Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

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

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I have argued again and again and again that kids are smarter than what people say they are and can remove fiction from reality and what they watch doesn't effect their personality.And the Space Ghost comes along and I LOVED watching the reruns when I was a little kid and then I grew up to love comic books when I started reading and that stayed with me my entire life and....sometimes I wonder if Space Ghost is the reason.That's what it is...it was made back in the day when kids cartoons were full of Adventure...and I ate stuff like that up. I was an addict...And maybe because of that I have multiple degrees and still have a Kindle (password protected) filled with Adventure novels and comic books and nothing of any real substance.So that is what it is. Adventure. Pure Adventure in outer space.I was a little boy once and cartoons like this were made for me. It's what the spirits of all little boys are made of. It's what makes us want to swing from ropes, climb trees, and battle our friends in our backyards...or the woods a few blocks away that everyone used as a dump and it was really more of a patch of trees than real woods but...Chicago. In Chicago a patch of trees are "the woods" and that is where the adventure takes place and Cartoons like Space Ghost inspired them.

It's been forty three years since I first heard that Space Ghost was coming this September on CBS. And golly, I just couldn't wait. It was the Summer of 1966. I just turned 12 and Summer vacation was really swell. But after seeing the trailers for the coming Fall line up for Super Saturday, I found myself looking forward to September,even if it meant the return to school.While the new line up looked pretty good, new cartoons and all, the one series that stood out above the rest was SPACE GHOST.SPACE GHOST was even better than we expected. Along with the adventures of Space Ghost as he stood guard over the galaxy from any evil doers who would ever dare cross path with the Space Ghost and his loyal crew, Jan, Jayce and their monkey, Blip, this program also took a distant step into the past with Dino Boy, a boy who got lost in a prehistoric world that was full of danger and exciting adventures, along with a caveman named Ugh, who befriended Dino Boy. Together, the two faced this dangerous world, armed with Dino Boy's cunning, Ugh's brute strength and a mutual affection between the two that would carry them through both good times and bad.Metallus, Brak, Cyclo and the rest of all those intergalactic bad guys have always had it out for our intergalactic super hero. Unfortunately, these bad guys had an Allie that would succeed where they had all failed, namely the PTA, who felt that for any cartoon to be this good, there had to be something wrong.Well it was decided that Space Ghost was too darned violent so the PTA wielded their forces and when they were done, Space Ghost was little more than a shell of what he was in earlier episodes.

I'd watch these as an adult when they first were aired. The superhero had Power Bands, which apparently could do nearly everything by pushing the right buttons. In about 8 minutes per complete episode, a problem was set up, a glitch to its solution occurred, and then the hero triumphed, often with the help of his monkey. (With all his power bands and the like, he, Jayce, and Jan were often at the mercy of the bad guys until they got help from an often invisible Blip. So much for high-tech.Is that they're rescued by a small simian a spoiler?) Some of the villains were great, but one of the most underused ones was Metallus, who was the one who was the most honorable, and the one who contended with Space Ghost, technologically. The horde of robots he commanded were occasionally a bit silly, such as the "rock-throwing robots," to quote Jayce's observation, but the heroes managed to get through them or otherwise evade/avoid them.The stories, as noted, are short and simple. As such, they're good for a fast break when one's had a long day. They're a lot of fun and worth a view.

Well, Time-Warner(or whoever owns the rights at this hour) has finally gotten around to releasing the ORIGINAL "Space Ghost" on DVD! These are the cartoons that I grew up watching. While I'm certain that there are a lot of fans for "Space Ghost Coast to Coast," "Harvey Birdman," etc., but let's face it: There are a good many of us who remember these shows in their original format. Watching them in their pure form is not just about nostalgia. There might be a new audience waiting to discover these lost treasures. Space Ghost was the baddest dude in the galaxy: with those power bands, the inviso-ray, and, best of all, that ship, THE PHANTOM CRUISER. That has to be one of the coolest starship names EVER! Then, there's "Dino Boy" which was part of the "Space Ghost" series. The DVD is set for a July 15, 2007 release. Also, the original "Birdman/Galaxy Trio" series will be released on that day. "Birdman" was AWESOME, fighting intergalactic crime with the help of falcon (or was it a hawk?) named "Avenger." And the Galaxy Trio. . . who could forget "Gravity Girl" (what a babe). Hopefully, Turner will continue to release the rest of the Hanna-Barbera superhero series, such as "The Herculoids," and, of course, the original "Fantastic Four" cartoon series. Also, while they're at it what about "Frakenstein,Jr," "The Impossibles," "Secret Squirrel," and "Atom Ant?" Alright, I'm getting carried away. Sorry.
