kenan Thompson, Ike Barinholtz and Taran Killam are excellent; their characters are what have gotten me through the series. Ironically the two characters we're supposed to feel the most strongly about: Prock and Hotwire, are the most difficult to care for. Their rapport felt rushed and kind of materializes out of nowhere. Their relationship, much like the show gets better as it begins to take form, but it just feels like it should be better.My advice is to watch it, digest it and come to your own conclusion. I hope this post doesn't keep any one from trying the show out but lets some like-minded viewers know what they're in for.

DarkVulcan29 I liked that this show is trying to be it's own thing, It's edgy but does not overdue it, like The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park,American Dad to name a few. Most certainly not for kids, even though it's not overly vulgar, the show is for adults. basically spoofing Justice League, The Avengers, and X-Men. The humor mostly on the superhero foul ups, and the funny issues of the characters. I'm surprised that this is not on Adult Swim, it's a very funny show, and enjoyable. It's proof you don't have to count on gross out gags to be funny. That's what animated shows started to depend on lately. The animation is pretty descent, not high art. I really hope this will be on a while.

harryjohnson2008 Being a big fan of SNL, I really wanted to love The Awesomes. But unfortunately, I couldn't even like it. With all due respect to Seth Meyers, et al, this show is just not funny. And sadly, it's not even interesting. There's nothing new or fresh about the concept of an "inferior" superhero taking over a group of other inferior super heroes. It's been done. And it's been done much better. The show seems like it's trying really hard to be a little edgy, but it doesn't even come close. If you're going to do an adult animated show, then you have to go all out, like the Simpsons, American Dad, Family Guy, etc, etc.. There has to be some spice and some bite to it. Unfortunately, this show not only lacks any kind of heat whatsoever, it falls flat and bland like boiled, limp cabbage. Which, in the end, only leaves you with gas.
