Boring

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

When people say that Danny Phantom is cool because he has ghost power, they're obsessing over genetic mutations. The plot isn't that good. In fact, the plot harshly transitions, with cheesy puns here and there. The script is very repetitive and dull. It needs more comic relief. Poor execution made the show worse than it should be. The show is just about trying to get a girlfriend and fighting ghosts. The harsh transition from the pro-log to the theme song with eerie whispering every 5 seconds and fake rap warns me to turn off my TV.

It's gong to be had to put everything I want to say into the small space I've been given, so here I go:Basically, the show is about a 14-year-old boy named Danny Fenton who, after an accident with his parents' new Fenton (Ghost) Portal, becomes half-ghost. With his powers (super strength, flight, intangibility, invisibility, plasma rays and shields, a Ghostly Wail (sonic scream), and cryokinesis/ice manipulation) and help from his friends Sam Manson and Tucker Foley (and later his older sister Jazz), he defends his hometown of Amity Park from the ghosts that exit the portal.I've been with this show from practically the beginning, as a five-year- old watching it back in 2004. Now a bit over nine years later, I'm 15 and still watching the show. The characters amused me, the villains, especially Vlad and Dan/Dark Danny, were creative and interesting, and the show had me hooked from the start. I wish it hadn't been cancelled back in 2007 (though I've heard rumors about a 4th season coming next year).

There's a reason the (very few) people that don't enjoy the show have their reviews poorly rated on here... because their arguments just don't hold up. One of the top 5 best Nicktoons of all-time, without a doubt. Danny is a likable, witty character. He doesn't always win, and that's what makes him lovable. He deals with a messed-up family, getting bullied constantly, and his own teenage insecurities but still, in the end, remains a kind-hearted enough to focus on helping others, no matter the cost. He does slip up by trying to get revenge on bullies or making himself the Ultimate Enemy, but he learns from his mistakes and becomes more powerful by doing so, such as the pre-mature development of his Ghostly Wail superpower. That's the great part about this show--it has a moral along with being witty and smart, and he has his quirks and weak moments. One of the most three dimensional characters Nick's ever created. The only reason the ratings ever went down was because Nickelodeon moved it around and never built up hype with toys and such like they do with other shows. Wonderful, original show (how many other times half you heard of someone that can ~~~turn into a ghost/other supernatural creature and return to normal afterwards?) My two complaints are that everything works out ~~~too conveniently in the end, like someone showing up to save Danny's behind last minute or them always finding a way to erase the memories of anyone who learns of Danny's powers, and that Sam would probably be considered a poser. But it is a Nicktoon. Forever wishing it was back on the air, SSxx

Danny Phantom is absolutely awesome. It is very well written as well as having a lot of humour, action and pretty good looking characters! (Mostly Danny ;]) I honestly cannot understand how Nickelodeon is cancelling this show. Danny has a huge fan base throughout the world and the show even lives up to its "sibling" The Fairly Odd Parents! Danny Phantom is a very good kids show as well as being appealing to teenagers and adults alike. Butch Hartman should be plainly offended that Nickelodeon wants to/is cancelling such an amazing show.
